Good hardcase for newish Guild Starfire I bass

[JottoSW1]

Recommendations? - adequate but not too expensive ideally (Even at a second hand price). Lives fine in an OK gig bag currently

I have the same question. I have seen a Guild hard case advertised, I think it was on DV247 but I have heard some stories about buying from them.

I have a Guild Starfire hard case which fits them well, but I tend to use an Epiphone Rivoli hard case which is a bit more compact.

Are those guitar cases, or specifically for the bass variants? I did a search on Rivoli cases and it just comes up with guitar cases.

I'm not sure to be honest, sorry.  I could measure it when I get home if that helps?

Thanks for the offer. That would be useful, if you have a spare moment. Thanks.

Here’s a couple of pictures. The internal length is 45 1/2” and lower bout width is 16”. Hopefully that helps find the exact case.

Here's my Guild

Here’s mine with my cure for the binding digging into my forearm: foam edge protector. It looks a bit odd but it works. I got through a 2 1/2 hour gig on Sunday evening without appreciable discomfort.
