Upright bass players need a sturdy, well-fitting, padded cover for their bass.

Transportation to and from gigs, lessons, and services is very hard on your double bass, not to mention your own back. So... the bass gig bag needs to both protect your bass and serve as a carrying case. In-Home, In-Studio storage of the instrument while not in play keeps it cleaner, less prone to swelling, splitting, or cracking from temperature and humidity extremes, and safer from bumps, falls, knocks, and spills.

With these two main functions in mind, we went to work designing a Lemur Music Bass Cover Must-Have Features List. Look for these features when choosing an upright bass cover:

• Correct fit of the bass bag is essential to careful handling of your string bass plus keeping the bridge, strings, and tailpiece in place. Use the Gig Bag Sizing Chart shown below and on each product page to find the perfect fit.

• Sturdy hardware, zippers, handles, and strapping insure the security of your double bass while in the travel case, as well as making the bass cover easy to use.

• Nylon canvas outer cover, thick padding, and durable lining make the gig bag water-resistant, and provide insulation from changes in temperature and humidity.

• Well placed handles, and a built-in backpack system make it easy to carry and load the bass for travel.

• Color choice allows you to customize for your gig or your climate. Lighter colors are reflect more heat, a real plus for hot weather, or sunny days in the back of the car.

• Price and quality level should fit your budget. We have bass covers made in the USA, China, and Europe to fit any budget. Warranty for workmanship and materials should be offered by the manufaturer. Check the duration, because warranty limits vary.
