Gator G-ICONBASS-BLU - Semi-rigid soft case for ICON electric bass, blue, weather-resistant

The Gator G-ICONBASS-BLU is a premium semi-rigid gig bag for electric bass guitars from the Gator ICON series, designed for bass players who travel frequently and need the protection of a hard case in a convenient and lightweight gig bag format. Its semi-rigid, multi-layered construction combines a weather-resistant blue 1000D nylon exterior with a padded blue micro-velvet interior , offering one of the highest levels of protection in the soft bass gig bag category.

The ICON construction utilizes multiple layers of protection that give the case rigidity, absorb impacts, and help maintain its shape, protecting the instrument from bumps, moderate stacking, and the wear and tear of touring, studio time, and daily travel. Inside, the bass rests on an adjustable and removable neck block with a hook-and-loop wrap and inner body blocks that hug the instrument, reduce movement, and provide extra protection to the critical neck and headstock areas.

The ICON Bass is sized to fit most standard long-scale electric basses (34" and Precision, Jazz, and related shapes). The approximate interior dimensions are 121.9 cm overall length , with a 53.3 cm body length , a body height of approximately 7.0 cm , and a maximum body width of approximately 38.1 cm at the bottom, 35.1 cm in the middle , and 31.0 cm at the top. The maximum width at the headstock is approximately 15.2 cm.

On the outside, the G-ICONBASS-BLU offers a very complete carrying system: concealable backpack-style straps with an integrated bottle opener in one of the buckles, reinforced and padded handles on the front, side, and back, and rubber bumpers at the support points to protect the case when placed on the ground or leaned against walls and stages. The main zippers of the bass compartment are TSA-compatible , making it easy to pass through airports and security checkpoints.

In terms of storage, the ICON Bass features a large front pocket measuring approximately 44.5 x 36.8 cm (17.5" x 14.5") with a key clip and space for cables, string sets, straps, and accessories. It also includes additional small and medium pockets on the front and a hidden back pocket ideal for a wallet, passport, smartphone, or other personal items. An external fold-out luggage tag is integrated, and inside, a case identifier with a serial number and laser-engraved QR code allows you to register the case and easily identify it if lost.

As an added bonus, the case includes a stylish rain cover with its own storage pocket, which quickly unfolds to protect the ICON Bass in case of showers. The approximate external dimensions are 130.8 x 43.2 x 15.2 cm (length x width x height), with a weight of approximately 4.9–5 kg , offering serious protection while maintaining excellent portability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this case fit any electric bass?
It is designed for most standard scale (34") electric basses of the Precision, Jazz, and similar types. To confirm, check that the overall length of your bass does not exceed 121.9 cm and that the maximum body width does not exceed approximately 38.1 cm .

Is it suitable for 5-string basses?
Yes, as long as the body and headstock respect the internal dimensions. Many 5-string Jazz/Modern style basses fit without problems; if the body is especially large or the headstock very wide, it's advisable to measure beforehand.

Is it suitable for acoustic bass?
It's not specifically designed for full-bodied acoustic basses. While some smaller models might fit, a gig bag/case specifically designed for acoustic basses is more suitable for deep-bodied acoustic basses.

Is the case waterproof?
The 1000D nylon exterior and weather-resistant zippers offer very good protection against light rain and moderate showers . It also includes an integrated rain cover . However, it is not a waterproof cover and is not designed for immersion or prolonged heavy rain.

Can I remove or reposition the mast support?
Yes. The neck block is detachable and adjustable , and the body blocks can be repositioned to better fit different bass models within the supported size range.

Is it advisable to check it in on the plane?
It's a high-end, semi-rigid gig bag , offering significantly more protection than a standard padded gig bag, though less than a rigid ATA flight case. Many musicians use it as carry-on luggage when airlines allow it or in situations where they can better monitor the instrument's handling.

Can the backpack-style straps be stored away?
Yes. The backpack-style straps are concealable and fold away at the back, leaving the case with a clean profile to prevent snagging when not in use.

Design and materials

The Gator ICON series for electric bass is based on a semi-rigid, multi-layered construction that combines a weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior with internal reinforcement layers and a padded micro-velvet interior . This architecture allows the gig bag to withstand pressures and impacts that other gig bags cannot absorb, while maintaining a moderate weight and high usability.

Rubber stoppers and reinforced handles strategically placed for easy carrying (by hand, vertically, horizontally, or on your back). The front pockets and hidden back pocket are designed for both bass accessories (cables, strings, straps, tools) and personal belongings, so the case can also function as a lightweight backpack in many situations. The fold-out luggage tag and internal identifier with QR code and serial number complete a design clearly aimed at the bassist who travels frequently and wants to keep their instrument secure.
