Hiscox STD-EBS Liteflite Standard Bass Case & Jazz Bass Owners

[BigLicks67]

Hello, Just a quick question for Hiscox/J Bass owners. Is their any movement of the bass, inside the case, in transit, please.

Many thanks in advance for your learned replies.

I don't tend to keep it in a Hiscox, but I've just checked and there's not very much room at all round the body of my Jazz V - it's quite a snug fit in the STD-EBS. I don't think what little room there is would translate to much actual movement in transit either, because the offset of the body takes up pretty much all the width, and the fixed cushions in the lid of the case press on the bridge and bouts.

 

They're great cases, but if I could offer one bit of advice should you get one, it would be to put some tape over the aluminium edging above the handle. The skin on your knuckles will thank you.

Okay, Thanks Ed. Good to know.

I did wonder because my Hiscox dreadnought case needed additional cushion pads to keep the guitar in a fixed position.

I will keep an eye on the aluminium edging when I get one.
