loldog5000 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) So I will be travelling with my double bass by buss in a few weeks, and it's recommended to have a hardcase for instruments in the luggage compartment on busses, which is understandable. While doing research, I stumbled upon Gear4Music's doublebass hardcase which looks very promising. The only thing I'm concerned is whether my 3/4 bass with violin corners will fit, but what experince have you guys had with these? Thanks! And heres the link to the product: https://www.gear4music.com/Woodwind-Brass-Strings/3-4-size-Double-Bass-Case-by-Gear4music/9IK#full-des Edited July 23, 2018 by Cat Burrito fix link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Don't know how much the G4M ones are but you can usually pick up the hardcases supplied with the cheaper doublebasses second hand for next to nothing. Folks don't tend to keep them as they are massive and unwieldy. Have a look on ebay/gumtree/facebook etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Just had a look (your linky didn't work) and you should be able to get an as new second hand one for less than fifty quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 To be honest, I'm not sure what brands they are, maybe they are all from G4M basses but I'd guess a company manufactures and supplies them to a few lower end bass sellers. I've just checked ebay and there aren't any I just remember seeing them for sale second hand for very little money every now and again. I saw one go for less than twenty quid because I considered buying it (just in case) but I chickened out in the end as storage was a problem.
