Need case recommendation for Yamaha TRB5–P

[mani1147]

Hi folks, I have an early 90s Yamaha TRB5–P that I’ve been carrying around with an over the shoulder gig bag but it’s time to invest in a good case for some more extensive travel. Can someone recommend a good proper fit case? Thanks in advance.

It kind of depends what you'll be using it for. Like, are you checking it as cargo? I've been happy with a Gator Lightweight GL-BASS for my TRBX605. It fits nicely and is plenty sturdy for my needs. They also make hardshell cases and TSA approved stuff if that's what you're wanting. I don't have a lot else to compare to, but this sort of answers your question. It's what works for me

A public service announcement from Captain Pedantic:

There is no such thing as “TSA approved”.

Likewise, no such thing as “ATA approved”.

Any case manufacturer that uses either of those terms is being disingenuous and misleading.

Here's where I got that from, fwiw:

Ah, ^^^that’s different: There *is* such a thing as a “TSA approved locking latch” … that just means that the keys are universal, that TSA can open your latches even if you locked them.

It’s the lock that is “TSA approved” not the case.
