Epiphone beat bass does not fit well
got the Thomann beat bass case today on my hands and im returning it immediately. the reason? i bought it for the Viola Epiphone bass as this case is recomended for this bass from Thomman and in the comments bellow but the Bass just does not fit it. i tried hard to find a way to put it in the case and when i made it i couldn't close the case. the length is ok. the trouble is in the body shape and in the depth. looks UNSUITABLE for Epi Viola. other than that it looks good, well built not so heavy might work for a hofner or harley bentn violin. big con the compartment. so small only picks you can carry. no spare strings, not cable not even a strap.
quick update. i got a scissor and a little knife and cut some of the fabric. the bass finaly fits in. the top of the case closes but still cant close the clasps. the middle one i have to struggle to close it. i dont know if it is an issue with the case i got but it seems the body depth doesnt sits well. i wouldnt't recomend this case for the Epiphone Viola. might work might not. if you wanna be sure get the official epiphone viola case.

Cheap and cheerful
Lighweight and generally well built, except for the two ribbons that hold the two halves of the case togeher when it's open. I had to staple them back to stop them getting detached almost immediately.
Bear in mind that the acrylic fleece inside the case will need to remain exposed to the air for a few days in order to lose its smell (probably coming from the glue used to fix it to the case).

great case, terrible handle
I had to pay to get this brand new case fixed locally because the handle was badly located, tilting the case off balance when the guitar was added. Now it's fine, but that basic design flaw was a disappointment. Thomann's gear usually so good! Beware.

Budget Beatles bass case
For the price it's great - protects your instrument. However, after a year of gigging it has become tired. The handle has lost its 'leather' and one of the catches doesn't work anymore. HOWEVER, it's still in use and protects my Hofner.
