Frequently asked questions
Which case fits my instrument?
The hardcase is designed exclusively for AP-series bass guitars in right or left-handed configurations. The gig bag fits ESP guitar models with EX, AX, V, and RS body shapes. Check your instrument model before purchasing.
What's the protection difference between hardcase and gig bag?
The hardcase offers rigid hardshell construction with plush padding, protecting against impacts, crushing, and warping during rough handling and storage. The gig bag provides padded soft-case protection suitable for gigging and transport but offers less protection against extreme impact or pressure.
Which is easier to transport?
The gig bag is lighter and more convenient for regular gigging and quick transport. The hardcase is heavier but provides superior protection, making it ideal for touring or storage when your instrument isn't in use.
Are both cases suitable for professional touring musicians?
Yes, both are listed for gigging and touring. The hardcase is built specifically for working musicians with its secure latches and comfort grip handle. The gig bag suits professionals who prioritize quick access and portability between nearby venues.
