Mama Hong Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ah I've seen these but not close up. Do you think it would be safe on a flight in this case. The airline have just totaled my first bass. I have to replace it and take proper precautions. Cheers Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrkelly Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Those polystyrene cases are fine for traveling in the back of a van but there's no way I'd put my bass on a plane in one. If you absolutely must fly with you bass put it in a Stevenson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use a Stevenson all the time to fly but with security the way it is now it's a nightmare.... avoid avoid avoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassInMyFace Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 couldnt believe it when i checked thomann and they are over a grand! its a box with wheels!! obviously its money well spent if your bass is worth a packet, however i think i would still wince at paying a grand.

Mama Hong Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Thanks guys, Checked out the stevensons, very expensive but obviously worth it to protect your instrument. Has anyone had any experience of the german made flight cases on ebay. There £729 less than half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 You could look into a [url="http://foldingbass.com"]Chadwick Folding bass[/url]. Still pricey but easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
