Description of the Markbass Markworld Bag XS
Comfortable protection for your bass gear
If you’re constantly on the move with your bass world in tow, the light, practical and reliable Markbass Markworld Bag XS becomes that invisible helping hand that saves your energy, streamlines your setup and keeps your gear safe from accidental knocks.
Picture a typical day for a musician or sound engineer. Rehearsal in the morning, a studio session in the evening, maybe even a gig squeezed in between. Your backpack is already full with a laptop, cables and a notebook of ideas, and you’re left carrying a handful of small bits of gear: pedals, a DI, a small amp cabinet, accessories. In the end, half of it is trying to disappear somewhere, while the rest gets scratched, dusty and damp. It’s exactly for days like this that this compact yet well thought-out Markbass accessory was created.
The brand focuses on bass sound and related accessories, so their bags and cases are designed around real working musicians’ needs. It’s not about looking “expensive”, it’s about function: protection, easy carrying and clear organisation of space. At the same time the bag looks neat and professional. You’ll feel equally at home turning up to a club or a studio with it.
You don’t have to be a touring bassist to appreciate the value of a good bag. Even if you’re mostly playing at home, at a rehearsal space or occasionally recording at a friend’s place, decent protection for your gear and order among your accessories will save you money and stress in the long run. Fewer accidental drops, fewer lost leads, less frustration just before you start playing.

- Smooth zip and sturdy handles so you can pack up fast without worrying about breakages

Model overview
The Markbass Markworld Bag XS is a practical carry bag and soft case for the brand’s compact devices and accessories, as well as any similarly sized gear. On Markbass’ official channels, this bag series appears as part of the Markworld system: in other words, it’s not just a random “universal bag”, but a piece of a carefully considered ecosystem, where every device has a convenient way to be transported and stored.
On the outside, a dense, hard-wearing material is used, designed for everyday use. This fabric can cope with constant trips on public transport, being thrown in and out of car boots and rubbing against other hard objects. It keeps its shape well and doesn’t go floppy over time. Importantly, the walls are not only firm but also backed with a soft inner layer. That reduces the risk of damage if, for example, your amp or pedal takes a knock in transit.
The interior has been designed so that a small unit sits snugly in place instead of sliding around. Depending on the exact device, you can add extra soft dividers or sleeves if you like, but in most cases the bag’s own basic protection is more than enough for careful transport. If you’re not only carrying electronics, you can easily add essentials such as a power supply, short leads, adaptors, a tuner.
The zip runs smoothly without snagging, which matters when you’re opening the bag on a dark stage or in a cramped control room. Quality hardware is less likely to fail, which means the bag will last longer. The handles are well judged in length and shape so you can carry them comfortably in one hand alongside other gear.
The looks are also worth mentioning. The trademark Markbass colours and logo are distinctive without being over the top. This is one of those accessories that doesn’t shout for attention, but is instantly recognisable to anyone in the know. In a session or at the rehearsal space, one glance at the bag is enough to tell people that its owner takes their equipment seriously and knows exactly what they’re using.
Who is this bag for?
To start with, it fits perfectly into the life of a bassist who’s constantly shuttling between home, rehearsals and gigs, and wants the Markbass Markworld Bag XS to become a dedicated “home” for a small amp, DI box or pedal-based solution. You can safely pack the unit, throw it in the boot or your main backpack without having to bury it under a pile of clothes hoping it’ll “be fine somehow”.
For beginners, an accessory like this helps build good habits of looking after your gear right from the start. When your equipment and accessories have their own dedicated place from day one, there’s far less chaos before a concert or a music school exam. You’ve got a separate bag with the right bit of kit inside – you simply grab it off the shelf and go.
For self‑taught players and hobbyists who occasionally play at friends’ houses or at small living-room sessions, this bag gives you peace of mind that your compact amp or interface will make it to the end of the evening in one piece.
No more lugging around original cardboard boxes or wrapping your gear in a hoodie. Everything lives in one place and takes up minimal space.
For professional musicians, session players and sound producers, this format is especially useful when you need to bring your own compact amp, preamp, DI or a specific Markbass unit. You arrive at the studio, take out the bag and there’s your familiar instrument sound ready to go, with zero fuss.
For live sound engineers and techs on tour, an accessory like this makes it easy to know exactly where a particular compact unit or adaptor kit is. You can dedicate the bag to a fixed setup: a certain device, a cable, a power adaptor. One look at the bag, and you know the whole chain is already together inside, not scattered across different cases.
If you’re a composer or producer moving between a home studio, a rented room and listening sessions, the bag helps you transport a compact chunk of your setup with care. You can keep a small monitoring amp, its power supply and key accessories inside, so you can quickly set up a functional workspace wherever you are.
