Double Bass flight cases?

[solutionbassist]

I am purchasing a bass from a local shop that is currently restoring it and it will be finished in a week. Due to the fact that it is worth a large sum of money I would like to buy a case that would be adequate in protecting it. Any recomendations would be appriciated.

I wouldn't buy a flight case for just around town. If I understand you correctly..

Gator makes nice cases, but there are plenty of options.

Look everyone, SOMEONE'S LOST!

Anyway, most folks in NYC use soft cases (Mooradian being the most popular), I just got Invalid Link Removed and it seems to have a lot more close cell padding than any case I had before. I've used the Mooradian and a Messina (that I liked a lot), but I'm getting to like this Lemur.

There IS something that's a cross between a soft bag and a flight case, and I guess if you're gonna drive everywhere it might be an option. But like I said, most folks are fine with a soft case. And that includes Charlie Haden and his Vuilliuame...

Here's a link to a used David Gage flight case.

Scroll down the page a bit.

Since this is the "Basses" forum and since the thread isn't about a bass, it's being moved.
