talkinganimals Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Hey, I recently picked up one of these basses (the 5 string V7) and I'm really happy with it, but I just have it in an old soft bag which I'm a little nervous about throwing in the back of a van. I was wondering if anyone else has this bass and has found a good hardcase that fits it well? Any advice appreciated. Cheers, Jonathan Quote
M@23 Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 I don't have one, but before all the Hiscox recommendations come in (and rightly so) try find one to try for size before buying. They're a fraction too short for two different 5 string jazzes I've tried. I like the Gator GPE TSA too. Quote
goblin Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 If it helps, my mate runs a Marcus Miller V7, and I loaned him my standard Hiscox and I believe it fit absolutely fine. When it's got my Jazz Elite V in, I have about 1cm of head room there. Quote
talkinganimals Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 Thanks both I'll try and get hold of one of these to test out! Quote
M@23 Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 I've just ordered the Gator GPE, not expecting it to be as solid as the Hiscox, but will hopefully do a job. Quote
M@23 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I'm updating this for future reference, in case anyone is doing their homework .. The Gator case is awful. It's the flimsiest excuse for a hardcase I've ever seen. It's actually kind of funny that they put a TSA lock on there! Quote

I have a similar dilemma with my Sire v7 5 string... I want yo fly with it in the hold tho... hiscox large bass looks possible... I'm also thinking SKB but haven't really got the money for the 270£ one which gets a lot of praise... Quote
