Thomann E-Bass Case ABS

- Build quality : because of some of the other comments, I was expecting a flimsy case. Although the hinge part could be a bit better, it feels sturdy to me and very good for the price.

- Look and feel : really good, especially the lining inside which looks fantastic

- Protection : My Cort Artisan fits perfectly inside and doesn't move an inch. I'm very cautious with my bass even when it's in the case so I can't really say what would happen if you bashed it heavily. I expect it to withstand some banging around in the back of the car and minor shocks but not being dropped from 3 meters high (well, maybe the bass would be saved, but the case would be ruined)

All in all a very good product, especially considering the price tag. One of the other comments mentioned a dark residue coming off the lining inside, but I did not observe such a thing. There was a chemical smell coming from inside at first (possibly due to the glue) but airing it out for 3 days was enough to get rid of it.

As always, Thomann provided absolutely stellar service !

It's a standard hard case and fits most basses. Great build quality I only gave it 4 stars as there could be more padding. I have added my own foam sponge for the head and bottom to create a tighter fit. The locks are surprisingly decent for the price. One thing to note there was a profound chemical smell upon opening it but letting it air out on the balcony for an hour resolved that and the smell didn't return. I've had the case for over a year now and it's stood up well minimal signs of wear and no damage to the contents.

I should also mention it has lots of space for extra strings and one or 2 small pedals nothing too bulky.

Due to the space inside if your looking for something to customise I would probably go for wood over plastic but the inside of this case has enough pockets of space to have some freedom with the layout to do what you want.

All in all you cannot get better in this price range.

Right.

Just got this, I'll update this review as I go on with it.

I needed a replacement for one of my basses I've had from the early 90's.

The original case was done in after travelling around the world for 30yrs.

So, this seems to be well made. It fits the bass really well (Peavy Koa Foundation, if you know, you know.)

It's also got two good compartments so it can fit a bunch more in this than I could with the original case.
I get a Strap, a bug wireless in it's own case, a small cable I use with the wireless, a back up cable and a set of DR stings in no problem.

Feels well made, not too heavy.

Really good value for money (so far).

Initially, I decided not to bother with getting a hard case, as they were all quite expensive, but I decided to try this case just to see, and I'm glad I did. The plastic shell is very sturdy and strong, and the case is surprisingly light. My only complaint is that the locking system is pretty bad, to the point where I probably wont use it, just in case my bass gets stuck in the case at a gig. I guess they had to cut corners somewhere to make a case that's 1/3 the price of some other options.

Overall, I 100% recommend, and I'll probably be ordering a second one so I can take a spare bass to gigs.
