Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a padded gig bag and a hard bass case?
A padded gig bag is lightweight and easy to carry, providing basic protection for everyday transport. A hard bass case offers superior protection against impacts, pressure, and environmental changes, making it ideal for travel, storage, and long-term instrument safety.
Do your double bass cases come with wheels for easier portability?
Gewa offers a double bass bag with in-built wheels. Alternatively, you can buy a Bass Buggie to help with double bass portability.
How much padding is recommended for a student double bass bag?
A standard student double bass bag typically has around 10mm of padding, providing basic protection for daily use. For extra safety, you can upgrade to a bag like the Gewa Prestige, which features 25mm of padding to better protect the instrument during transport or travel.
Is a flight case necessary for international double bass travel?
Yes. For air travel, a robust flight case is recommended. It protects the bass from impact, handling, and environmental changes that padded bags or standard cases cannot withstand.
How do I keep my double bass safe from humidity inside its case?
Use a hygrometer to monitor humidity and add a humidifier or dehumidifier if needed. Store the bass in a stable environment, avoid direct heat or cold, and keep the case closed to maintain consistent internal conditions and prevent wood cracking or warping.
