Bass Gig Bag

[BassAdder60]

After buying a very basic Tourtech case for my PBass that wasn’t great I decided to buy the FB1225 gig bag.

Managed to get GuitarGuitar to price match Thomann at £67 which is a great price .

 

I already have the Fender FB610 for my Yamaha bass but wanted a better padded version for the PBass

Bag arrived, it’s great and very heavily padded. 
Much prefer this over the hard case

These new Fender ones do look very good indeed. The sides almost look solid in the pictures, what are they like in the flesh?

The FB1225 is more rigid than the FB610 or other gig bags as it’s 25mm padding. 
 

Still possible to flex it but very heavily padded keeps it’s shape 

 

The internals have a bass strap pin locator to keep bass from moving and two adjustable Velcro neck supports 

 

Outside it has a nice storage pocket for strings, tools etc 

 

The outside top and base have reinforced protection to.

 

Its a great bag for £67 !

Excellent, thanks. I can feel the gigbag GAS mounting as I type.

For me the straps are usually the weak point. Sometimes the straps ‘meet’ at the place where they’re stitched to the bag which, when worn, feels like you’re being throttled. These look nicely spaced.

Gah! Annoyingly, the short scale version doesn’t feature the same construction.

Beware the short scale version is indeed a load of turd and should be avoided

The standard does have two moveable Velcro neck rests so that may still work for a short scale
