Detail 01
Hardshell construction
Rigid shell resists crushing and impact. The tradeoff is weight and bulk versus a padded gig bag.

IbanezAFB100C Hardshell Case for AFB Artcore Bass Guitars Black
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hardshell case built for Ibanez AFB Artcore basses. Buy it if you own that specific body shape and need real transit protection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Owners of Ibanez AFB Artcore hollowbody basses
- Flying, touring, or checking an instrument as baggage
- Long-term storage where a gig bag won't hold shape
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Solidbody bass owners — the interior won't fit the shape
- Players wanting something light to carry on foot or bike
- Anyone who just needs cheap dust protection at home
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 02
Model-specific fit (AFB Artcore)
Interior is shaped for that body outline. A different bass either won't close or will shift inside.
Detail 03
Black exterior
Hides scuffs from baggage handling better than lighter colors, but heats up fast in a closed car or trunk.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your bass against the AFB body shape before ordering — fit is model-specific
- 02No shoulder straps; expect to carry it by the handle
- 03Hardshell cases are heavy and awkward on public transit or stairs
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my other Ibanez bass?
Only if it shares the AFB Artcore body outline. This case is cut for that shape, not for solidbody basses like the SR or GSR lines.
02Is this safe for airline checked baggage?
A hardshell is the right starting point for checked travel. Loosen string tension and pack cloth around the headstock before checking it.
03Does it have a strap or backpack option?
No. It's a handle-carry hardshell case.
04Is it worth this much versus a gig bag?
If the bass gets transported, yes — impact protection is the difference. If it stays home on a stand, a gig bag covers you for less.
