Herbie The Rad Dorklift Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm looking at these two: [url="http://www.dv247.com/cases/skb-1-skb-fb4-shaped-standard-bass-case--42256"]SKB[/url] [url="http://www.dv247.com/cases/hiscox-std-ebs-electric-bass-guitar-case--25567"]Hiscox[/url] Ideally, I'd like one of those fancy tweed looking ones (Like the Fender), but they aren't molded to fit the bass. Wouldn't it move around? How are these compared to the Fender ones: [url="http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/music/typeproducts2.asp?id=6297-3980&ref=base"]Tweed case[/url] Many thanks.

wateroftyne Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 No experience of the SKB, but lots of experience of the Hiscox. And it's mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 another vote for the hiscox from me, i've got one for almost every guitar and bass i own, strength was proven to me when the guy inthe shop stood on it with my guitar was in it (before i'd even paid for it!) and there's one for sale on here at the moment!

lozbass Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I use Hiscox cases most of the time - lightweight and very strong. You may be able to do better that £75 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 If its one of those two you want, I vote Hiscox. I do, however, use one of these for my jazz and its also ace: [url="http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/search.php?fuzzy=0&query=1SKB-SC44"]http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/sea...query=1SKB-SC44[/url] The shoulder straps are extremely handy.

Herbie The Rad Dorklift Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 I've messaged the guy about the Hiscox, no reply as of yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I`ve had many different types of cases, SKB, Fender, Gibson, un-named etc, but the ones that I think are the best are Hiscox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblin Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Got a Hiscox - love it. Bomb proof and also versatile, it fits every bass I've got which is always a good sign For £40 you can have my Stagg ABS case. My Jazz moved around a bit in it, but foam harmlessly holds it in place, and Fenders may fit differently to Tokais Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'll be using my hiscox on Sunday so you can have a look in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Another Hiscox fan. I weigh 100kg +/- and have stood on mine [i]with the bass inside[/i] to demonstrate the point of how tough they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie The Rad Dorklift Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hiscox arrived this morning from Reidy's. Top service and overnight delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
