Thomann E-Bass Gigbag Elite

If like me you're bored with the fact that everything to do with music gear is black, then this could be the case for you! If you're at a gig or a jam night where there's multiple bands and everyone has brought their Bass/Guitar, you'll be able to find yours in that corner where everyone stores their gear. I keep a heavy Stingray 5 string in mine for just over a year now and it continues to perform. Chunky padded shoulder straps are very welcome around here and keep your back and shoulders happy. There's a good selection of pockets good for books, leads etc. I managed to put one of the small collapsible Hercules stands in the pocket at the headstock end ... which I thought was jolly good!

I don't really enjoy having a lot of accessories because, as you and I know very well, you only use one of 2 of them that is very good, and the rest goes in to the storage or just stand somewhere and be a dust collector. One of the reasons is that BAGS ARE ALL MADE IN BLACK.
If you are the kind of person who dress in black, dye your hair in black, match all your bags in black, your car is black, your dog and cat is black, you may be okay with this world. BUT I AM NOT THAT PERSON. I needed this bag!!!
Yes, this might get dirty quicker. But I wanted a brighter colored bag that doesn't look like a children's circus.
I love this bag, firstly for the color, and for it feels durable enough, and it being not heavy. It's not WOW light, but it's light enough and has enough of protection.

Over here where I live it feels like you have no choice when it comes to bags, especially if you're a bass player. There is no higher force to make me buy a gig bag for a lot of money!

The bag really feels solid. After couple of months it does its job and I have a good feeling it won't disappoint. Even with smaller rains and snow it keeps the instrument dry and safe in public transportation.

I like it how you can hide the straps and just carry it around with one hand, we all know how these straps can be annoying if you don't use them. They have these tendencies to grab objects (and living things) and prevent you from walking.

Would recommend this bag to anyone. Specially if you live in a country where they force you to spend a fortune for them.

EDIT: Started to have annoying issues with zippers, they don't close the pockets. Still usable, 4 out of 5 stars now.

Brought this bag because i needed something simple to take my bass to local gigs. Was a little hesitant buying at first due to a lack of explanation in quality but was pleasantly surprised when i saw it for myself. the protective padding inside the fabric is flexable but strong. there are even hidden compartments in the casing which i was unaware of when buying so that is always a bonus. Am a little disappointed over the colour of the bag, i believed i was buying a white & red bag but it's actually a sad sort of beige and maroon, which isn't important if you're not one to care about stains and cleanliness unlike me.
