Hello,
does a producer of trombone cases make a case for 2 bass trombones? I was looking around and didn‘t find any.

I can fit 2 bass trombone in my Cronkhite large double gig bag.

There’s a version of the TANK for Bass and Lg. Tenor listed at Hickey’s …..(Flight case - Tank M1-T2B)
Don’t know if that could work for you. If not, maybe Tank can do a larger double case?

I bet you could convince Marcus Bonna to make one for you but it would take a long time to get it and probably be pretty costly.

I’d say the Cronkite is pretty padded though. I have one and it’s a good bag. Check out the review of their double bags at Schmitt music: https://youtu.be/AaZEVYiP_1s

Along the lines of a Tank, but cheaper and more labor intensive, SKB, Pelican, etc have cases that would probably work for two basses. Unless you need to check them in a plane often, safari with them, or intend to take them with you in your next Dakar Rally campaign though, I'd lean heavily towards something like the Cronkite bag for daily use.
Fwiw, this is coming from someone who regularly has to drag around a Pelican Storm case with multiple trombones in it.

Well, I mostly would use it to carry 2 bass trombone bell sections and 1 handslide fitting both together. Would be handy to carry 2 possibilities to play.

The Gewa should work. My bass has an odd wrap that takes extra space and there is room for more with the 547 Edwards on the other side.

I also got the Gewa beginning of the year. Quite happy with it, but until now only tried it with bass and large tenor. Could try with two basses if this is interesting for you (Greenhoe and Conn 112h).
I do not own a Cronkhite double, but a Cronkhite alto and Reunion Blues tenor and bass bags.
Still generally speaking:
- Gewa might be a little more protective as the material is more rigid, but of course still not a case. Cronkhite in leather might feel more rigid than the Cordura ones I have
- Slides are quite well protected on both Gewa and Cronkhite-style
- Both in my opinion benefit from adding some extra padding, which can be e.g. a backup shirt, softone mutes, maybe a soft cone or small practice mute in the bell
- With both I would obviously still be quite careful e.g. not to put anything heavy on top etc.
- Cronkhite double might be a bit lighter (only a guess obviously), but both are certainly heavy to carry around
- Cronkhite is probably a bit more elegant, but also substantially more expensive
I did consider buying a Cronkhite, but due to price and availability the Gewa seemed to be the much better choice.

Is it possible for anyone to upload pictures of the bags layout? I've been curious about these for a while but have found little to no info on its actual design.

Since you're looking for something harder, you may also wish to consider a golf club carrier that you can put a gig bag into. I had one awhile ago that I couldn't fit in my apartment that I kind of kick myself for selling. It could fit a double cronkhite bag no problem and they can usually take a pretty significant beating. With the horns in the chronkhite or similarly well padded gig bag, you would have to try pretty hard to damage your instruments with that setup...
