Kaces Bass Case

Take my word for it, this case is really nice. My G&L fits in it like a glove, lots of storage, nice padding, light weight, etc.

I dunno... for me, that case didn't last more than 2 years. Both of the clips at the bottom broke. EVERYONE mistakes you for the keyboard player, and it's kinda clunky and sits low on your back. Other than that, it protects well and has some nice hiding places. The pockets are kinda flimsy though.

Just my experience.

How does this compare to the TKL 6136?

I'd take the TKL over it... but i'm an offical Incase Slim Bag convert now...

Thought so too..the Incase Slims are pretty col. Not quite in the same price range though

I'd love the inCase, but had to go with what I could afford. Starving musician you know. IMO, it does kick butt over gig bags and el cheapo universal bass cases. I had a custom fit TKL for a Spector once, and this isn't in the same league.

I'm confused at a previous posting -the clips on the bottom, not sure where those are and the bass seems to ride high for me. Are we talking about the same case?

The pockets on the outside and the compartments inside give me a lot of room to store sheet music, strings, picks, straps, chords, etc.

I'm very careful with my equipment, so this case will last a long time for me. If you are the type that's looking for ultimate protection for your bass for gigging, airplanes, then the inCase is probably a better bet. If your just going from A to B around town etc, this case is something to consider.

the clips that connect the bottom of the straps to the bottom of the bottom of the case.

I'm 5'9... Guess i just rock it low...

I'd say your very right when it comes to it's use. I'm pretty rough sometimes with my equipment only because NY won't allow me to be gentle. I'm very careful as well, but i guess in the end i expect it to take a bit of abuse.

Ok, I'll agree with you on the buckles, in fact the straps themselves aren't that well thought out. My only other beef with the case is that the carrying handle is dead center - why didn't they move it slightly so that when you put a bass in it you could carry it level. The way it's built, it dives to the heavy end (body of the guitar). It's well-balanced when there isn't a bass in it.

Where can you find these... TKL bass cases?
