Thomann E-Bass Gigbag BK

Seems ridiculous to review such a low priced gig bag, but it’s worth saying that it’s reasonably well made and looks as if it will be quite durable.

Balance: being an all purpose electric bass gig bag, it’s likely made to accommodate standard sizes with a long and sometimes top heavy head stock. The Ibanez SR300EB that I bought the bag for is quite a bit smaller and some two inches (5cm) shorter than the bag. When I first put the bass into the bag, the carry handle seemed out of place and was uncomfortable. However, if I slide the bass by those two inches as far as it’ll go into the pointy end of the bag, then the balance changes and the carry handle works well. Just something to remember, if carrying the bass more than a few yards.

The pockets are good. Nothing to complain about there.

Only minor niggle is that the foam in the side walls is cut a bit skimpy, so you can feel the instrument through the fabric in places where the foam in the sides doesn't quite meet the foam in the front and back panels. Room for improvement there, I think.

Still, a good bag for the extremely low price.

The Thomann E Bass Gigbag is a top of the range product and is outstandingly great at fulfilling it's purpose. The bag itself is padded inside with 2 spacious pockets to hold any extra equipment you may need. Since I am using my precision bass mostly for college, This gig bag tends to be my go to for easy transport and has no issues protecting the bass from the horror that is public transport.
Also, for the sake of perspective, i'm carrying with me my 5 string Harley Benton P Bass in the main compartment, and in one pocket i have my lenovo laptop (regular sized laptop, not any special kind of slimline laptop), an A4 notebook and a textbook that is approximately half an inch thick. in the other pocket i have my miditech guitarface interface, a 15 ft cable, tuner, USB cable, brass slide, spare picks and a strap. And at that, the bag itself is perfectly balanced, and retains its centre of gravity brilliantly.
As well as the quality being outstanding, the Thomann E bass gig bag is substantially more reasonably priced than any similar quality products available locally. To put it into perspective 20 euro in my local music store will get you a lightweight bag with no back straps and no padding, 40 euro will get you a much more heavy duty gig bag with back straps, and possibly one pocket.
Thomann E Bass Gigbag would get my personal recommendation any day.
10/10

After having bought many "Thomann E-Bass Gigbag KB" bags -same name, features, and price as this one, but in blue- I thought it would be nice to have four more units but this time in black: "Thomann E-Bass Gigbag KB".

When I received them, I couldn’t believe it. They are infinitely flimsier and thinner than the blue ones. The blue ones have good rigidity and give the impression of a premium case (in fact, the label says "premium bag"), but on these black ones, that word "premium" is no longer there...and for good reason. They are much less rigid and have a cheap feel, whereas the blue ones had a much more professional look and build quality.

In short, if you're deciding between the two: The blue one costs less than it’s worth—it’s magnificent—while the black one costs more than it’s worth—it looks nice but is somewhat mediocre in comparison.
I’m not returning them because of the hassle of shipping them back to Germany, but I will never buy this model in black again.

As a fledgling four string wrangler I bought this cover to keep the dust and dirt off my nice new HB bass and didn’t really have high expectations- I was wrong.
Having been a drummer for a good few years I’ve been around practice rooms and gigs so I’ve seen some of the bags and cases guys arrive with “protecting” their expensive instruments, and this bag is of a pretty high standard by comparison!! Sturdy material, strong zips on the main compartment and on the two outside pockets and some padding to protect the guitar.
In short, I’m well pleased.
