Ibanez IBB541-MGN Powerpad Gigbag

Habe mir die Tasche vor allem wegen Preis und Optik zu meinem Bass bestellt.
Von der Verarbeitung her gibts nichts zu meckern, der Bass passt super rein und lässt sich sicher damit transportieren.

Einziges kleines Manko eventuell - das vordere große Fach ist für mich leider etwas klein geraten, da ich dort meine A4-Ringmappe nicht ganz reinbekomme bzw. diese aus dem Fach raussteht und sich das Fach nicht schließen lässt. Damit kann ich aber leben, ich lasse die Mappe einfach rausstehen und das Fach offen ;)

I bought this for a Sire Marcus Miller P bass.

The outside looks of the bag are very slick, nice lively colour, fine stitches, no imperfections whatsoever. The compartments and zippers are very well done and you can carry a lot of stuff securely in them.

While the padding is enough (for the price range), I can't help getting the feeling it is not. Maybe it's the whole slim line figure of the bag that causes this feeling. Anyway the bass is protected in the bag, no question there.

The only problem I have is that if you have a fender-type headstock with big tuners, this bag will detune the instrument whenever you carry it around. Once again due to the slim line of the bag, there is no space for the headstock to "float". If any tuner is turned horizontaly while placed in the bag, it will most likely be pressed to vertical position. Not sure how it will take other types of headstocks, the top space is very thin for anything as I see it, maybe a small pillow where you velcro the neck could prevent this from happening.

I got it for a month or so and that is the only downside of this product. Other than that it's a very nice gigbag to carry, use and look at!

I am a beginner in bass and as such I don't know what the more expensive bags might offer.

But for what I want this bag is ideal. It is a clear step (and even more) above the cheap bags that usually come with your first instrument.
The padding is enough to keep your bass safe but it still is a soft bag. You're not meant to sit on it or throw it around.

It has many pockets for anything you might need to carry with you, a couple of cables, your tuner, a notepad or tablet and some more.

When you put it on your back it is balanced but the neck of the bass is too high. But again the bag is as big as a bass is.

Finally the pics don't lie.
