Details

Excellent UK-made double bass case, good condition, just shipped an extremely fine English bass to the Gage shop with absolutely no trouble. Price for a new Headcase flight case is around $3000. This is a really great case and a great deal. Selling this for $1500. I got a new bass, which was shipped with another case, so the only reason that I'm selling this at this price is that I now have 2 shipping cases in my tiny NYC apartment.

I am interested in this case. Can you tell me anything about the manufacturer or where I can find more like this online?

Hello!
They are a British company. As far as I know, they are made upon request. I was told by the Gage shop that they are fairly popular, especially among English players. It's comparable to the Gage case, but it's more streamlined and less bulky. I took it on the NYC subway system a few times even. It's never had any problems: always shipped safely.
Unfortunately, they don't have a website.
