JohnH89 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz66 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 My original 63 Bison, which is very slightly longer than the reissue fits perfectly in a mono gig bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH89 Posted November 28 Author Share Posted November 28 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz66 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH89 Posted November 28 Author Share Posted November 28 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz66 Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH89 Posted December 4 Author Share Posted December 4 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
