I shipped a Fender Jazz Bass neck in an architectural project tube (I do not know what they are called exactly) once. You can even bring that on board without much hassle by the ground or cabin crew. Also FedEx used to have long boxes with a triangular cross section. They would be fine as well.

Yep, I was thinking of one of those triangular blueprint boxes also. Take the tuners off and pack those in your suitcase.

Maybe.

I’ve transported both weapons and instruments via air quite a bit over the years. No biggie if checked, but there’s always the possibility the item won’t make it to the destination. I’ve had bad checked experiences with computers and instruments dissolving into thin air, however, both times at ORD

A DIY option would be a length of PVC pipe. Cut it to size, then duct tape an end cap on one end. Wrap the neck in a soft cloth, the enough bubble wrap so it fits tightly in the pipe. Duct tape another end cap on the other end and you are good to go.

If ya want to make it burlier, you could solvent weld the fittings for cleanout plugs at one or both ends. They'll keep the tube sealed no matter how it gets banged around, and all ya gotta do to access the contents is unscrew the plugs. Would cost a few bucks more, though.

I don't know if it's the lighting or not but I love the look of your chrome. It looks like it has a nice aged patina.

Me and the bass made it just fine. No issues. Backpack was checked and nobody messed with it. This was a $100 or so pack from Amazon. I think 70l. Trip is overseas to Europe. Pack allowed me to bring way more stuff I may need so I can work out as well.

Steinberger Spirit bass? Those can be cheap and are pretty small.

I skimmed the posts and it sounds like you're planning to carry a rifle case onboard a plane and you put a dismembered body in your luggage?

I hope I read that wrong.

Update: I bought this little Fender bag and plan to take the neck in it as carry on.
