Looking for hardcase for my Schecter CV5 bass

[RomantheBass]

Hello my friends , I posted here about my CV5 bass which is rare and cool but I have a problem with finding a hard case . Bass is around 48inches long and I also heard not every large case can fit it .
I’m looking for help from The CV owners .
I know bass is rare and there are not so many owners but let’s help each other

I'm not familiar with the CV5, how does its body shape compare to the Stiletto Studio series?
'cuz I have a Schecter-branded hard case for one of those that I never use.

When I had one, I used the Fender FB620. It was a good bag. I couldn't find a hard case that fits. Probably the ones used for Thunderbird basses (I have one and I think it is aprox the same length. I had problems finding a bag for my Thunderbird as well). See what people are using in the Thunderbird club.

It was curious because when I bought the bass, it was sale from a local shop and it included a Schecter hard case. When they were going to give it to me in the store, they realise that the bass didn't fit. They checked with Schecter and they didn't make any hard case that would fit.

It’s different shape , it’s like Schecter C shape but longer

Just a thought. I did 20years+ in the Infantry. HHC Mortars so LOTs of equipment, LOTs of loading/unloading; rough handling would be an understatement now add on field time, all weather conditions, bumpy roads/trucks you get the idea.

Something comparable to Bass / Amp: The equipment goes inside a soft case when equipment is in hand cary. If it goes in a truck or even short term storage or bad weather situation; the soft case goes inside a hard case (Usually Pelican). Most are not pretty at all. 50/50 there is a medium/thin layer of closed cell foam on most interior surfaces, then glued in harder closed cell foam blocks to keep the soft case in the middle.

Point is, the Army system works, no question. If you have a decent soft case, just need to find a comparable hard case that fits it. Pelican is the standard, they have dozens of sizes and .gov surplus with only minor cosmetic wear and can be found on eBay at lest 50% off. There is also Hardgig , SKB and Seahorse; all just about as good as Pelican. Don't forget about checking weights. (FWIW: Harbor Freight is just OK IMO. They are heavy and smell. 100% I would spend a fraction more and get surplus Pelican every time)
