Our take on the Gator GW-Bass Bass Guitar Deluxe Wood Case

The Gator GW-Bass is a plywood hardshell case for long-scale bass guitars, lined with plush foam and fitted with a neck support cradle. It adds an internal storage compartment and chrome-plated hardware, and it weighs about 10.9 lbs. It is splash-resistant rather than waterproof. No current store price was provided, so compare live listings before buying.

Questions and answers

Will it fit my bass?
It is built for long-scale basses with an overall internal length of 47 in, an internal width of 33.02 cm and an internal depth of 9.53 cm. Measure your bass against those figures, especially if it has an unusual body shape.
Is it waterproof?
No. Gator lists it as splashproof and splash-resistant, so it handles light rain but not a soaking or a flooded trunk.
Is it good enough for flying?
It is a plywood case, not an ATA flight case. It protects well in a car or van, but for checked airline baggage a dedicated flight case is safer.
What is in the box?
The case itself. The plush lining, neck support and internal storage compartment are built in; no keys or locks are listed.
How heavy is it?
About 10.9 lbs empty, which is heavier than most gig bags. Plan for that if you carry it far.
When is it cheapest?
Prices for plywood cases tend to dip during back-to-school and holiday sales. Check the price history on this page before buying.
