Weird hardshell case repair question

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a strange question about hardshell cases. I have an original Washburn hardshell case that is über-rare and the foam inside is molded around the bass. Last year, I needed to leave states for 5 months, I sold most of my gear and lended a couple of important/sentimental ones to various friends.

One of them was a USA custom shop limited edition Washburn Bass, kinda based on early Bantam series (particularly XB-1000). That guy evidently sold the bass and tried to modify the case to fit a Jazz Bass! In his defense, he misunderstood and thought it was a gift.

Anyway, I think I tracked one without the OHC and was wondering if there is a way for me to install a new foam and linings after removing the foams inside, of course. Is there any place that sells proper stuff for this kind of application or is it a lost cause and I should give up already. Better yet, is there a DIY information on this or can you think of a good way to do it.

Thanks!

Contact G&G Quality Case Company in CA for advice.

These guys are the original 50's musical instrument case company and have been helpful to me in providing parts for an old Univox case. My impression is that they are a class act.
