just received my hofner icon in the mail a few days ago. i'm trying to find a good case for it. any suggestions?
musicians friend has these for $49.99: http://accessories.musiciansfriend....r-Electric-Bass-Case-Violin-Shaped?sku=541852 and these for $89.99: http://accessories.musiciansfriend....age-Violin-Bass-Case?sku=541853&rec=product_A I'll probably get one of the former for my cheap Rogue VB-100. Read the reviews though, both models need to have the neck support trimmed (which should take less than 10 minutes from the descriptions). There isn't much of a description on the samash site, no reviews yet, can't tell how they compare.
Solid -- a smaller version of my Epiphone Zenith case. Definitely not reinforced chipboard. It;s plush lined and the latches, hinges and handle are solid.
