    My latest bass, a beautiful 1979 Gibson G-3, is going to need to be transported but there’s one problem... the body measures near enough 15 inches in width and I just can’t find any hard cases out there that have dimensions this wide. The Flying V style headstock is also wide so there is that to add to the list of difficulties... I thought it was worth a shot putting this out into this bass community to see if anyone knows of any cases that might be good. Thanks a lot for any help you can provide it’s very much appreciated :) I realise that there are a few original Gibson cases that pop up on eBay and such sites but they tend to be quite shabby (probably from being 40 ish years old!) so I was really looking for a new case to buy if possible.

    Maybe the Jack Casady Bass case by Epiphone might work as well, its a pretty large bass.

    Yea it’s strange how it’s kind of the same body shape and size as a semi acoustic. Thanks for your help.

    Thunderbird cases fit a lot of oversize basses.
