Hi!
I've just bought myself an epiphone non-reverse thunderbird, but sadly there was no case in on the deal(bought it second hand...)
As I probably will be gigging quite a bit with this I need a case for it, or at leas a gigbag, but I'd like a case that fits my beauty perfectly(none of the cases i've seen so far would prob'ly fit). Anyone know where I can buy this and for what price?

ric5 is right, if you need a simple but good bag. I bought a couple that I use for under 40.00 total off a ebay seller, they fit good, they are padded well, but obviously not as good as a HSC, but good enough to take it out of the house and transport it.

just dont put it on the bottom of the pile of gear in your car/van whatever...:D

I used a Body Glove Hybrid for the Non Reverse Fenderbird (Epiphone body)(coincidentally made by Ric5!) and the bass is 48" long. It's much sturdier than a gig bag and it has an awesome backpack type harness. I don't think they are made anymore, but you can still find NOS. I got mine at American Music Supply

oh wow, that bodyglove looks so close to my bag it is scary, same pockets, same harness straps to carry it vertical like a backpack... my only problem is I don't carry it vertical, because the damn thing sticks up about 2 feet over my head...lol

forgive the shameless picture, but I wanted to show it strapped to my back...when I get home, I will post dimensions so you all can see if it is the same as that bodyglove or not, including a picture of the Tbird inside it so you can see how it fits in there.

The one from American Musical Supply. It's really sturdy, my only complaint is it doesn't have a "vertical handle", something to easily hold it near the headstock when you are going through doors and elevators. They list the interior dimensions at 50", my bass is 48 with the non reverse shape. It does stick up pretty far when wearing it as a backpack. Hope that helps!

PLEASE don't think I am advertising these things...I'm not. just another alternative to the other excellent suggestions for bags for the Birds that fit perfectly, have most of the features the $$$$ do, and only 39.95 online---

SORRY FOR THE PIC QUALITY the white spots are due to a dead battery ( the pickguard screwholes ARE real :D )
