Wow I've never seen a case for one. I bought a (42" I think) padded 'tactical rifle bag' for mine...works great!! The are only $20 on theBay.

Nice Hohner. I bought a red one used in 1988 and gave it away in 2015. I regretted that and bought another black one last year.
 
Thomann's sells a nice soft case ....got it for this one

I found one of those in a pawn shop outside of San Antonio when I was in the Army stationed at Ft Hood Texas . didn't play bass back then just looked cool as hell and was like $30 or something. As I played guitar mainly I ended up trading it to a guy in the barracks for this cheap Chinese turd of a guitar that fell apart first couple of times I played it...lol guess I got even as one of the very thick and proprietary saddles had came off it before I traded with him. Wish I could find one that cheap nowadays...

I ran sound for 3-4 bands 20+ years ago that had a talented bassist/singer with one of these Hohnbergers. Hands down one of the best and easiest live sounds I've ever dealt with. Sat in any mix effortlessly with minimal tweaks, gave me everything across the spectrum that I needed.
He was prone to tantrums when his janky Ampeg would crap out, so his Hohner got thrown across the stage or at his amp MANY times yet always worked and played fine after the occasional pot or jack replacement (done by me right before the next show, of course).

Rare, but recommended if you find one.
