Description

Ibanez produced the IABB540BK as a Powerpad gig bag designed specifically for acoustic bass guitars, finished in black. It sat in the Ibanez accessory line as a protective carry solution for full-scale acoustic bass instruments, distinguished from standard acoustic guitar bags by its extended interior dimensions.

The bag featured a synthetic leather covering over the durable bottom and side sections, reinforced by Ibanez's Powerpad cushioning system. Firm edge cushioning measured 25mm at the bottom and 15mm at the sides. A smart zipper design allowed for quick and safe instrument removal. Additional exterior pockets provided storage space, and integrated backpack straps allowed hands-free transport. The bag weighed 1.786kg empty, with an exterior length of 1225mm and an interior overall length of 1200mm, accommodating instruments up to 130mm in interior depth.

Owners seeking replacement zippers, hardware, or strap components compatible with this bag should consult a qualified guitar technician or luggage repair specialist, as fit will depend on the specific hardware dimensions of the original bag.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
