Tom & Will double bass gig bag 3/4 size

This is very much a first impressions review as I have only just received the bag. This is a superb quality bag. Everything about the design is strong, solid and manages to give the impression it expects to be around for years. At 15mm the padding is thinner than some but it is made of stiff foam rather than fabric foam and it feels like it will withstand all sorts of clumsiness without damage. The bridge is protected by an extra pad and the handles are really chunky and well riveted to the body of the bag. A couple of sizing issues - my bass is on the cusp between a large 3/4 and a small 4/4 in height but without a massive top bout( (top bout - 50, bottom bout - 68, height to bridge - 43, top of scroll to bottom of body not including spike - 187, body length - 117cm). This nominally 3/4 bag takes my bass with ease. There is about 1-2" spare in height, possibly so much because the bouts aren't stuffing it full of bass and hence there's a bit of slack. Either way, for a small 3/4 bass this bag would be pretty massive. The other sizing issue is the bow pocket which is only big enough for a single bow case. It seems a meanness not to include enough fabric to fit a double bow case. Doing so wouldn't cause any problems for single bow cases. Anyway, overall impression is massively favourable, though as ever time will tell once I actually start using it out of the house.

This bag looks great. It's soft interior is great for the bass and it feels as though it has enough padding. The handles are tough stuff. It covers the bass well. I have had mine 3 years+ now. The case comes with pitfalls. The zips on the case broke in the first few months and aren't an easy fix. The little rivets that fasten on the handles can cut through the interior lining of the bag. The rivet ended up exposed inside the bag and started to cut away at one of my strings, eventually leading to me having to change the set due to damage. A good bag with lots of room for improvement.

Absolutely solid soft case. Really pleased with the quality and fit of the bag on my double bass. Highly recommended.

This case gives a strong impression and fits well. When shopping online you have to rely on accurate measurement information. My bass is 52 cm wide at the top but 71 cm wide at the bottom; Also, the bridge height to the arched bottom is relatively high at 51 cm. This product came the closest to the dimensions of my bass. As an improvement, I would suggest that one of the two accessory pockets above the blanket be dimensioned so long that a music stand of 50 cm in length fits completely. (I now put it in the lower pocket and leave the zipper open as necessary.)

My original Tom & Will bass case has lasted about 10 years, but now needs replacing after being out gigging several times a week throughout this period. The new one looks even sturdier and will hopefully last even longer! The only thing I really miss is the small pocket which used to be on the front per Nathan's comment above.

Want a great double bass bag. Go no further. This is my second from Tom and Will and (aside from the wheels disappearing), its even better than the first. The new backpack strap arrangements are much better, enabling complete leg freedom and easy on and off your back. Padding is excellent and the pockets are better. Delivered when promised and good value for money. What's there not to like. Buy one now!!! But... I do miss the wheels. Mine had good bearings and never caused a moments trouble.

Well made cover and fitted perfectly where others didn't. Speedy delivery

Wonderful gig bag! Previously had a cheap and cheerful bag that did the job but was uncomfortable to carry both by hand and on my back, this bag is quite contrary to that. The bag is both comfortable and durable. The handles provided are in all the right positions to aid carrying by hand and aid loading in and out of my car! The pockets are just the right size for most music and other essentials, the bag could possibly do with a smaller pocket for things such as Rosin so it does not get lost in the larger pockets but this is a minor problem. Hoping to get long term use out of this bag and it looks good so far! Worth the money spent.

Great looking bag, arrived very quickly. Sturdy material. Zips look sturdy and carry straps. Have yet used the carry straps but great to have the option.

Can't fault this gig bag - received today and have to say I'm impressed with the attention to detail and overall quality - I previously purchased a cheaper bag and I have to say, it was a false economy...the straps broke within 6 months and put my bass at risk. The Tom and Will bag appears to be 100% more robust. I'm looking forward to many long years of service.

Very sturdily made and great value. Offers extremely good protection yet is much lighter than my previous cover. My only criticism would be that an additional small pocket would be good for little things like pencils that get lost in the big pockets.

Fantastic bass bag, roomy, very well padded with excellent placing of handles, and a backpack option, I really like the colour! Hopefully this will last, it feels very sturdy. Although my daughter has already been asked who are Tom and Will?? Boyfriends??

This double bass bag has been tried and tested and it is excellent. The positioning of the shoulder straps means the double bass sits higher on your body when you are walking around and feels stable -even in storm Imogen!! The handles on the case makes lifting it in and out of a car easier. Good pocket space for music and beautifully lined inside giving enough protection for the bass. Good product to tomandwill-well done

Provides great protection with quality padding with space for bow accessories and music along with comfortable shoulder straps.
