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.

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.

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.

Tip top value gig bag
Excellent value for money gig bag.
This gig bag lasted me about 5 years before finally succumbing to the rigours of gig bag life!
It is not the most sturdy of gig bags, but the padding seemed perfectly adequate and the shoulder straps and handle were all strong and in the right places. In the end the zip died, the bottom strap button wore through the material and the inner lining had worn through in a couple of places leading to it's retirement.
Of the other gig bags I've purchased since, including a more expensive Thomann one (in a rather unfortunate cream and purple colour scheme -why, oh why did I think that might be a good idea???) it is the one I liked the best. The others seem to have back straps which are either not quite right or simply in the wrong place altogether!
It has an 'adequate sufficiency' of pockets and is black which I now realise is altogether a good thing for a gig bag... especially compared to cream with purple trimmings!

nice padded soft case
I bought this to store and carry my first fretless bass guitar. Overall it is a decently priced and good quality soft case for your instrument.
Pros:
- my bass fits perfectly in it
- lots of pockets and space for cables, picks, strings, string polishing, pedals and whatever else you need
- good padding
Cons:
- the layer that covers the padding in the inside does not look durable, so it may wear over time
Overall, it is a good quality soft case, for the price point you can't really go wrong.
