"My instruments are my life. I would not trust them with anybody else.
I have been using the upright bass and double electric bass gig bags for well over a decade now and they have consistently provided the protection, support, and durability that I need from them day in and day out. As a resident of New York City, my main means of transportation is the subway which means braving, at times, harsh weather conditions. Rain, snow, wind, ice, mud...you name it, these cases protect against it."
