Mustang PJ owners... which case or bag?

[JosephRose]

Fender doesn't even make a case that fits this bass! So weird.

What are you guys using? I need a hard case, but a gig bag could hold me over for a bit if theres a good fit out there.

They are selling these still are they not? You'd think they would also be selling some sort of hard case that fits them - perhaps a guitar case? They are short scale after all aren't they? Sorry don't know much about them but just offering my $0.02 anyways on the case matter...

 

[JosephRose]

You'd think they would. But nope.

I can't recall the brand, but I found a bag made for ES335s that fits pretty well. It's a little big, but works fine for my purposes.

Fender has a G&G mustang/bronco/musicmaster bass hard case on their site. (Model #: 0996141406)
I'll post the link but being in Canada it's a different Fender site and may not work where you are. It'll probably redirect you to the home page of the american site.

I had one of these ^ very good case (perfect fit)... I now have this: Fender Urban Short Scale Guitar Gig Bag - Black

If you REALLY need a 'better' hard case: Fender Deluxe Mustang/Bronco Tolex Bass Multi-Fit Case

 

[JosephRose]

Any others?

Anyone got info. on a hard shell case for the new style MIM pj Mustang Bass, besides the one Fender makes. That one seems a little pricey. Any alternatives?

This case is not available.

The Fender case is pricey- but does qualify for 15% coupon ‘shamrock’ at MF. I just put one in my cart and it takes $30.00 off.

The one listed above from Rondo Music fits well. There is also the Fender Urban Short Scale Gig Bag (in stock on Amazon more often than Musician's Friend or Sweetwater). Fender also makes a Mustang/Bronco case that works. Those are the only 3 I've found and I own the first 2. Both good fits.

I use this for both my Mustangs

Gator ProGo Ultimate Gig Bag - Electric Guitar

I struggled to find reliable information on which (new) hardcases that fit my Mustang. It is a MIM Fender Mustang P/J FSR black/tort with maple neck and fretboard.
I ordered two Gator cases from Thomann, as local shops did not stock these models.

Gator GC-ELEC-XL (part number 212516). It does not fit my bass, as the bass is too long by approz 2 cm (3/4"). Also, the G tuner in "worst position" would make this even harder to fit, even if the back end foam was cut out.

Gator GW-JAG (284273). Length is perfect, with about 2 cm to spare. The case is unnecessarily wide by 1" top AND bottom, but one could add ie a strip of foam to position the bass body better, if you carry it longer distances. However, as the distance between the lid and the lower part fits perfectly for my bass, you feel the bass in a reassuring grip, once the lid is closed. No sense of the bass bumping around as you walk.

I might add pictures later.

The Gator gig bag is the best for the money.

Older thread, but the best answer is the 1SKB-62 . Close to perfect fit for a Mustang bass.
