Whether you prefer to wear it like a backpack, carry it by hand, or roll it on its snap-on wheels, this gig bag adapts to your needs. Furthermore, the inclusion of a Global Recovery Tag means that, should you and your bass part ways, a quick scan of the tag can help reunite you with your beloved instrument.

Well... A mixed bag.

I've bought this case in December 2020 and I've been using it extensively since then. I've traveled a lot with it by train, car, etc. The Bass inside was ALWAYS safe.

Why 3/5 then? First of all it should be 3,5/5. Now let me tell you about the cons of this thing: -The backpack straps snapped after about a year - the case hit the floor - the bass was safe, but the head I was carrying in ample storage was damaged. -You have to remove the wheels to comfortably wear it on your back. -The wheels are much to small and hard. It's really unstable, shaky and loud as hell.

Bought it as an ultimate case, now I only use it when I'm sure i don't hve to do a lot of walking afterwards. It gets the job of protecting Your insturment well, but the other features are just... Not there.
