Frequently Asked Questions
Is it compatible with any electric bass?
The GW-JM-BASS is designed for most standard long-scale electric basses (Fender Jazz/Precision type and similar designs). If your bass has a very large body, an extra-long neck, or extreme shapes, you should check the internal dimensions before purchasing.
Does the case have a lock?
Yes, it incorporates a locking mechanism on one of the fittings, which can be locked with a key to provide extra security against accidental openings or unwanted access during breaks and transfers.
Does the blue interior stain or discolor the instrument?
The royal blue velvet is specifically designed for use in instrument cases; it should not stain or damage the finish of your bass under normal use.
Can I carry two bass guitars inside?
No, it's a case designed for a single electric bass. The extra space is for the accessory compartment, not for a second instrument.
Is it water resistant?
The woven exterior offers some resistance to splashes and dirt, but the case is not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is recommended to use additional covers or avoid prolonged exposure.
