Okay
I've had this bag for a number of years, using it occasionally for travelling with my bas but mostly for storing the bass and keep the dust away from it. The strap button of my bass made a hole in the bag because it kept slipping from the padded part onto the thin part just next to the zipper.
The zipper shoe of the main pocket fell completely apart a few days ago: i never used that pocket much. I hope i can repair it. Next time i'll probably try out another model if not brand.

Best in the price range
Same as the other E bags. Absolutely solid in every aspect for the price. Don’t take on a plane but other than that, great

Beautiful gigbag with more pros than cons
I bought this Gigbag for my main bass and it works fine, sometimes you want something more than the usual black cordura or nylon bag.
One of the most nice things of this bag is the number of straps it has, and also the number of pockets. There are two shoulder straps that you can either choose to use or hide in the back of the bag with two zippers. There is a big strap on the side wich allows you to put it sideways, and a handle on the side to carry it like a suitcase. As for the pockets, there are two "concentric" ones on the front, a big one where I could easily fit my book with parts, my cable and my guitar stand, and a smaller one on the front, where you can put smaller things such as batteries, tape and so on. There is also a long pocket on the neck part.
The inside is nice and soft, it allows your bass to lie comfortably, and there is a nice holder with a velcro strap to keep the neck still while transporting your instrument.
In the end, it is a beautiful gigbag to look at: elegant and with a lot of pros.
If there is a con, is that I found that shoulder straps are weak and tend to break easily: one of them was almost torn apart after one mont, and I don't even go around that much. I had to sew it back in and now it works perfectly, but I guess it is something worth mentioning in a review.
Conclusion: this is a nice gigbag, easy on the eye and works fine, I would buy it again, hoping that shoulder straps hold better next time!

Thomann Gigbag Review
Bought this Gigbag to carry my bass guitars.
For the price, It's really good, I only have 2 things that I don't like about it.
I was really surprised by the quality of the construction of the bag! I couldn't believe it was only 34 euros.
The leather used on this it's really good!
This bag comes with a few extra pockets to store things like strings, tools, cables, a few pedals, the usual stuff, which is great.
Now for the downside:
-It's a bit heavy;
-When the bass is inside the bag it wiggles a bit;
-This bag isn't the most comfortable one;
I'm a short guy, so carrying this around isn't the best thing in the world, but it does the job fairly well.
I have to tight the shoulder straps in order to keep it as stable as possible.
It's a good gigbag, but If I had known about the balance and comfort, I would have Invested in something more comfortable and stable, regardless of price.

Not bad for this price
The bag has room for the user to tuck in the straps when needed, which is super helpful to keep the floor clean and tidy when the bag is put in a room. Room of the bag is big, I can fit a multi effect pedal, a book and a folded leg rest inside.
BUT
The cushion on the straps are not exactly on the right place, so it causes a slight discomfort. Also, the bag comes with a pungent smell, but it gets better after a few days.

Very good, but strips teared off too fast
Good product, with lot of spaces and good protection. The only negative thing is that strips were teared off to fast and i was afraid to put the case on my back.

Insane quality at the price point with one big flaw
Very rugged padding, looks good and feels like a much more expensive bag.
One major issue is the construction of the shoulder straps. The padding starts way down on the strap where it's not really doing anything, while the part that goes over the top of your shoulders where you carry all the weight is just thin nylon strap. Carrying it like that wearing just a T-shirt is torture after a short while.
The side strap is super nice though.
Another minor annoyance is that the big pocket because of it's rounded shape is too short by mere millimetres to house a 15" laptop which at least for me would be extremely useful.
With a few small updates this bag would be perfect.

Decent value-for-money gigbag
This is a pretty good gigbag, all things considered. It feels solid and it has a great storage capacity. Its waterproofing level can be considered adequate. I can say from experience that I've never had any leakages and I live in a place where it literally rains half the year. The side handle and the backpack straps are both great and feel very robust.
The only issue I've has with it, is that if you carry a heavy bass( mine was ~5kg), you should carry the case from the backpack straps or the side handle. When I used the strap that locks on the variable hoops, the hoop on the top on the neck just ripped out after 2 minutes of transportations. That might have been a malfunctioning unit, so I can't say for sure if it's the product's fault.

Nice looks and made in a heavy, rugged material
I have got my Thomann gigbag and it is a nice looking bag. I find it great with the exterior material to avoid moist or rain etc. Inside the material is also great and good to save the laquered finish on a bass neck etc.
However I find the straplock for the neck much too loose to tie my 6-string bass properly down on the secure pad inside. I need to supply with a light piece of a cloth to fill the strap till it gets more tight.
Wonder why they made this thing so loose at the factory, since a 4-string bass will surely sling around in the bag.
The bag will do - the price also considered - but for a premium model, a few improvements are to be made in my opinion.
