JohnH89 Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 Thought I would search the hive mind for some info . Any ideas folks? It is huge and sticks out from a standard gig bag by a couple of inches . All I have come up with so far is possible a Fender FB1225 or the Gator G-PG . I am hoping the latter fits as I have taken a bit of an ebay gamble on one second hand . Specs , when available online are misleading and inaccurate so I was hoping that someone had some real world experience . Quote
gaz66 Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 My original 63 Bison, which is very slightly longer than the reissue fits perfectly in a mono gig bag. 1 Quote
JohnH89 Posted November 28, 2024 Author Posted November 28, 2024 Cheers for that . If the Gator one doesn't work out I'll look at Mono . What does the 63 Bison measure out of interest ? Quote
gaz66 Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 About 121.5 cm. I got hold of a reissue Bison hardcase and had to remove a bit of material for it to fit. Quote
JohnH89 Posted November 28, 2024 Author Posted November 28, 2024 My reissue measures 49in/125cm from headstock tip to strap button . I have managed to get it into a cheap fender fb610 so I am hoping that if my eBay gamble on the Gator G-PG doesn't work , a fender fb1225 will work . It doesn't even fit in my flightcase for a jazz bass . Quote
gaz66 Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 That's unusually long. I measured the fitted hard case I have that originally came from a reissue and the maximum length it can accommodate from strap button to headstock end is 123cm, maybe 124 at a real squeeze. The material I had to remove was actually to get the headstock in as the tuners are a bit longer. The Mono M80 case has about 3cm room at the headstock on mine so could still fit. 1 Quote
JohnH89 Posted December 4, 2024 Author Posted December 4, 2024 Just as an update . Gator G-PG Pro Go fits the burns bison '62 reissue if you remove the velcro pad at the bottom . Its snug to zip up but it aint gonna move in there . Thanks for all your input . Quote
