Acoustic Bass Case

[philw]

All,

Anybody have experience of hard cases for acoustic basses? I need to find a good, sturdy (and inexpensive) one so I can ship my Veillette acoustic. Any recommendations?

I just had a basic Stagg type one from my local shop and it offered plenty of protection. if I still had the bass I wouldn't hesitate to ship in one of those

+1 me too although it was a not very nice light grey colour!

Hi Phil

My Brook came in a [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/kinsman.html"]Kinsman[/url] case from JHS. It does the job. Looks like they're around £55 online.

Why do you need to ship your bass? Is it damaged?

Cheers

Gareth,

No, not damaged, it's still as gorgeous as ever. Trouble is, I've been made a tentative offer for it that I can't really refuse and, although I dearly want to keep hold of it, needs must. At least I have a Paris on the way in a month or two.

Phil

PS. Thanks all for the suggestions.

Wow, I would say I'm surprised, but as I'm selling my Brook I can't really!

Is it staying in the UK or going overseas?

I used to use an adapted keyboard case with foam cut to the shape of the guitar - worked a treat! might be worth a try.

I've been hunting around for cases recently - cheapest I have found have been at Thomann - seen some on eBay which eventually went for more than Thomann charge for brand new ones inc P&P..
