The Gator bass case is a mid price option that will do the job of protecting your instrument in a way no soft case will. The exterior is tough grade plastic and seems to a bit easy to mark with scrapes, but thats what its for. The clasps are not the standard one you find on older and cheaper cases - they seem to work well and with half the effort of the other clasps, and one has the option to lock. The handle has soft rubber on the underside making carrying so much more comfortable than one you would find on a cheaper or older case, and bass guitars seem to get very heavy when you've got them in a case with distance to cover. The interior is very plush - upholstered even, with area to stow strap/strings. This case is made with the classics in mind ie jazz/precision ect however i have Warwick Doublebucks with a much smaller profile so i have to use a bit of sponge to reduce movement in the case when im using it. In conclusion a very good quality case but would make sure the bass was a better fit than my Warwicks, and would reccommend this to any bass player wanting a decent case that will last as long as the guitar but doesn't have the money to buy top of the range.
