    I sent a message to the OP last week and didn't hear back, the flight cases will hold anything from a 5'8ths to a full, if you have the pads in.

    Bassmastan,

    Sorry 'bout that! I wasn't reading very closely when I saw your last entry, so I got confused. I sent the private msg to ehdbl1.
    I guess we're both looking at the case and I see by your picture that we both play a busetto style bass. This is my concern with this case because the bottom bout of my 7/8 busetto bass is about an inch & a half wider than most any other gamba or violin model I've ever seen. (it's also probably why it sounds so good!) However, for that reason I've had to walk away from a couple of good deals on a high-end flexible case because they just were not wide enough.
    I'm hoping that this one will fit.

    Jon

    Thanks for the advice Jon! I really appreciate it! If you find something that does work let me know... My big bass needs a big case! Just for scale, I am 6' 3", 250 lbs and you can tell by that bass with that extension it actually makes me look small! Thanks again~!

    Have you wandered off? I sent you a pvt msg, but have had no response. I am very interested in your case. Shipping could be a problem, but as we're only a couple of states apart, I think we have a couple of good alternatives.

    Please contact me.
