Description
The easiest way to move your double bass.
Whether you’re walking between rehearsals, navigating an orchestra pit, travelling through train stations or simply moving your bass around school or college, the Bass Buggie® has become the transport solution trusted by professional bassists around the world.
Unlike traditional endpin wheels, the Bass Buggie supports the instrument from beneath rather than placing leverage through the endpin and lower block. The result is a stable, smooth-rolling system designed specifically for the safe transport of double basses.
Manufactured in the USA by RC Williams, this is the original Bass Buggie®—not an imitation.

How does the Bass Buggie compare?
Many bassists are familiar with traditional endpin wheels. The Bass Buggie takes a different approach by supporting the instrument from underneath, providing a stable platform for transporting your double bass.
| Conventional Endpin Wheel | RC Williams Bass Buggie® |
|---|---|
| ❌ Supports the bass through the endpin | ✅ Supports the bass from underneath |
| ❌ Greater leverage on the lower block | ✅ Helps reduce stress on the lower block |
| ❌ Can feel less stable on uneven ground | ✅ Stable twin-wheel platform |
| ❌ Smaller wheel | ✅ Large smooth-rolling wheels |
| ❌ May not suit every gig bag | ✅ Works with or without most gig bags |
| ❌ Less support for the lower bout | ✅ Secure support beneath the instrument |
Designed for real musicians
The Bass Buggie is ideal for:
- Professional orchestral players
- Jazz musicians
- Students
- Music colleges
- Schools
- Teachers
- Community orchestras
Once fitted, your bass can be rolled comfortably between venues without carrying its full weight, making long walks and busy concert venues considerably easier.
