I have the Bellafina Pro bag, and I'm very satisfied with the way it has protected my bass since 2011. I used it at University for two years and toured with it for a couple years. It's been to festivals where it got rained on and it's been strapped to the roof of a car for a couple hundred miles at a shot.
The wheels lasted almost 8 years (until one cracked its housing) and the handle straps have been slowly breaking off for the past 3 years... But the zippers and stitching are still both solid, as are the backpack straps.
Not sure how that compares to others. But I'm about to buy another.

The Bellafina is an upright bass bag with wheels! I know...I've had two. I'd still only have one if our singer in my old band didn't complain about how dirty it was and talked me into washing it, which ruined the zippers.
Maybe look at the Invalid Link Removed wheel dolly designed for the double bass. It might work pretty well laying the bass in across it rather than perpendicular like you would an upright. The only problem I see is there might not be handles in the right places on the bag to control it very well. The advantage is the wheels are a lot bigger than what you could build into a bass guitar case. I’ve got a really nice Korg rolling keyboard case with small luggage type wheels. For what that keyboard weighs it’s better than no wheels but it’s still hard to steer on rough surfaces. Bigger wheels would be way better.
For years I’ve been using a folding hand truck for my cab that I sometimes bungee a bass onto also.

Damn right it was, Jeff! The other one was tan so it showed the dirt. And in over 10 years of using it, only the singer cared. I knew I shouldn't have listened to him!Hope the second one you bought was black.
