Plus not sure my bass would fit!

My bass is a singlecut though, so wouldn't fit in that. Edited June 15, 2017 by walbassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 I've never seen a Hiscox with a proper padded interior: they all seem to be a semi-rigid foam with a crushed velvet like fabric, augmented with upholstered pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="https://flic.kr/p/VPaE3K"][/url] [/quote] I have. If only they were 2cm longer. I bought a Gator GPE case, which compared to Hiscox is pretty much built like a carrier bag. The Hiscox is just a tiny bit too short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] They make a larger version which, by coincidence, is teardrop shaped.

franzbassist Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Went a little off piste and bought this in the end, and it's perfect: Protection Racket Gig Case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I prefer gigbags most of the time but I do have a peardrop guitar hardcase from brandoni music which is a nice solid case with tolex covering. its currently in the loft with a casio midi guitar inside. There's a similr bass version and they're pretty cheap at £45 [url="http://www.brandoniguitars.co.uk/cases.asp"]http://www.brandoniguitars.co.uk/cases.asp[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
