giblett123 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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? Ta Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hiscox. Strong as to keep your bass safe...but not unwieldy and not too heavy to carry around when not being transported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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.

hubrad Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Any Hiscox I've seen over any SKB I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 +1 for Hiscox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomed Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 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 ☺. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hiscox all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I like both, though prefer Hiscox, so have a couple of the Fender ones going spare at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hiscox for me - but only because I haven't tried the SKB. I'm sure both have their attributes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
