Description
Personally, I prefer a bass bag that has dense padding to protect my instrument, because I'm a klutz and I bump the doorway about every third time I take my bass out. But sometimes, you just want a lightweight bag for less strenuous duty.
Maybe you take the bass out very infrequently, and you're super-careful and are the only one handling your bass. Or you struggle with wrestling a big, stiff bag, and something much easier to handle is what you need. Or your gig venue has very limited space, and you need a cover that can ball up into a very small package for tucking into the corner. Maybe you only need a "dust cover" for the music room, and don't require all the padding and fancy features on the more expensive bags.
Or, you're an old dog, and new tricks are not in your repertoire; you got along fine for years with an old canvas cover, and you don't need no high-fallutin' fancy padded bass bag that's obviously made for sissies.
Folks have been asking for such a bag, and now we've got them. Made with sturdy nylon with a very lightly padded lining (3mm thick). It features multiple handles, as well as accessory and bow pockets. A very nondescript, plain black bag with a durable side zippered closure. Simple, effective, rolls up small, handles easy.
And it only weighs about 4 lbs.
INTERNAL MEASUREMENTS
These bags generally fit most common instruments; but bass sizes can vary depending on the interpretations of the manufacturer. It's very important that you measure your bass to ensure fitment before ordering. We probably cannot tell you if your bass will fit, even if you tell us the make and model. Please use the information below to determine whether the case will work for you!

At last a replacement for my canvas bag
For years I have been searching for a lightweight bag that would approximate the original canvas bag that came with my 1941 Kay. I've had super protective bags that weigh a ton. As I age, I look for gear that's lightweight and easy to lug. (Sad to see Euphonics Audio go away) Anyway, here's the bag! Nearly perfect. I would prefer a softer lining, and the handle placement on the side isn't ideal for me, but the thing is a featherweight and perfect for my usage. It seems well constructed and I expect it to last a good while. Like all things Gollihur, it's the real deal!
