Sells separately for $39.99





Fender has taken the time to design an affordable yet durable gig bag for your bass. It features an outer layer made from 600-denier polyester that shields against the grind of loading your instrument in and out among other gear.

The inner shell of the FB610 consists of a 10mm padding with soft-touch velour that won't scratch or nick the surface finish of your bass. A 2-piece handle for quick access in and out of your touring vehicle or trailer means you get to the stage fast. If you need to make the long walk, the FB610 also offers ergonomic air-mesh backpack straps with easily adjustable ladder-lock buckles. The front pocket is great for accessories and features an ID tag holder and smaller fixed pocket for instrument tools. With its combination of quality and affordability, the FB610 is a popular choice among Sweetwater's community of bass players.
