A double bass is a substantial instrument, and getting it from one place to another requires the right protection. Whether you are heading to a rehearsal across town, loading your bass into the car, or traveling by air, having a dependable case or bag can make transportation easier and safer. Upton Bass offers a selection of double bass bags and flight cases designed for different needs, from everyday use to serious travel.

Choosing the Right Double Bass Bags and Flight Cases

Upton Bass carries a range of double bass bags and cases, including lightweight bags, deluxe padded options, and hardshell flight cases. The company has used the products it stocks and can help double bass players choose an option based on their instrument and how they plan to use it.

For everyday transportation, a quality bass bag can provide protection while keeping the instrument relatively easy to carry. Upton Bass offers several options with features such as padding, reinforced handles, pockets for accessories, and shoulder straps.

The GEWA Premium Double Bass Bag, for example, includes 10mm padding, additional protection around the endpin, bridge, and head, along with pockets for a bow case, music, and accessories. It is available for both 3/4 and 4/4 double basses.

A Bag for Everyday Bass Transportation

Upton Bass’s Deluxe Double Bass Bag is designed with real-world players in mind. The bag includes an inch of protective foam padding, multiple heavy-duty handles, adjustable shoulder straps, accessory pockets, and a large music pocket.

A padded bridge guard provides additional protection, while the flexible exterior fabric is designed to handle the demands of regular use. The bag can also be rolled up for storage when it is not being used.

For musicians who need something lightweight for getting around town, Upton Bass also carries the Kaces University Series Double Bass Bag. This budget-friendly option includes water-resistant nylon, high-density foam padding, a padded bridge protector, and pockets for a bow and books.

Flight Cases for Double Bass Travel

Traveling by air creates different challenges for double bass players. Upton Bass developed its Hardshell Flight Case specifically to pair with the UB Travel Bass.

The lightweight clamshell design is intended to keep the bass and case under the 50-pound target for airline travel. The case uses a military-grade strapping system and is designed without components that could easily break off during transportation.

Another important feature is that the case accommodates the neck and setup parts inside the case, helping prevent the instrument from becoming separated from its components while in transit.

The Upton Travel Bass itself was designed around the challenges of transporting a full-functioning acoustic double bass. Its removable neck allows the instrument to be packed for convenient travel, while the included flight case provides a dedicated transportation solution.

Find the Right Protection for Your Bass

There is no single case or bag that works for every double bassist. An everyday player may prioritize lightweight construction and easy carrying, while a touring musician may need more substantial protection for long-distance transportation.

Upton Bass offers options ranging from everyday double bass bags to specialized flight cases, along with other accessories for double bass players. The company also encourages customers to reach out with questions so its team can help identify an appropriate solution.

Whether you need a practical bag for rehearsals and local gigs or a specialized case for traveling with your instrument, Upton Bass has protection options designed with double bass players in mind.
