The price may be a bit steep but the bag is definitely worth it, and it does deliver everything it promises. It does say it has only 20mm of padding but it's not some cheap foam but it's proper padding that does protect the instrument very well, I would trust this case to protect my bass in airplane luggage. My only slight nitpick would be that if you have a wide strap you might have to fiddle with it a bit to get it into the case, due to the neck brace being exactly where you would normally have the strap. But other than that I've been very satisfied with the case and it's very comfortable to have on your back.
