Description
The Chord GB-BB1 is a soft padded gig bag made to protect your bass guitar during transport and storage. It uses 10mm of internal foam padding around the body, giving your instrument a cushioned layer against knocks and light bumps whether you're heading to a rehearsal, a gig or simply putting the bass away between sessions. The padding runs internally so the guitar body stays protected on all sides.
Carrying is straightforward. There's a standard carry handle for short trips, plus backpack shoulder straps for when you need both hands free or have a longer walk ahead. A reflective strip is built in to help with night visibility, which is handy if you're walking to or from a venue after dark. The zip fasteners keep the bag closed and hold the guitar securely inside, so nothing shifts around while you move.
A spacious front pocket gives you somewhere to keep your accessories, so leads, straps, tuners, spare strings and picks can all travel with the instrument rather than in a separate bag. This GB-BB1 is the bass version, and the wider Chord range covers electric, western and classical guitars too, so you can match the bag to whichever instrument you own. A gig bag like this (sometimes called a soft case) is a practical, lightweight alternative to a hard case for everyday use.
