Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A hard case for standard 34-inch-scale four-string basses. Buy it if you gig or travel often and a gig bag no longer feels like enough.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Regular gigging with a standard P- or J-style four-string
  • Van and trailer loads where soft bags get crushed
  • Long-term storage where the bass needs to stay protected

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • 35-inch-scale basses — 47 inches of interior runs out
  • Players who walk or bike to gigs; 9.6 pounds empty
  • Bodies wider than 14 inches at any bout

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

47-inch interior length

Fits standard 34-inch-scale basses. Extended-scale or long-headstock instruments run past this, so measure yours end to end.

Detail 02

14-inch bouts top, middle and bottom

The interior is uniformly wide rather than waisted, so offset and non-standard body outlines still drop in.

Detail 03

3.25-inch interior body depth

Leaves room above the body for knobs and a jack plate, so control-heavy basses don't press against the lid.

Detail 04

22-inch interior body length

The body alone must sit inside that. Measure from the end pin to the neck heel, not the whole instrument.

Detail 05

9.6 pounds empty

Adds roughly ten pounds to whatever the bass weighs. Loaded, it's a two-hand carry up stairs.

Detail 06

48.25 x 15.75-inch exterior

Wider and longer than a gig bag. Check trunk, backseat and closet space before it arrives.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your bass end to end and at its widest bout first
  2. 02Loaded weight lands near twenty pounds — plan for stairs and long walks
  3. 03This is the case only; budget stands, straps and strings separately

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit a Fender Precision or Jazz bass?

A standard 34-inch-scale P or J body sits inside the 47-inch interior length and 14-inch bouts. Measure your own, especially if it has an oversized headstock.

02Does it fit a 5-string bass?

A standard-scale five-string body fits the 14-inch bouts, but wider five-string headstocks and 35-inch scales can exceed the 47-inch interior length. Measure before ordering.

03How heavy is it with a bass inside?

The case is 9.6 pounds empty. With a typical bass loaded, expect roughly 19 to 21 pounds total.

04Can I fly with it?

At 48.25 by 15.75 inches it travels as checked baggage, not carry-on. Confirm oversize handling and fees with your airline first.
