    It's a ventilation hole to let out all the GAS that Bongos generate.

    lol That's great The X is actully a cross stitch, a Support for the center Lining Padding that supports the bass from inside.
    These bags I've been using since the 70's when He built them for Reuion Blues and flown all over the USA & Canada and to this day Have never had an Issue with Damaged Basses.
