Gator G-ICONBASS-KHK - Premium softcase for Gator G-ICON electric bass beige/khaki
The Gator G-ICONBASS-KHK is a soft case from the ICON series, designed specifically for solid-body electric basses seeking near-hard case protection with the lightness and convenience of a gig bag . Its durable beige/khaki 1000D nylon exterior and semi-rigid, multi-layered construction offer advanced protection against bumps, scratches, and harsh weather, while the padded, microfleece-lined interior protects the instrument's finish.
Designed for bass players who are constantly on the go between rehearsals, gigs, studio work, and travel, this Gator G-ICON electric bass gig bag combines a fully adjustable interior (with neck and body support blocks) with a comfortable carrying system: stowable backpack straps, multiple padded handles, and a smart pocket layout. It also includes features geared towards touring and air travel, such as TSA-compatible zipper pulls, an integrated luggage tag, and a QR code identification system.
With internal dimensions of approximately 121.9 cm in total length and up to 38.1 cm at the neck , the G-ICONBASS-KHK fits most standard long-scale electric basses (Jazz, Precision, and similar designs) as long as they meet the specified dimensions. Its external dimensions of approximately 130.8 x 43.2 x 15.2 cm and a weight of around 5 kg make it a robust yet manageable gig bag, ideal for those who need a higher level of protection without resorting to a hard case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it compatible with any electric bass?
The Gator G-ICONBASS-KHK gig bag is designed for most standard long-scale, solid-body electric basses. To ensure a proper fit, it's recommended to compare your bass's measurements with the approximate internal dimensions: 121.9 cm overall length and up to 38.1 cm width at the bottom of the body.
Does it really protect like a hard case?
It's not a traditional hard case, but its semi-rigid, multi-layered construction, along with internal support blocks, offers a level of protection far superior to that of a conventional soft case, sufficient for regular professional use, provided it is used with reasonable care.
Can pedals be stored in the front pocket?
The large front pocket has space for various accessories, including small pedals, cables, and other items. However, it is recommended to protect the pedals to prevent sharp corners or edges from pressing directly against the bass case lid.
Can backpack straps be completely hidden?
Yes. The backpack straps are foldable and stow away in their compartment when not needed, leaving the back cleaner and reducing the risk of snagging when moving the case in tight spaces.
Does it include rain protection?
In addition to the weather-resistant outer fabric, the cover incorporates a specific rain cover with its own storage pocket, designed for situations of more intense or prolonged rain.

Design and materials
The Gator G-ICONBASS-KHK features a design that combines a semi-rigid structure with reinforced panels and high-density foam, along with a 1000D nylon exterior—a material widely used in technical equipment for its resistance to abrasion and harsh weather. The microfleece interior provides a soft, uniform surface that prevents the instrument's finish from becoming marked, even after long journeys. Rubber reinforcements at the base and key support points help absorb impacts and extend the case's lifespan.
Transport and organization
Designed for everyday use, this Gator ICON bass gig bag offers multiple comfortable carrying options: concealable padded backpack straps for carrying the instrument on your back, reinforced handles in several places for maneuvering on stages, in vehicles, or on stairs, and a balanced design that distributes weight evenly. The array of external pockets, including a large front accessory pocket, a hidden pocket for personal items, and additional compartments, allows you to carry everything you need (cables, strings, documents, mobile devices) in one well-organized bag.
