The Access Stage Four Bass Bag is well made and protects my bass quite well. All sides are rigid and the inside is well padded. It's a couple inches longer than a Stanley Clarke, but the alternatives were too snug. I carved a piece of 2" polyethylene (PE) foam using sharp kitchen knives to fit the neck carves. Wedged into the case, it keeps the instrument from sliding around. It's covered with common velvet from the local craft store which is stuck onto the PE with spray adhesive. I let it stink up the garage for a few days before deployment. I also put a wee bit of shim under the neck pad to raise the head - easy. It's not as svelte as a case from Serek, but the protection is far better. And, it fits in my car!
