Hardshell cases for a jazz bass?

[skoti89]

I have a Fender hardshell case that I'm affraid to use, because it's falling apart, and about 30 years old. It's time for a replacement.

I'm not to sure on a brand, all I have is gigbags(kaces and fender). I have a fender deluxe active jazz bass that weighs a ******** ton. so weight, storage(cable, strap, strings, tuner,theory book) and durrability are main factors. Im thinking maybe a soft/hardshell padded case? I dont know, bjksdv fhberui'bh er bmjierj kwdgh vfv fd derka!

MOD EDIT: Please reread the usage agreement.

SKB 44

Fits just about any Jazz Bass. Is light and well made. About $100 give or take $10 from MF or Music123.

SKB Bass Guitar Case (Hardshell, Fit-All) ***BRAND NEW***

Here is an SKB44 for sale. I can attest to it being brand new. I'm the one that purchased it to sell my Flea.

It literally showed up via UPS and was back out in less than 2 hours.

Nice and light. Should meet your needs really well.

Providing it fits, I'd recommend a Gator Case. I bought one of these with my Ibanez, but kept it for my Spector. Really solid, well built cases.

This is, by far, the best case I've used for light travel and protection. It's no heavier than a gig bag, provides great protection and is very well made. My jazz basses fit in snugly with no movement once everything is closed up.

I use SKB Hardshells. I've taken my DeArmond Pilot Plus 5 & my EB MM Ray5 through the cargo holds of air planes in the standard SKB Hardshell cases. Granted-i put bubble wrap around the basses inside of the case-this way they wouldn't wobble at all. These cases survived 4 years of marching band, 4 years of show choir band, and well-being handled by a less than coordinated teenager.

I trust SKB cases. However, i'd buy a gator case in an instant. I own 1 of their racks, and the customer service on it [i bought it used off of here] has been astounding.

take it easy.

I thought so too, but that might be because there's a beautiful bass in it. They sure do look like they're high quality.

I was seriously considering one of those Stewmac cases before I bought that used SKB case posted earlier.
