Old Horse Murphy Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) I am selling a Fender black tolex bass case that came with my 64 reissue Custom Shop Fender Jazz. It is in perfect condition and is completely faithful to the original Fender cases from the 60's. All the lokcs work and I have the key too! Thomann and various other music outlets are selling these for £130+, but as mine is gathering dust under the spare bed and I have no intention of using it, I'm letting it go for £100 plus £10 P&P. Photos attached. Thanks for looking Edited November 15, 2008 by Old Horse Murphy
Clarky Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Swap you for an Aphex compressor? But seriously Nick, what are you keeping your Jazz in now? One of the new Fender SKB cases?

I want to buy either another Hiscox or SKB case for when I take the basses gigging Clarky. As much as I rate the Warwick gig bags, I feel far more comfortable with a decent hardshell case. For my hamfistedness, the Fender case is way too nice to use.
Shaggy Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 These are the Rolls Royce (or more properly; Cadillac Eldorado) of cases and bloomin great – I’ve got two. Agreed, a new one like this you’d almost hate to take gigging, but the one for my Gibson is always gigged as it’s the only case that’ll fit it - and still going strong after 30 years, nicely mojo'd. (+1000 for Hiscox though!) Bump for a lovely case at a great price - for a cherished old Fender, there’s absolutely nothing better, and would also make it a far more attractive deal if ultimately selling

Far more eloquently put than my efforts!!
99ster Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I use one of these for my '62 Precision (so I can save the valuable original case from getting any wear & tear) - they are made to a really high standard, basically they're the 'mutts nuts' of hard cases! Have a bump for a great bit of kit!
