Bass players are notoriously demanding about their instruments. Here is how to structure a bass case and bag line that sells.
Bass Gig Bags
Long-scale basses (34-35 inch scale) need bags with extended depth for the headstock and extra padding around the body. Our bass bags use 20mm padding as standard. This is the volume category for most brands.
Bass Hard Cases
For touring and shipping, ABS, carbon fiber and wood hard cases protect against real impacts. The interior cradle must match the bass body contour exactly – a generic guitar cradle lets a bass slide.
What to Stock
- Entry: padded bass gig bag ($20-40 retail)
- Mid: semi-hard bass case ($60-90 retail)
