Aftermarket Cases for a Ric 4003?

[Skybone]

So my recently acquired 4003's case has seen better days, one of the feet is missing (common problem with the Ric ABS cases), it's generally beaten up, and it's a bit pongy too.

Has anyone ever put their 4003 into an aftermarket, preferably hard shell, case?

Any recommendations?

Anything to avoid?

Anything to look out for?

Must admit that I prefer a hard case rather than a gig bag, even though the modern gig bags are very good. Would consider one of those oblong soft cases like the Gator GL Bass case or the Rockcase Soft-Light case. Cost is a consideration, but I will consider anything really.

Thanks.

I put my Sprackenbacker in one of these Thomann ABS cases.  Fits exactly.

All of my other Faker's reside in the Thomann "classic" case (https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_ebass_case.htm), so it makes sense to consider the ABS one. Cheers. 👍
