So, this is the first gig bag I've ever owned, and I didn't know what to expect other than a more light-weight solution to carrying around a heavy bass. The two pockets on the front offer great storage. This bag has shoulder straps on the back to make the bass very easy to carry around. The shoulder straps are not padded, but adjustable nylon straps. I don't really mind that, but some people might. The padding seems sufficient, and I'll see over time if it truly is. The exterior material is tough enough to withstand a hot iron while applying a patch. :) I'm impressed with this inexpensive little bag, and am considering getting 2 more in the near future for my other 2 basses. MUCH easier to carry the bass around with this than the heavy case.

I bought anew MF "Professional" bag for my SX '62 Jazz Bass, and it was large enough for that axe, plus maybe an acoustic guitar to boot! It was huge!!...So I bought this case, and it fits the SX like it was made for it. Is very well made, given the price.
