I'm GASsing heavily for the Ibanez IDBB5 double bass guitar gig bag... But I don't know if my basses will all fit in it. My Cobelens & de Bruyne bass is quite big (it doesn't fit in my case but does fit in my GEWA gig bag), and it would be a shame if I bought an expensive bag like this and my bass doesn't fit...

Does anyone have the dimensions for this bag?

I know this is at this point a necro-thread, but wanted to report I just got one of these cases an hour ago in the big brown truck, and it is a great case / bag hybrid. It has a molded bottom with casters and a balance extender bar, and plenty good padding, a neck latch strap in each compartment, and all the accessory bags are roomy. I tried out the backpack function too, it zips away neatly, yet is quickly accessible. Of course, setting up the straps takes longer and they don't stow neatly away at their longest position, it's a really nice feature, like the MONO case m-80 double.

In fact, I am thoroughly convinced that case was their template for this one. Sure it's not as ruggedly built (read: rivetted handles and waterproof shell) , but it is definitely a robust offering for 1/3 the price.

VERY happy with it. And, to answer the question, the bays would fit most any "normal" P / J / Stingray offering, no problem.

Yes, I have two of these cases, and they have proved invaluable. One for my G&L 5s (L2500s, fretted and fretless) and one for my Fender Aerodyne basses (fretted and fretless). I have been very happy with them. I don't know why more people don't have them.

These cases carry a LOT. They fit most basses (I even had an odd-sized Wishbass in one, when I owned one for a while). Music, straps, strings, books, tablets, cords, you name it. You can even carry a DI unit in the pocket, obviating an amp, if needs be. You could probably even fit a laptop in the bigger pocket.

Having those wheels on the cases has made it soooo much easier to get out and get away, when the gig is done. The basses are pretty well-cushioned; the case has fallen over due to my inattention (be careful about leaning them against the wall- if you must, lean them "face forward"), and no damage resulted to anything.

If you can find these cases, grab them, since they are "currently unavailable". ;)
