Gator G-ICONBASS-GRN - "Gator G-ICON" electric bass softcase - Green
The Gator G-ICONBASS-GRN is a premium semi-rigid gig bag from the Gator ICON series, designed specifically for standard-scale electric basses . It offers a level of protection very close to that of a hard case, but with the lightness, comfort, and carrying capacity of a modern gig bag. Its green finish (matching exterior and interior) makes it easily recognizable on stage, backstage, or in classrooms, without sacrificing a professional look.
The ICON bass gig bag combines a semi-rigid, multi-layered construction with a weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior, capable of withstanding the rigors of touring, commuting, and public transport. The gig bag retains its shape even when empty, making it incredibly easy to insert and remove the bass without struggling with the fabric, and helps absorb accidental bumps and impacts during transport. For rainy or wet conditions, a stylish rain cover is also included, stored in a dedicated pocket.
Inside, the G-ICONBASS-GRN features approximately 30mm of padding and a green micro-velvet lining that protects the instrument's finish from scratches and marks. A removable and adjustable neck support block with a Velcro closure secures the instrument and reduces stress on the headstock, while internal body blocks allow for a customized fit to accommodate various 4-string electric bass models and many 5-string configurations, always within the internal dimensions. This keeps the bass snug and stable, minimizing movement during transport.
Organization is another strong point. The gig bag offers a large front pocket measuring approximately 445 x 368 mm , with a key clip and internal dividers for cables, strings, a tuning pedal, sheet music, or a tablet. In addition, there's a hidden back pocket for personal items (passport, wallet, smartphone) and several small and medium-sized external pockets, as well as a dedicated pocket for the rain cover. For identification on long trips, it includes a fold-out luggage tag and an internal identifier with an engraved QR code , which facilitates registration and recovery of the gig bag if lost.
As for transport, the Gator G-ICONBASS-GRN offers several options designed for both touring and city use. It features concealable backpack straps , allowing you to carry the bass on your back when you need your hands free, and reinforced padded handles on the front, side, and back for comfortable carrying. The support areas have rubber bumpers that protect the gig bag and help it stand upright. The main compartment uses zipper pulls compatible with TSA locks , which are very practical for flights and train stations.
The approximate internal dimensions are 1,219 mm overall length , with a body length of approximately 533 mm , body widths of 310 mm (top lobe), 351 mm (middle), and 381 mm (bottom lobe) , a body height of 70 mm , and a headstock width of up to approximately 152 mm . The external dimensions are approximately 1,308 x 432 x 152 mm (length x width x height), with an approximate weight of 4.9 kg . In practice, this makes it suitable for the vast majority of standard long-scale solid-body electric basses , provided they adhere to these dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it compatible with any electric bass?
It's designed for most standard-scale solid-body electric basses . However, it's important to compare your bass's measurements with the internal dimensions (overall length 1219 mm, maximum body width 381 mm, body height 70 mm, headstock width approx. 152 mm) to ensure a proper fit.
Does it work for 5-string basses?
Many 5-string basses will fit without issue as long as they meet the specified internal dimensions. Models that are particularly long or have very wide bodies should be measured before deciding.
Is it a hard case or a soft case?
It's a semi-rigid case with a multi-layered construction. It's not a wooden or ABS flight case, but it offers far superior protection to a classic soft case thanks to its structure and padding.
Does it include rain protection?
Yes. The case includes a rain cover stored in a dedicated pocket, which can be quickly deployed when weather conditions change.
Can the backpack-style straps be hidden?
Yes. The backpack straps are concealable , allowing you to keep the back clean when you prefer to carry the case using only the handles.
Can I lock the main compartment?
The zipper pulls on the main compartment are compatible with TSA-type locks or other luggage locks, making it easy to use in airports and on long journeys.
Compatibility and usage recommendations
- Measure the bass (total length, maximum body width, body height, and headstock width) and compare with the inside dimensions of the case before purchasing.
- Adjust the neck block and body blocks so that the instrument is firm but without excessive pressure points.
- Always fully close the zippers before lifting the case by the handles or putting it on your back.
- Avoid placing the case on extremely abrasive or sharp surfaces, even if it has rubber bumpers.
- Use the luggage tag and internal QR code to register the case and make it easier to identify if lost.
