Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Molded ABS hardshell for acoustic bass guitars, sized to a 49.5-inch instrument. For players who gig or fly and need real impact protection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Regular gigging where a bass rides in a car trunk
- Players whose acoustic bass measures 16.75 inches or less across the lower bout
- Storage in humid or crowded spaces where a gig bag offers nothing
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jumbo or oversized acoustic basses wider than 16.75 inches
- Walking or cycling to gigs — 53 inches of shell is bulky
- Standard acoustic six-strings, which will shift inside the cavity
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
49.50 inch interior length
Total instrument length ceiling, headstock to strap button. Measure your bass end to end before ordering.
Detail 03
16.75 inch lower bout, 12 inch upper bout
The interior cavity is shaped to those widths. A narrower bass rattles; a wider one will not close.
Detail 04
4.25 inch body depth
Fits standard acoustic bass bodies. Deep-body or resonator-style instruments will press against the lid.
Detail 05
53 x 20.25 x 8.25 inch exterior
Check your trunk and back seat. It will not lie flat in a compact car with the seats up.
Detail 06
Offset body shape interior
Contoured to a cutaway acoustic bass outline. A non-cutaway body may sit proud at the upper horn.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your bass end to end and across the lower bout first
- 02Fill any slack with a towel so the instrument cannot shift
- 03Nothing is included beyond the case — no strap, hygrometer or humidifier
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a regular acoustic guitar?
It is cut for acoustic bass dimensions — 49.5 inches long with a 16.75-inch lower bout. A standard acoustic six-string is shorter and will move around inside.
02Is it airline checkable?
The molded ABS shell is the right construction for checked baggage. Confirm size limits with your carrier, since the exterior runs 53 inches long.
03How do I know my bass fits?
Measure overall length, lower bout width and body depth. You need under 49.5 inches, 16.75 inches and 4.25 inches respectively.
04Does it lock?
Latch hardware varies. Treat it as impact protection rather than security, and keep the case with you in public spaces.
