Got to love a good collection of cases. 

[Hobbayne]

I have a tweed gear 4 music Fender faker and Thoman black with white piping faker that came with my Limelight.

You cant tell the difference fom a distance.

Apart from a Fusion gig bag in the garage I have these in my office. The black case is a rare and original Vigier zip case.

The case has a nice V figure inside. Patrice = attention to details...

I rest my case...

Doesn't own one.

 

Got these though:

 

This one being the original stock old official Ibanez Mikro Bass gigbag that I got with my old 4 string Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Bass, which is actually my main bass, back when that was still a standard accessory included as part of the deal when you bought a new Ibanez Mikro Bass. 

It doesn't have the thickest padding (not being of quite as high quality as the separately sold later version of the official Ibanez Mikro Bass gigbag), but it's the perfect size and shape for the Mikro Bass to fit quite snugly inside, which prevents it from skipping around inside the standard guitar gigbag that I later bought, which got thicker padding, and which is actually big enough, despite it being meant for guitars and not basses, for the stock Mikro Bass gigbag packed with my Mikro Bass, to easily fit inside of it, the two gigbags combined this way offering super effective protection, quite sure more effective than any single gigbag on the market would be able to offer, even if it does makes packing and unpacking the bass slightly more circumstantial, though really being a quite minor inconvenience to pay for the extremely solid protection this solution actually offers :

 

And this one being the mentioned gigbag that the gigbag on the above picture is packed inside of when transporting my Mikro Bass :

 

Note that the pictures not quite reflects the actual real size ratio between the 2 bags, the gigbag on the second picture actually ought to had been slightly bigger compared to the size of the gigbag on the first image.

I am about to scrap this double bag system for this cheap, but, at least on paper, remarkable Thomann E-Guitar Gigbag Premium BR, with 30mm high density industrial-grade foam padding and a build in "split foam block + strap with velcro locking system" neck retainer inside, to prevent the bass from skipping around (note that it's a guitar gigbag though, which fits my Mikro Bass perfectly, and I don't know it Thomann sells a similar bass version) :

Should receive it with the mail service Wednesday.

 

Edit!!! : Does indeed come in a bass guitar version as well : https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_e_bass_gigbag_premium.htm

@Baloney Balderdash Those Thomann gigbags are decent. The only thing I'd say watch out for is that on mine, one of the shoulder straps started to rip after less than a year. Otherwise, it's a good case, especially for the price.
