Dean Acoustic Bass Guitar Case For Sale (Jan 2023 Update)

This gig bag is a great value for the price. Good padding, although you'll still want to use some care when tossing it in the van! There's room to add extra padding inside, like a large towel or small blanket. Large storage pockets and the Velcro strap for securing the neck is a nice feature. Unique color as well.Jack P.

Great gig bag – fits a wide-bottomed acoustic base (17-inches) and has a long enough neck as well. High quality fabric, terrific straps and handles. I like the color (some have said they don't) because it matches my Taylor guitar gig bag. It's a little more than I was hoping to spend, but it checks all the quality/convertibility boxes for me.Daren

This case has a well-thought design and perfectly fits my acoustic bass guitar. I love the Velcro on the inside for neck support, the backpack straps, and handles in multiple areas. The handles are really nice and comfortable to hold. You can detach the backpack straps and reattach them onto the side, or put them away. I really recommend this case.Irina

Good quality case but it was too big for the Dean Exotica Supreme Cutaway Acoustic Electric Bass that I purchased from another company which came in defective so I had to return it. Now I have this huge case on hand that I do not need anymore. I decided to return it but Musician's Friend does not have free returns. It was almost the same price to send it back and the price of the guitar. I'm sure they an account with UPS and mail items at a discounted rate. I would have gladly paid whatever their rate would have been to return the item. Don't get me wrong..I love Musician's Friend and I've ordered multiple items…but in this situation with no free returns, u guys are disappointing…with this acoustic bass case on hand I ended up ordering the acoustic bass that fit this case…Alex

So I've had this case for about 3 years. I originally got it to take my bass with me to Germany for the summer, and a gig bag would not suffice. In the span of a few months, it was dropped multiple times, was closed in several bus doors, tossed around the cargo hold of a plane (managed by Delta), and even broke my fall as I slid down a flight of stairs. Through all of this, my bass was unscathed. The case itself has two scratches, but is otherwise fine. This is a top notch case, and can handle a lot. Definitely a must buy for any of the dean acoustic basses.Fenderbassman95

I did a lot of research to find a case that would fit the Dean EABC 5-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Bass Regular. It's very specific, oversize shape makes finding a hard case almost impossible. The soft case available is of poor quality and the zipper tore out after a short time. It was difficult to get a definitive answer online, but this case, does, in fact, fir the bass perfectly. It's unfortunate, IMHO, that it doesn't come in black, given to whom the consumers to whom the product is being marketed. The color is pretty ugly, and when I get around to it, I plan on dying the case black. Its kind of an orange brown. I'm guessing liquid or spray leather dye will work on it, despite the case not being leather. All in all, it's a great value to protect your bass.Oman

The case is looks and functions perfectly. I have 2 ml's and both guitars fit no problem. I will say one is a way tighter fit then the other. My only complaint would be that the guitar does not sit flat and flush. The neck cradle holds the guitar at a incline. This does not seem to effect the way the case works or holds guitar, just something I noticed.When in doubt.. Wammy it out

My Peace Sells VMNT fits very snug – there is no movement and there is an "indent" in the middle of the V to help get the body out. Nice, big storage compartment to fit my big leather strap and probably a couple of pedals. BUT, the interior velour is loose and wrinkled in places, the outside has glue all over, there are loose threads and tattered edges like someone needs to sharpen their scissors, the metal "edges" aren't fitted properly, the lid doesn't meet the bottom square at all, and the hardboard (not plywood) has chunks of something that should have been removed before the vinyl was glued over. I waited 6 months for this case direct from Dean, and it looks like it was time to go home from the factory when it was made by the new guy. I don't think Dave Mustaine would be too happy putting his name on this case, although I don't see his name anywhere. I paid less for an aluminum flightcase, and expected MUCH better quality to protect my beloved axe. This isn't MF's fault, just want to warn others. I hope I just got the bad one and the others are fine. 🙁Sid Malicious

I bought this for an Epiphone Korina V after seeing a review that said it was a perfect fit. I was concerned when it arrived as it looked like it may be too small. Boy, was I wrong! It is an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FIT. I didn't like the shape of the Epiphone case – I wanted more protection around the neck. This case may be heavy as an iron casket and as cumbersome as an aircraft carrier but it provides the best possible protection this side of an Anvil flight case. Not only does it provide greater protection than the Epiphone case, it costs about the same. (I got lucky and found a "Condition 2" blemished model for 20% less and all it had was a scuff the size of a nickel. My case didn't have any flaws in terms of construction like another reviewer experienced with the cases he bought.Les Paul Disciple

Purchased this case for my Fender Precision Bass. Mostly, will be kept in my studio, and occasionally on a few short gigs. Case seems sturdy, and I like the compartment size suitable for a strap, cable, etc. Also features a locking latch which is very handy. Pricewise, its a very nice case for my needs, without going into more expensive flight cases for touring. Very satisfied and should last for quite a while. Would buy this product again. Cheers!penlan-6941-us

Decent case for the money. Dimensions are a little off from whats advertised. Lower bout width is around 13-1/4 instead of 13-1/2 so my BC Rich Eagle fits a little snug. Overall, no more than I use it, itll work. Sure beats paying $300 for the actual BC Rich case. Also, if your headpiece sets at a steeper angle, it will put pressure on the headpiece. Depth is more for a Fender style headpiece.xv1700at3

Nice hard case. Had to get one cause soft bag wasn't good enough for guitar. This 2017-2018 "Black Stratacastor" knockoff version is all I need to learn how to play like the Rock Gods I admire.

The Fender Jumbo Acoustic Case is pretty amazing considering it was $69! Lid and latch alignment are spot on. Interior is plush, clean and padded in the right spots. Outside there is slight tolex separation at side seam and slight glue exposure along bottom edge seam but, overall very clean tight workmanship. It fits my Yamaha jumbo very well. Plenty durable for my purposes – going from the house to the car.yawnotec

Purchased Fender's T-bucket Bass a few months ago, but the store didn't have the case. They had to order and the price with shipping was outrageous for me to buy. last week saw the cost of the case with free shipping and to me,from MusiciansFriend. Purchased and a deal that made sense. I have quite a few guitars and they all have cases, Hard Shell. This hard shell case is the perfect fit for my T-Bucket Bass. I can't see owning a guitar without a case.(I don"t even play out anymore), but they are protected. Thank You MusciansFriend.Bassbull

This case was not what I thought it would be. I have other Dean cases that are nice but this one was what I expected. It really is the plain jane case There are others like this in the price range that are much nicer.rfree

This is a nice case, I would recommend to any one, far as I can tell i would say will serve the purpose of any acoustic guitar. Very attractive looking well cushioned to protect your guitar, i feel it should meet your needs and price was very good, people there at American Music are very professional people and very kind!Gary

It's a very well-built hard case has quality Hardware the inside is very soft and secure for my Bass guitar and the price was excellent for mebar_jh_x7iudd

The dimensions specified are the outside values. The inside dimensions were too small for my guitar, so I had to return the case.KenB

It is a really nice bass gig bag. I needed one for my starfire bass. Not a perfect fit as it is not strictly made for for that place. However it will work just fine for me.emoterply

I ordered 2 ChromCast Padded Gig Bags for my Telecaster and LesPaul guitars. The build quality of ChromCast products is consistently excellent, made with heavy duty material and zipper. The bottom of the bag has a rubber bumper which adds protection to the instrument. Some other brands don?t have this feature. Inside the bag, the padding is thick enough to absorb shock while the lining material is smooth and soft as silk for your precious guitar. It also has a Velcro strap to hold down the neck. There are also thick lining materials for the headstock and bridge location to protect it from getting torn by the sharp ends of the strings or bridge screws. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this product Thank you Adorama for giving us great products to choose from and top notch after sales service support.NOEL

My kids (ages 9 and 11) got guitars as gifts a year ago. They have been taking beginner guitar lessons for a year now. The guitars originally came with very thin guitar bags with no padding. After a year of taking these guitars to and from lessons, the other bags were tearing apart. So I wanted to get replacement bags for them, but I don't have a lot of knowledge about guitars. So we found these bags and wanted to give them a try. We have had two of these bags for three weeks now and both of my kids LOVE these bags. They are padded, well made bags that have 6 pockets. They have two sets of carry handles and backpack style straps. These bags meet our needs for a beginning guitar player who takes their guitars to lessons each week. Plenty of room for beginner kid sized acoustic guitars and the pockets are great for storing tuners, capos, picks, music and they still have storage pockets that they haven't used yet. Other reviewers talk about how good these bags are for experienced players, but I wanted to give the perspective of how handy these bags are for kids who are beginning guitar players.aandjshop

Great starter bag, would recommend to anyone getting a beginner going on an acoustic. I bought this bag for a Fender Squire acoustic and it fits perfectly! The padding is good, but you will still need to handle the guitar carefully when in the bag. The straps are nice and the bag its self is well made with great pockets and handles. I would buy a hard case if kids are intendinf on traveling with it. The strap is pretty basic, and is cheaply made but will hold up fine for the introductory period until we decide to upgrade. Picks are a nice, smaller size and a really nice assortment of colors.Megan

I read several reviews before purchasing, so I wasn't expecting perfection. I like the unique tweed-like look, and the fact that it matches my blonde Alvarez guitar. The case is kind of a ten-footer, though. It looks classy standing in the corner, but close inspection reveals that the lid doesn't line up perfectly, the storage compartment door "hinge" is just the fuzzy clothing lining, and the faux tweed cover has bubbles and a line or two where it was hastily slapped onto the adhesive coat beneath. The inner and outer cover stitching misses a spot here and there, but not enough to worry about. Again, not unreasonable at the price point. The only thing I'm really slightly disappointed with is that it doesn't fit my new Alvarez Jumbo guitar like a glove – more like a generic case with gaps and wriggle room here and there. Heck, I bought a Chromacast for my Alvarez dread and it fit like they were made for each other. I'm not sure why several people complain about a smell. Those folks would probably be offended by new-car-smell too.Rob

While this case will technically fit an AF80CE-12, it will also fit any banjo, ukulele, or violin. This Alvarez jumbo 12-string moves around excessively inside of this JC1 case (J for jumbo). There is probably about 1/2 inch of open space around the guitar side when it is flush up against the other side, but that is not the big issue. There is about an inch of lateral movement (headstock to bottom strap button) within the case. At one extreme, the headstock is touching the end of the case and will bear the brunt of any fall. (See attached pictures.) But – it is a good looking case!Rockriver

I bought this to hold my new practice guitar. It is just what I wanted and thought I was getting. It looks good because I like the tweek-like look and the sculpted, arched look as opposed to a flat, thin cardboard look. I has decent clasps that close with only a little pushing to get them aligned. The lining is decent and doesn't have any strong smells. It has all the features I like, like four clasps as opposed to three or five, Feet bumpers on the back and the side to protect the fabric. A good size storage bin and best of all, extra room at the headstock so I can leave my Snark tuner on the headstock when I case my guitar. Awesome. The case is not constructed with precision. The alignment is decent, but not precise. The liner fits the case, but is high on some areas and slightly low on others. Fortunately there are no gaps or unglued spots, so for an economy case I am pleased. Another perk for me, is the Alvarez badge on the outside that matches the guitar. I am pleased.Whitehouse Willie

I searched for quite a while to find a case which would fit my Takamine Tb-10 acoustic bass. This is the only case which provided measurements which seemed to fit the bill, In actuality, it was the ONLY case online that provided specs, interior and exterior. so I took the plunge. The case seems fairly well constructed, but it is made of Styrofoam , not foam "rubber". This probably was a blessing in disguise, because I had to modify it a bit to accept the bass comfortably. The "fur" cloth interior was fairly easily cut, so I could access the styro, and cut a bit away so that the headstock tuning gears could fit comfortably without detuning the instrument. A bit of rubber cement, and "oila" , a good fit. Also had to cut a bit away from the neckrest section, so the bass could be seated lower in the case, as it has a high doublebass-type bridge. All in all with a few simple mods, I was able to get a good fit, and I did not have to pay 2 or 3 times as much to get a custom built gigbag, The Takamine is a Hefty beast, and she destroyed a Levy's top-o the-line Acoustic bass gigbag that I possessed for several years. A very girthy bass, that Takamine.. I haven't had the opportunity to gig with the case yet as I have only had it a few days. One thing I dislike is that the shoulder straps are situated in such a manner that the bass neck rises at least 16 inches above my head, which is not that great at I live in NYC,am 6'2", and there is little clearance in subway trains. But I suppose I can have the straps re- sewn to fit my requirements. Another construction aspect that seems rather ill-conceived is the fact that the sturdy Nylon(or whatever other synthetic) cloth, does not cover the entire expanse of the case, as there is an open seam on the underside where the case opens out in clamshell fashion. Seems like it would allow moisture or grit to enter the case at this join. I don't know why the case is not entirely enclosed, must be cheaper to manufacture that way. I don't know if this might be problametic in terms of protecting the instrument, and hope not to find out the hard way. I suppose I could modify this aspect as well, but what on earth was the manufacturer thinking? When you have an instrument worth several thousand dollars, one would think that the case it inhabits should not allow any degree of moisture or debris to come in contact with it. The jury is still out on this gripe: only time will teel if this aspect of design proves to be problematic. , all in all , not ideal, but a workable way to get badly-needed coverage for my unusually large instrument, without having to pay in excess of $250.Reggie

It's adequate. Not really bad. but not really that good. It provides minimal protection like most gig bags but it has some large and very spacious external pockets. Personally I would recommend spending a few more dollars and getting the World Tour Deluxe Gig Bag. The padding is much more substantial and the zippers are of a higher quality. Summary: For $20 it ain't bad. Visually the giant American flag graphic is really cool.shellback1995

Terrible waste of money and time. Weak and flimsy construction. It is the worse case I have ever seen, and I have been playing 29 years and have seen a lot of cases. When closed and latched the case was crooked and would not lay flat on the floor. You could stand it on end and twist it back and forth which I've never seen a another case do. It is just really flimsy and would not protect my bass from anything except maybe dust. I returned it. Never buying Gator again as this is my second Gator case that was returned. None, I have no idea how this passed inspection.Josh-xld-z

I bought this case for my vintage Gibson EB-0. Since the bass is short scale I tried very hard to find a good quality case with a neck support in the middle, since the bass would not fit in most molded style cases. This was my first purchase from Gator case and I am very happy with it. The quality is better than most cases out there, It has good padding, the lining is very soft and my bass fits well. The case is very balanced as well, it's easy to carry and sits upright on it's own with out falling over like a lot of cases I have had experience with.Anonymous-Ov4.E

I bought this case here about a year ago. It's a decent enough case and I like the looks, but it's not real sturdy and not worth the cost. My biggest complaint is that after only a few months, the saddle the neck rests in failed. It's like a foam bar with a u-shaped depression for the neck, and the weight of the bass pushing against the foam when being carried or sitting with the handle up caused the foam to deform, and now when I put the bass in, close the lid and flip the case up to pick it up by the handle, the bass rotates in the case allowing the headstock to fall to the bottom. I guess it's okay except for that, but it is a little pricey for the quality you get. I wish I had spent another 20 bucks and bought the Fender SKB case. My USA jazz came with one of those and it's a far superior item. Now I'm thinking about buying another Fender case to replace the Gator, which makes buying it a waste of money.thumpin420

Its a great case but too small to fit an original Gibson Thunderbird/Epiphone 60s reissue with the chrome pickups. It fits perfectly for the Gibson/Epiphone Thunderbird with the black pickupsandreswif-54
