Using this electric bass case is super easy. First, open the case using the TSA - approved strap closure. Gently place your electric bass guitar inside. If you have a standard gig bag like the SKB 1SKB - GB44, you can put the guitar in the gig bag first and then place it in the case. When you're traveling, use the ergonomic handle and built - in wheels to move the case around. For airport security checks, don't worry. The TSA - recognized strap closure allows for quick and secure inspections. As for maintenance, keep the case clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or sharp objects that could damage the rotomolded exterior. If you notice any issues with the strap closure or wheels, contact SKB for support.
