Hard cases

[giblett123]

Morning all!

Quick question...

For my sins and as a favour I'm off trolleying round europe playing for a few weeks and need to get myself a decent hard case, I don't really want my Sandberg VM5 flying around the back of a van in the cheapo bags the come with... does anyone have any suggestions?

Hiscox. Strong as to keep your bass safe...but not unwieldy and not too heavy to carry around when not being transported.

I like Hiscox cases. I stood on mine with the bass inside to prove a point once - I weigh around 100kg +/- Probably a bit + as I am still wearing my winter coat

But for Fender shaped basses I actually prefer the SKB shaped case. The inside is fitted, so absolutely no jiggling about, and the latches are easier to operate.

Any Hiscox I've seen over any SKB I've seen.

+1 for Hiscox.

[doomed]

I have both, either will do the job both good strong cases, SKB was a good price on Amazon when I got it, Hiscox is British built though ☺.

Hiscox all the way.

I have both a Hiscox and a Fender-branded SKB. The SKB has plenty room for strap, spare strings, jack lead etc, and all the catches are protected by plastic flanges. The Hiscox loses out on both those aspects.

Both cases are about as bomb-proof as a plastic case can be.

I like both, though prefer Hiscox, so have a couple of the Fender ones going spare at present.

Hiscox for me - but only because I haven't tried the SKB. I'm sure both have their attributes.
