phil.mcglassup Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hi All, I'm now the new owner of a Hofner Contemporary Violin Bass and am now looking for a hardcase for it -nothing special, but ideally "shaped" and designed for the bass. The problem I have is that after a lot of searching I have found that there are quite a few different manufacturers and worst of all I've learned that some of the violin basses will not fit properly into some of the hardcases made specifically for them without trimming and fettling of the sponge. Is there a hardcase specifically for the Contemporary Violin Bass? If any of you guys have the same bass which hardcase are you using? I'm only looking for a £60ish version and ideally one that is in stock ready to post!! Any ideas? Any info appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Doesn't say whether it's in stock, but try this?

If not, try a hiscox. It wont be the EXACT shape of your bass like that other one, but I've had one for jazz/precision basses in the past and they're excellent.
