Hardcase for Gibson G3 bass

[matt s.]

Helloooooo,

I really need a hardcase for my Gibson G3.

It's a 1976 natural colour, and sounds beautiful!

But I can't find any hardcases that are wide enough at the body end...

The body width is 38cm, but all the cases that I can find only go up to 36cm.


SO, does anyone know of any cases that will be able to accommodate my bass?

I can only really spend up to £80...and I know that original Gibson hardcases are a lot more than that.


Thanks!

Did your band record in the end Matt? Wouldn't mind hearing what you did with the G3

(have I got the right Matt?)

Hey Jules!!
Yes it's me

We haven't actually recorded anything yet unfortunately but we are going on a UK tour in April...what city are you near as you could come and see us, and the G3 in action!

Cheers

Hiscox STD-EDP extra large bass case would do it, and that's around £80 delivered. I fitted my fat-arsed Washburn Scavenger into one. Ask nicely and they'll give you extra pads, too.

This is what I was going to suggest - very nice cases indeed and one of the few that will fit a wide-bodied Gibson. I have my Ripper in a custom-build flight case (from the early '80s) but I struggle to pick it up
