Classic Double Bass Cover - Maroon. What advantages does the Classic Cover have? Why do the pro's like it? Weight: We'd describe this cover as being of medium weight. Fully-lined with 15mm of velvet-covered foam - it provides great protection from bumps and knocks. Fabric: Designed and made here in the UK - the manufactures have used a supple, shower-proof material that is impeccably stitched at all the seams. Zips: Putting the cover on and taking it off again is incredibly quick and easy - because the cover is fitted with two heavy-duty two-way zips that both start from the endpin hole. A full-length zip goes up the bass side of the instrument - to the scroll top. A quarter-length zip extends up the treble side of the instrument up to the top of the lower bout. When you're late for rehearsal - as we all are on occasion -these covers are a real lifesaver. Life Expectancy: Because these covers are so well made their life expectancy is extremely long. We've known pro's to purchase one of these cases and use it right throughout their career. Pockets: All pockets are opened and closed by heavy-duty zips. In the front there is a large accessory pocket. In the lower-back there is a full width music pocket. Handles: There are two "pairs" of "material-type" handles attached to the front and rear side seams of the cover by strong stitching. For ease of carrying they are located perfectly in the middle of the centre-bouts. Accessories: There is a fully adjustable carrying strap made from strong lightweight webbing. The shoulder piece is amply padded. The colour is black. To complete the package there is a 78cm long velvet bow slip to protect your favourite French or German bow. Summary: A good looking, well made medium-weight cover in two colours and four sizes that will give just the right amount of protection. Definitely a cover of distinction. We like the fact that it is made to last and last and last. Colours: Maroon or Black. Sizes: Now available in four sizes - 3/4, 7/8, 4/4 and with 5/4 size available to order - The Classic Cover is a generous cover in every respect. Please note that the newly introduced 7/8 size replaces what was the old 4/4 size. Size Stats: We reckon that the easiest way to work out what size cover is perfect for your instrument is to measure the Length of its Back (LOB). To find out what this figure is - measure in centimetres from the base of the back button to the lowest extremity (mid-point of the bottom edge) of the back. We'd consider that a "perfect" fit would be one that did not cause the stretching of the material or stress placement on the seams or zips. 3/4 Size: Perfect for French "Lamy" or "Jacquet" type instruments and smallish Germanic instruments of violin or viol outline, with either flat or swell back. Please note that the 3/4 size cover is not suitable for instruments with a lower-rib depth (including the plates) greater than 22cm or with an upper-bout (across table) width greater than 53cm (e.g. Hawkes or large-shouldered Lamy or German instruments).

with deep ribs:
7/8 size: Perfect for all Classic English instruments with a rib-depth of up to 22cm and full width upper (up to 53cm) and lower bouts (up to 70cm). The 7/8 size is a comfortably-loose fit for Hawkes Professor, Concert and Panormo instruments with a LOB between 112cm -113cm. Large Italian, French-Lamy and German instruments that are violin or viol shaped, flat or swell backed - even those equipped with a mechanical or "finger" extension - fit in easily too. Comfortably-Loose Fit: Perfect-Fit:
4/4 size: Instruments that require this cover will have at least one depth or width measurement that is above the average size for a Classic English instrument. The average sizes are: Please note that the following LOB measurements given for the 4/4 size are the same as those for the 7/8 size. How the cover fits will depend on the width and depth stats specific to your instrument. Comfortably-Loose Fit:
