Gator Cases GW-BASS Deluxe houten koffer voor Basgitaren

My brother and I make bass guitars and so we find ourselves buying a lot of cases. For the first 5-years into our endeavor we knew what kind of bass we were building for our customers. Our niche was the blue collar musician. The guys and gals that play weekend after weekend in almost any venue imaginable. As a matter of consequence, given our clientele, it's safe to assume that we don't get any requests asking for us to ship our instruments in a gig bag.Yet still buying cases was a guessing game. We really didn't know which case would come out on top because it was a longevity of life question that had yet to be answered. We needed to buy one that was durable and also a real value. After five years with several brands, we decided to go with Gator. There are two models we buy, and we leave the choice up to our customer.We like the plastic molded GPE-BASS-TSA ATA models and for those that like the wooden cases, we get the Delux wooden GW-BASS cases.Both are obviously hard shell case and very durable. We like them both. But from here on out I'll leave this review to the case that is referenced above which is the deluxe wooden tolex case. really like everything about them. They have a nice traditional look with the while piping. Since getting them our customers say the hardware doesn't pill or rust and the tolex stays in good shape.The case is heavy, balanced, and sturdy.What we really like is the material they use in the interior. There are some horror stories one in which I witnessed first hand with velour material. That's the kind of fiber that was used for the many of the earlier fender cases and surprisingly is still used today. With the right humidity conditions and if the bass sits in the case too long, the fibers will fuse themselves into the basses finish. It's a chemical reaction and it really stinks. These is nothing more sad than seeing a 1981 vintage Jazz bass ruined with orange fuzz sticking to it like two day old beard.Not so with the Gators. They use a different micro fiber all together for the cases we get. It's very soft, and fine. It might not look as dazzling as the shiny orange velours. But it's safe and that's what matters most.Dollar for dollar around $100 or so, this is a great case. It fits jazz styled and P-bass styled bodies, even five string Jazz style basses. The necks stay put in these, which helps keep the bass stable in the case while it's being jostled around. The Gator is quite popular with our bass guitar customers. So we'll continue to buy these and you won't be disappointed to own one as well.

Etui très pratique, bien fini et adapté pour Les Paul Epiphone

レスポール用のハードケースですが、かなり頑丈な造りで気に入りました。ウチに有るギブソンとバーニーのレスポールを入れてみましたが、どちらもピッタリ収まりました。

In foto non rende: il prodotto è molto più bello dal vivo. buone le rifiniture e ottima l'imbottitura intern: folta e consistente.

Ho acquistato questa custodia rigida Gator per la mia Guild Bluesbird. Si tratta di una chitarra simil les paul ma con il body più largo (e di spessore inferiore). Di fatto quella originale rigida GUILD costa un botto e bisogna inoltre farsela spedire dagli USA. Dopo un pò di ricerche fatte confrontando le misure dell'originale con vari tipi di custodie presenti sukl mercato- ho trovato questa Gator che è adatta per chitarre simil les paul ma la letterina "W" sta per WIDE e di fatto accetta benissimo la mia Bluesbird. La marca Gator è una garanzia. La consistenza della custodia è buona, forse non robustissima rispetto ad altri modelli dello stesso brand, ma è leggerissima e questo per me conta molto di più. Ottimo acquisto
