Fender Player Mustang PJ Bass Hard-Shell Case & Gig Bag Options

[Groove Finder]

I am looking to for hard-shell case & gig bag options for my Fender Player Mustang PJ Bass. A quick Google search will point out the obvious Fender FBSS-610 Short Scale Bass Gig Bag or the
Fender Mustang Bass Guitar Case. From doing a little research it doesn't seem like the gig bag as much storage room and price point for the hard case seem a little steep.

In a Facebook group dedicated to Fender Mustang Basses, a popular hard shell frequently recommended by one or two of the same people is the SKB 1SKB-62 Jaguar/Jazzmaster Case. I'm currently waiting for an email from Sweetwater to confirm this would be a certified fit. The price though a little more than I'd like to pay is more realistic than that of the aforementioned Fender Mustang Bass Guitar Case.

Can anyone recommend alternative options based on experience?

I don't like hardcases. The Gator ProGo has met all of my needs for the past few years and the guitar version accommodates the Mustang bass easily. I also use a Protec CF342 guitar gig bag. Really just depends on your budget.

Derek makes some shorter gig bags for medium and short scale basses. Haven't personally tried them, but they seem pretty nice.

I use a "Gator GC-Elec XL Deluxe ABS Molded Extra Long Guitar Case" as I didn't want to carry around a full size 34" bass case. My Mustang PJ *just* fits. You may end up de-tuning the G string slightly to align the tuner so it fits in the case (my tuning position just happens to be OK); I may have removed a little bit of case "stuffing" near the tuner - I forget. While the case is a bit heavy it no doubt protects very well.

Side note: Too bad this case isn't 1/2" longer - it would be THE hard case for the Mustang Bass. Amazes me that a case manufacturer hasn't made one specifically for this bass - there must be thousands out there and they would own the market.

PS - there are lots of threads on Mustang Bass cases. Here's a good one.
