Road RunnerRRMBG ABS Molded Bass Guitar Case
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Molded ABS case for offset-body electric basses. For bass players who need real impact protection without a wood case's weight.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Standard offset-body electric basses up to 13 inches across
- Gigging players loading in and out several nights a week
- Anyone who wants a rinse-off shell instead of a fabric exterior
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Wide-body, semi-hollow or extended-body basses over 13 inches
- Upright, acoustic bass guitars, or five-string models with oversized headstocks
- Players who want pockets and shoulder straps — this is a rigid case
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
Offset body shape
The cavity is cut for the classic offset bass outline. Symmetrical or radically shaped bodies will not seat correctly.
Detail 03
13-1/3 inch bout width, upper and lower
Both bouts are cut the same. Measure your bass at its widest point; anything over this will not close.
Detail 04
51.25 inch length
Sized for full-scale basses. It is long enough that trunk and back-seat clearance is worth checking.
Detail 05
5.5 inch depth
Tight to a solid-body bass. Chambered or semi-hollow instruments run deeper and will not fit.
Detail 06
D neck channel
The neck cradle is shaped for a rounded neck back, which supports the neck rather than letting it float.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your bass at its widest bout and check headstock length before ordering
- 02Molded cases fit one body outline — an odd-shaped bass will rock inside
- 03Loosen strings slightly for long storage so the neck is not held under load
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a five-string bass fit?
If the body stays within 13-1/3 inches and the headstock is standard length, yes. Wider five-string headstocks are the usual problem.
02Does it fit a short-scale bass?
It closes at 51.25 inches long, but a short-scale instrument will sit loose inside. Pack the empty space so it cannot shift.
03ABS molded or wood — which should I get?
ABS is lighter, weather-resistant and absorbs impact. Wood is stiffer and quieter but heavier. For frequent load-ins, ABS.
04Can it hold an acoustic bass guitar?
No. At 5.5 inches deep and cut to a solid-body outline, it is too shallow and the wrong shape.
