BassAdder60 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Bag arrived, it’s great and very heavily padded. Much prefer this over the hard case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 These new Fender ones do look very good indeed. The sides almost look solid in the pictures, what are they like in the flesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Excellent, thanks. I can feel the gigbag GAS mounting as I type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 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.

ezbass Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Gah! Annoyingly, the short scale version doesn’t feature the same construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware the short scale version is indeed a load of turd and should be avoided 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) The standard does have two moveable Velcro neck rests so that may still work for a short scale Edited September 20, 2021 by BassAdder27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
