Upright Bass Buggie Bass Transporter (Bass Buggy)

Can be used WITH or WITHOUT your bag on the bass! (we prefer WITH)

The Bass Buggie is an alternative to a regular bass wheel (or bass case with wheels) that allows you to roll your bass around with an ease similar to that of pushing a hand truck. With large (6") diameter, dual free-rolling wheels, the Bass Buggie rolls very smoothly and is easy to control. You can even use the Bass Buggie with or without your bass bag on your bass.

The Bass Buggie Cushion (available together with the Buggie or separately) adds a padded cushion to the platform of your Bass Buggie, absorbing the shock of particularly rough terrain (or protecting the bass edges from the plastic platform.)

How's it work? The loop on one end has a ring which goes around your endpin. You then rest your bass lower bout on the buggie, and wrap the strap up around the side of the bass. At the top of the strap, a bungie-cord lasso easily loops around the neck - and viola! Let's roll.

The main image shows the Bass Buggie on a bass without a bag; it works just as easily on a bass inside a gig bag as well! (When used on a bass inside a bag, the bungie lasso simply loops around the neck and back down - it doesn't go under the strings.)

• Made in the U.S.A.
• Can strap onto the bass body with or without a bag.
• Works indoors as well as outdoors!
• Is made of durable high impact molded plastic.
• Overall dimensions are 36cm / 14.2" length and 16cm / 6.3" in diameter (wheels, height & width).
• Inside platform length is 28.5cm / 11.2 inches.
• Weight is 3 lbs., 2 oz.
• Adjusts to any size bass from 1/10 to 4/4.
• Has non-marking durable "rubberized" wheels that are solid but offer a bit of "rebound" and grip
  Compared to the previous generation Bass Buggie, these wheels offer a wider contact patch and better maneuverability, especially in gravel, snow, or other difficult terrain.
• Rolls easily and straight on ball-bearing wheels.
• Allows endpin to remain in place while in use.
• Has a flexible body that provides some shock absorption from bumps and rough surfaces.
• Optional Cushion adds additional protection from especially bumpy terrain, or for use with a bass not inside a padded gig bag.

The length of the strap is easily adjustable, so this buggie should be compatible with every bass, from small 1/10 size student basses, all the way up to most 4/4 5-string basses (check the measurements if you have a bass of unusual depth!)

NOTE: Other sites may tout a selling point that the bass, on the Buggie, can stand up without being held. I find that advocating for this use of the Buggie is dangerous; the center of gravity of a bass on the Buggie is precariously centered for such a feat; walking away from a bass in a vertical position on the Buggie is a bad idea. I've heard from several players who tried this - even for just a moment to fumble for keys - and ended up with (sometimes major) repairs needed when their bass unexpectedly toppled over. We backed off of listing or suggesting this "feature" shortly after we started carrying the Buggie many years ago, and I don't recommend taking both hands off of a bass that is in an upright position on the Buggie. 

The optional "Buggie Cushion" provides for extra cushioning in very rough terrains, or for when you put your bass on the buggie without the gig bag. It attaches to the Bass Buggie body with heavy-duty velcro, which is included with the cushion. If you always plan to only use the Buggie with a bass in the case, you can probably do without it - but a little extra cushion never really hurt either!

Don't settle for a cheap knock-off!
We have been informed by RC Williams Co., the inventor and manufacturer of the Bass Buggy, that there are counterfeit "Bass Buggy" products being sold elsewhere - most notably at "a large internet retailer." The real - PATENTED - Bass Buggie is made in the USA, and all of ours are sourced DIRECTLY from our friends at RC Williams Co. So If you're thinking about buying one of those to save $1, you're going to have a bad time.
