Gewa Bass Guitar Gigbag Premium 20

I have owned 3 or 4 gig bags from GEWA during the last 15 years and I never get dissatisfied with GEWAs product profiles when it comes to durability: easy handling with rugged zippers and handles, minimum 20 mm protection bag padding, the right handles on the gig bag and water resistant outer fabric material used. (J especially like the handle on the front side of the bag, which is great for carrying the bass in small or narrow doorways and such.)And - the design and colour. Inside the neck security strap system is also a necessary feature that I like and do not want to be without and GEWA has also made the necessary protective areas where the strings on the peg head or the bridge comes into contact with the bag fabric inside.

A minor comment would be that I miss a system for keeping the bag packer straps away from just hanging loose when not in use. This detail would definetly have covered all points for at modern gig bag if you consider the price and brand.

All in all: the gig bag is worth its price and I give max. points for this GEWA product in my overall verdict.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this but so far I've been very impressed. I'd been looking around for ages trying to find a gig bag to replace the one that came with my bass that'd reached the end of the line and was falling to pieces. I looked at all the usual suspects such as Mono and Fusion but I didn't like the designs. Too fussy, too colourful and too stylised. I wanted something simple, compact, lightweight that did the job that didn't cost an arm and a leg. This Gewa gig bag seems to have fit the bill.

I really like the design of it with the tasteful white trim and small orange branding. The pockets are huge - I have to stop myself from weighing myself down with all my peripherals! The build quality seems pretty good, only time will tell how it holds up but as far as I can tell the construction is solid. Zips and stitching seem strong. I also like the neck support and there's plenty of padding for my bass. It feels very secure in there.

As for the cons there are a couple of minor gripes. The backpack strap length adjusters slip quite a lot. This makes it easy to take the bass on and off your back but I find myself constantly having to pull down on the straps when carrying my bass to tighten them up again. It's not a big deal and I've got into the habit of doing it without thinking now. The other thing is the placement of the front handle. I love the fact that it's there but for me it's a bit too low down on the bag and would be better if it were higher up closer to the neck. I'm sure a taller person with longer arms wouldn't find this a problem though.

All in all a great value medium range gig bag that I'd definitely recommend.
