Introducing the Tom & Will double bass gig bag

The Tom & Will 46 series double bass bags have been designed from the bass upwards and we think we now have the ultimate in protection whilst remaining lightweight, practical and economical. Special features include our RCS handles, all-around single zip easy opening, heavy duty oversized Tom & Will zips throughout, high density padding, two front lined pockets, padded bow pocket, hideaway backpack and shoulder strap carrying system with side pads and more!

Additional features

Our 46 series double bass bags feature the best quality high density padding, fabric, clasps, fastenings and zips. In short this bag is the best. We have added a internal protecting pad where the bridge will sit to stop rosin and wear from damaging the lining of the bag.

The all-around full length zip opening is easy to use and durable.

Long-lasting and reliable straps

All our straps and handles are riveted as well as cross stitched with high tensile threads - we have invested considerable time and effort to make sure that our handles and straps are not just comfortable, but long lasting as well. Each handle has six rivets, three at each end with a rigid inner core and stitched toughened polyester supporting handle covers.

Versatile backpack carrying system

The backpack carrying system is designed for comfort and practicality – the straps can be completely hidden behind the breathable back pad when not in use. Adjusting the length of the backpack straps is quick and easy with our free gliding pull straps. Do watch walking through doorways however as your bass and bag will be taller than you and most door frames!
For extra comfort we have added a padded lumbar support which also serves to hideaway the side pads when not in use.

Suitable for most 3/4 size double bases

The Tom & Will 3/4 three quarter double bass bags should fit most common size double basses with dimensions of about 178cm x 49cm x 65cm (overall length x upper bout x lower bout). Measurements are taken as follows: Full length of instrument from scroll to bottom of body excluding spike x widest point at upper bout or shoulders x widest point at lower bout or hips.

The bag is designed with a round gap for the bass spike to protrude out of the bag.

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.

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.

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.
