My Project

The String Bass cases that we currently use aren't available anymore, and we've been looking for a replacement for some time. Protec (the company that manufactures these bags) specifically says that this bag is "designed for professionals." I concur. It has a durable, weather-resistant ballistic nylon exterior, with a thickly padded structure.

This bag has the stuff - when you squeeze it, the padding feels like a 20mm thick wetsuit, like neoprene (I don't know exactly what kind of foam it actually is, but it's got that kind of density).

It's got (count 'em!) six exterior handles, many with rubber grips, for all of your "wrangling" needs - like struggling to get it into a hatchback. One of my favorite features is the convenient bow pocket -- which includes a removable, soft two-bow case that has stiffener strips in it for structure. It's got a dedicated opening for the endpin to extend through, as well as a few skid-patches on the bottom to prevent wear-through. All zippers are strong and confidence-inspiring, and they feature rubber-covered pulls for comfort and anti-scratching concerns. Finally, there are three exterior pockets for easy access to sheet music and accessories.

It's a sweet bag!
