It's good, not the best but it'll do the job.
In terms of quality the case seems great. The stitching feels firm and it's tidy, can't complain that it doesn't look good.
There's plenty of padding which feels like it'll give you some protection from bumps, but it's not bulky so doesn't take up much space with a bass in (Harley Benton SBK). Got a couple pockets for storage, probably fit strings, tuner etc in there.
Only slight gripe is the design. It's basically designed like a guitar bag with no tailered fit applied, so you've got two padded sections that zip together over the bass. This has one tiny drawback when it comes to straps. If you've got a leather or other bulky strap you can't keep it attached as the zip won't do up (tested with HB pleather strap and couple others). Not massive inconvinence but if you've got rubber fret locks on you've got to pry them offf and unstrap it after use and vice versa everytime you get it out.
Overall though for the price a decent starter gig bag, it'll keep you bass reasonably safe and let you take it around without too much hassle.

It is very good, I love the many pockets that it has, however I have an 5 string bass and even though it was a set with the bass, the one key is outside the bag, it doesnt fit in and it doesnt close. Overall, though, it is nice!

Toimiva kantolaukku
Kätevä kantolaukku jos liikut treeneihin pyörällä, kävellen tai ylipäätään muuten kuin autolla koska laukku toimii kuin reppu. Ei toki ole kovan kotelon voittanutta jos haluat tosissaan suojella soitintasi mutta tämä on kuitenkin paljon paksumpi kuin ne ohuet pussit. Melko tukeva mutta ikävä kantaa selässä tyhjänä koska laukun kaula ei pysy pystyssä vaan painaa joko päätä tai kääntyy sojottamaan taaksepäin.
Saisi viisi tähteä jollei kaikkien pienempien taskujen vetoketjuista olisi hajonnut se osa josta otetaan kiinni vetoketjua avatessa tai sulkiessa. Onneksi soittimen tilan vetoketjun lärpäke pysynyt ehjänä.

Lightweight, well-made and sufficiently protective instrument, it cannot be compared to a hard case.

Accidental Acceptance
I bought this bag by accident, I originally wanted the 'heavy' model, however this managed to fit my Thunderbird Bass just fine.
I will not recommend this for any Thunderbird or any other 'weird' shaped basses as it might not fit in the bag in some cases, unlike mine.
All that said, a great bag for the price that works all fine for going places with your instrument.

Great gigbag for the price, but it's missing one simple handle to be perfect!
The build quality, padding, and overall protection of this Deluxe gigbag are genuinely impressive for the money. It feels sturdy and holds its shape very well.
However, there is one practical omission: it really needs a grab handle right in the middle, just above the shoulder straps.
When you're constantly lifting the bag into a car or moving around tight spaces, having that vertical handle on the back is super helpful. Without it, you end up awkwardly grabbing the top of the bag. Add that one handle, and it would be a solid 5/5 gigbag!

Cheap case, lots of space
I bought it for my Sire bass a year ago. The good: Thick padding, large pockets, handles and shoulder straps. I can carry the instrument easily on my back.
The bad: Zippers are mediocre quality, one is broken, another zipper handle lost.
Conclusion: It will protect your bass for a couple of years.

Nice quality/price ratio
This is a cheap gig bag. Don't expect it to last more than 1 year of intensive usage.
The usage, however is great. Nice big pockets for your scores and gear.
I used it every 2 days for one year riding a bike with my gear on my back through rain, snow or hail so my use was quite intense, but I would still advise a higher quality (more expensive) bag except if you need a something you just cover your instrument with before putting it in your car ;-)

Good gigbag for the money
Handling: The padding on the handle is very comfortable. However, I always had to adjust the back straps to maximum length (not exactly the most comfortable position) and I still bumped into the door frames of metro trains if I didn't stoop down.
The accessory compartments could be bigger, e.g. you can fit a 13.3" MacBook into the simple Thomann guitar gigbags and the same would have been nice with this gigbag, but they do suffice for the regular stuff like straps, tuners, cables etc.
Quality: It is relatively sturdy for the size and especially for the price. The foam padding is fairly tough and even so the bag is still rather lightweight. After about 5 years of constant and heavy use (and increasingly big and heavy basses as well as lots of increasingly heavy accessories I had to fit in there), seams started to come apart, though. But that was to be expected, I'm actually surprised that it lived this long under these conditions.
In my opinion, this bag is a lot better than for example the Ibanez bags that you get when you buy one of their instruments. This goes for handling and comfort (padded straps and handle) as well as protective padding and general build/stability (tougher buckles on the straps etc).
The first one I got actually had a faulty zipper that broke after a few weeks, but customer service took care of that matter right away.
