philw Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 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? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited October 29, 2010 by philw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyboy Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 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..
