Sadly the case in the link cb56 supplied no longer fits the Ubass. I guess they've changed the model spec since 2010.

If anyone else knows of a baritone uke case that fits the acoustic Ubass then I'd love to know.

BTW I've tried the Kala supplied one but it is really heavy and bulky.

Kala makes a black one and a tweed one for the acoustic UBass. Not seeing anything on the price sheet for the SUB. MAP is about $80 on the acoustic case.

Thanks for the info Fisticuffs. I have one of the black models but they are so big and heavy it's actually put me off using it.
I was querying if anyone had managed to find one of the standard baritone uke cases that fitted as they'd be considerably lighter and take up less space.

Lanakai makes a padded case for Baritone Uke. Looks like this:


No specs online but I'll ask the rep if they have dimensions. SKB, Gator had nothing. Martin doesn't make a bari uke.

* rep not too helpful. A Lanakai bari uke is 20.375" scale. UBass is 21". Body isn't any different. You might get away with that case. Model is UC-B.

Find a 28-30 inch tool box, what ever the bass will fit in, add padding/foam/whatever as needed for protection. Total cost should be $30-40.
