Thomann E-Bass Gigbag Deluxe

I bought this gig bag for my ESP LTD B205SM 5 string bass guitar.

The material used to make the gig bag is
very strong and the main zipper is quite
substantial so it should last a very long
time with little chance of tearing or splitting.

Inside the bag the bass is well protected by the foam padding (stitched inside the lining) which provides approx. 1/2 inch of padding on all sides of the bass.

As noted by other reviews the bag is a little on the large side (The overall length is about 51 inches). In the case of my ESP bass (which has a 34 inch scale length) there is about 5-6 inches of space between the top of the bag and the top of the head stock.

While this doesn't cause any issues in general used it may be a concern for anyone looking for a more compact gig bag or where there are space restrictions during transportation. Certainly, a bag specifically designed for a particular bass would be a lot more compact and a tighter overall fit.

There are 4 pockets of various sizes on the outside of the case so there's plenty
of storage options for accessories. The larger A4 sized pocket would be perfect
for tab/song books etc. There is even a small pocket to hold an ID card or owner
contact information similar those found on travel bags and suitcases.

The bag has a set of carrying handles with a "leather like" grip that can be Velcro'd closed making it very comfortable to carry. There are also two strong shoulder
straps provided should you wish to carry you bass on your back.

Overall I think the gig bag is extremely high quality, well made and very good value for the price.

I would recommend this gig bag to others.

I needed a bag to protect a Burns bass that I owned which was slightly longer than the average bass guitar. Unfortunately the only case it would fit into was the special Burns case which was far too expensive for me. I had tried several gig bags, but each one was just a little on the small side. Then I saw this Thomann E Bass Gigbag Delux and the measurements given seemed that my Burns would fit it ok. I ordered it with some other stuff I needed and as the cost came to just over 199 Euros, my 24 Euro case was delivered free. When it arrived I was over the moon. The quality was excellent with plenty of pockets and one of them would even take my sheet music. After I sold my Burns, I am still using the same bag for my Fender Fretless and I feel very happy that it will be well protected with the 10 mm of padding inside the bag. For 24 Euros it is an absolute bargain. Go for it.

Bought this to accommodate a Sire V7 5-string.

It's a snug (nearly perfect fit) in terms of the length and the body width. It's actually fractionally too tight around the headstock -the low B-string machine head/tuning peg - to the extent that i'm a bit reluctant to force the zip over the peg and i'm choosing rather to zip to either side of the peg. The zip itself looks quite heavy-weight and durable. The padding is excellent, and the additional pockets are useful. The carry strap and the backpack style shoulder straps are comfortable. Remember you will need to duck to get under doorframes with a bass on your back!
