gigbag

Soft instrument case

A gigbag is a soft, padded case for carrying a musical instrument, typically a guitar or bass.

Unlike hard cases, gigbags are lightweight and often include backpack-style straps and pockets for accessories: I threw my guitar in the gigbag and headed to practice.

The name reflects their use by working musicians traveling between gigs.
