This review is from: Musician's Gear Deluxe Bass Case (Black)

With bass guitar case prices being what they are, I searched on Amazon to get a case that would protect my new bass after bringing it home from a local vendor. The vendor wanted about a hundred dollars for a bass guitar case, and I ended up taking it home "naked," unwilling to pay that much. AM I GLAD!

My advice on items like this is to shop around. You can pay a lot more for the same exact item somewhere else, and most chain stores sell at elevated prices (compared to online).

The construction of this case is nothing out of the ordinary, but it does well for what I paid; I don't expect to get the same as something ten times its' price. For what I paid, this case is a bargain, and I would recommend it over the $100 one because it IS a much better value. The money left over got spent on other items on my Wish List. You can do the same. All my best!

No this is not a high end case but for what you pay you get a sturdy case that serves its purpose and does the job well. Outer shell, latches, inner lining are adequate and well constructed.

As others have stated, this is great for storage and short range transport to and from, or in transport situations where protection isn't a main concern.

Its basically used when a gig bag would suffice, but you want a cool case for gig bag prices.

The inside is the padding most musical instruments and it fit my SRX series Ibanez. Its generic so it doesn't have neck protection.

It has good storage space for accessories and where the neck rests you can keep cleaning rags or other items (if you don't mind them bumping into the guitar).

The case is not as solid as I thought it would be. Its a little on the flimsy side, but you get what you pay for.

I would not trust this case handle if I had to run with it, or to protect my guitar when I take it on flights, or stacking other guitar cases on top of it. Get those combat hard plastic cases if you need protection.

Also the case doesn't line up when you close it (Sometimes it does) and at times you have to give personal attention to latches. The key lock takes some playing but works overall. But the lock is an after thought, someone really wanting to open it can use a tool to pop the locks or hinges . . .

Its not like those expensive and uber cases where you shut it, run a finger across the locks and it locks like in the movies.

The looks are above what its price is. Though the vinyl is average to touch, and plastic / metal parts cheap, it looks like much more expensive case.

The stitching is actually well done. There aren't loose ends or odd pieces, and case looks well put together.

Cons . . .

The only cons is basically this case is a glorified gig bag. It offers no real protection above a gig bag would offer.

In summary this is great case for the price. I would get another one if I needed it, but practicality would have me invest in a case that offers hardcore protection.
