Clint Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So I'm fed up with carrying round my Gibson ES 335 Bass on public transport in a hard case and need to get a decent gig bag. I've tried a few but not having much luck finding one that fits this type of bass. Any suggestions? Thanks Clint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 How tight a fit is that Peerless? I think the ES 335 has a larger body. Warwick make a gig bag to fir their StarBass. That would definitely be big enough. However IMO the quality is sadly lacking as mine is falling apart after only 2 years of moderate use. Plus the straps are rubbish.

EssentialTension Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I checked the Peerless would fit before buying using the bag internal dimensions ... [quote] Inner dimensions: Length: 120 x Width (Neck/Body): 18/39 x Height: 6 cm [/quote] ...versus Peerless dimensions ... 120 x 39 x 6cm ... and it does fit perfectly. If the 335 or other comes in at or under those dimensions then my guess is it will fit. If not, then not. It's not an absloute top quality bag but it works for me and was not expensive.

ahpook Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I have a Fender soft case for my JC, fits a treat I'm pretty sure it's this one [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Fender-Metro-Semi-Hollow-Bass-Guitar-Bag/XLT"]http://www.gear4musi...-Guitar-Bag/XLT[/url] Edited May 31, 2017 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thanks everyone. The fender looks like a guaranteed fit to me so may try that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How comfortable are the straps? I might consider one of those when my Warwick one finally gives up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Had the same trouble trying to find a gig bag for my BaCH EB2 long scale. Bought a couple which the measurements indicated might fit, but then they didn't, problem seemed to be waist position and width of upper bout. That one from Thomman looks hopeful.

Dadada Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 @Clint @Grahambythesea Hi guys! Have you found any good gigbag options? I have a 335 bass that fits nothing I have got... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 I managed to get a fender gig bag for their starcaster bass and that did the job well. Manson guitars also had an acoustic bass case that it fit in as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
