Gator Hardshell Case Bass

Pro: E' una custodia di ottima fattura e sono molto buone le meccaniche. E' di una bellezza elegante e oltretutto risulta abbastanza capiente per lo strumento e per gli accessori. Contro: Se si può considerare un difetto, è molto ingombrante e quindi prende parecchio spazio in una stanza.
Io utilizzo questa custodia per proteggere e trasportare un Harley Benton guitarbass vs vintage series e la consiglio a chiunque avesse bisogno di custodire uno strumento di queste dimensioni così generose e/o di misure non standard, a partire dalle chitarre baritone fino ad arrivare ai bassi a scala 30, 32. Questa custodia "DOVREBBE" essere perfetta anche per i bassi standard, ovvero scala 34, come il precision e il jazz bass. Dato che mi ritengo molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto, vi consiglio a occhi chiusi la Gator hardshell case bass.

The case is very slim, which means it won't take up much space. This makes it excellent for storage. There is a nice, big storage compartment with a lid inside. The case is also very light which makes it easy to carry around.

However...

The construction is rather fragile. They call it a hardcase but it's not really very hard. It will offer more protection than a simple gigbag but no more than an average softcase. Probably less. It's nowhere near as sturdy as a proper hardcase. Don't ever think of sending this case on a plane.

It also has a HUGE flaw that will become apparent if you carry the case around for a while. The problem is that you can't put the case down without it falling over. The narrow width and the stupid location of the little "feet" makes it impossible for the case to stay in an upright position when you put it down. You'll have to keep carrying it until you find a place to lay it carefully on it's back. You simply cannot put it down for a short break, like waiting for a traffic light or whatever. It WILL fall over.

Absoutely NOT recommended for anything except storage.
