Details

Gage travel case for sale, used.
Some battle scars, as you'd expect from its 3 tours of Japan and two to Thailand.
Oh - it was rented out twice for short tours with the Count Basie Band - showing little 'Ware' and tear.
The case is solid.
All the locks work, the neoprene gasket edging is intact, and the two wheels roll true.
Gage built in a 'trapeze' that allows the neck of the bass to rest on a rubber sling.
They want you to put the bass in a soft bag before you load it into this case.
It has 'air bags' inside that inflate to provide the bass a cushioned ride.
Cost me $3,000 new; asking for a bit below half that.
Best 'case' scenario: you pick it up in Los Angeles.
If you need it shipped, buyer pays shipping.
A hard case is good to find.

Latest questions

Hello, is this still available?

If so, I'm looking for a hard case atm that'll fit my larger sized 3/4 bass.

Your bass's dimensions are slightly larger, but this Gage case had sufficient interior room to accommodate a Mooradian cover around my bass.

Solid, thank you for getting back to me. I just measured mine and it looks like it is 21" upper bout, 26" lower, and 9" deep. So just a little larger than your Morelli. What is the model of the case you have? I would like to look up some specific dimensions to be very sure about it.
When you had your bass plus the cover, did you feel like that was really snug or had breathing room?

I'm sorry, but I don't know the model of this case. It is of 1990's 'vintage'; Gage has since re-designed their case.
I'm the original owner of this Gage trunk.
When I load the bass inside, it is snug, but there's always a little 'breathing room.' I still have the 'air bags' that inflate and provide soft cushioning. Plus, the case allows the upper part of the neck to rest against a rubber 'sling,' like the swing seats at some public parks.
It may sound contradictory - to say it is snug yet somewhat flexible inside - but I think there's enough 'give' to prevent damage to the instrument.
Hope that helps.
