chardbass Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Can anyone recommend a hard case manufacturer for a 35" bass? (Lakland 55-94) I've been through so many gig bags I'm thinking it might be time for a change or at least to have the option. Quote
ThomBassmonkey Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 The scale is measured from the nut to the bridge, not from end to end so a 36” headless bass might be shorter than a 34" headed bass. With the lakland being a fairly normal shape, I'd expect a normal Fender hard case would fit fine. Quote
Lorne Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Or get Adrenaline cases to build you a flight case Quote
MB1 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 MB1. Warwick do large cases (got one for a Warwick Buzzard JE signature once) Monster! Monster! Monster! Quote
BassBod Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Protec Contego - should fit (look it up first) and fairly cheap (from Thomman) Quote
Gwilym Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 The protec cases are good, but I wouldn't put them in the hold of a plane. The skb44 case I would recommend, if you want a proper hard case. I've used them a couple of times on flights with no problems, and they (and the protec) both fit 35" scales, and 1 of the basses has a fairly large/long headstock too. Quote
chardbass Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 Thanks to all for advice- will check out brands and no doubt pick up some others on the way. Quote
