lozbass Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) For Sale - £90 (reduced from £100) collected from central Manchester - Castle Cases ATA full flight case with foam insert to fit Fender Precision bass. I bought this on here a few weeks ago and was immediately reminded why I gave up on full flight cases around 20 years ago - beautifully constructed and ultimate protection...but heavy. This example is just a few months old and I haven't had a bass in it. The original purchaser made some very minor modifications to the foam insert to accommodate taller tuning posts ('62 re-issue?) but it's very neat work, not a carving knife job). The case outer is black hex fibreboard (industry standard) and the foam insert is grey high-density. Aluminium ball corners (very heavy duty - one with a small bump) and high-grade aluminium edging. The heavy duty handle is leather. The case is in almost new condition with just one or two very minor scuffs (apparently the case had just sat in a bedroom before it reached me - the scuffs are the kind of thing that are almost unavoidable when getting a case upstairs). You can see the case on the Castle Cases site - it's the Precision model that retails for £172 Any questions, just let me know Cheers, Lozbass Edited April 14, 2010 by lozbass
tredders Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I have the exact same flight case, and they are the absolute business.... heavy, but it feels like you could run over it in a tank and the tank would come off worse! Bargain at £100....

Cheers[/quote] Saw the incoming and it's gorgeous - I think you have an Overwater custom (again stunning!) that I used to own. I'll measure thi width of the case (internally) and pm you.
