I have TUNE TWB-4 Custom HYB II WN (built by TUNE Japan; pictured ealier in this thread IIRC). I haven't read back far enough to see if this applies to your TUNE model, but I bought a HSC from Ikebe: (The bass shipped with a TUNE gigbag.)

It was not cheap; and I paid for EMS shipping, but I'm a sucker for logos and it's an awesome HSC..


Hope this helps.

What’s funny is that the Phoenix cases have no logos.

When I bought my first TWB back in 2007,I thought about buying a Tune HSC from the WSC website.
They wanted bank wire transfer for payment.
I declined.

I don't see any PHOENIX HSC's available on the TUNE Japan website.
Not sure what their purpose was in "forming" TUNE/PHOENIX; they seem to be pretty much the same insofar as specs, etc.

At any rate, the logo on the TUNE HSC is, IMO, very cool, a metal plate attached, rather than screened on.
Not to mention that I doubt a "generic" case would fit a TWB body!

You have more willpower than I do; I had to have a TUNE HSC for my new addtion!!

guys, i can provide you with original deluxe TUNE Hard cases. The reason we avoid selling empty cases is shipping charges. If you want to pay shipping cost for an empty case which would be the same as shipping the whole bass. Than ok, let me know.

and gig bags too

 

[VSN_Guitars]

Also in stock.. original Logo Tune machine heads, black and gold, left and right. Sold individually.
Black plastic knobs, Brass Bridges 4, 5 and 6 string also in gold and black.
A couple of brass logos available too

The second case down is the one that came with my bass. Wish there was a Phoenix logo, but eh, it's a solid case and it fits my PH-5 (and oddly, my TWX) fine.

From what I have seen Phoenix is there more top-of-the-line stuff, plus they have some shapes that are unique to Phoenix. There's also Psychedelic Guitars which looks to be their more Fender-esque stuff...though their Jazz bass is a Phoenix. Whatever the case may be I love them all.

Was it like any other coffin case or was it form fitting like the TUNE case is? I see the Phoenix case is form fitting.

Damn! I need my eyes checked! Sure enough... They look to be the same, minus the logo!
The Phoenix "Bomber" basses looks ridiculously cool, and looking thru the Galleries inc. "Psychedelic" builds is total eye-candy lust!

Its a standard rectangular HSC, but it is cut inside to form- fit the TWB body.
I had not seen the"SKB-type" cases or the gig-bags shown above. They actually look pretty nice.

Here's a nice one at a nice price!

Just want to say I received a very nice Tune bass case from Ned at VSN last week. I'll post a pic or two later.

What replacement tuners work without modification on a Korean TWB-43? Was looking at Gotoh GB-707s

 

[fruitlabor]

I got Carvin on mine, gold
Perfect fit

I have original tune tuners with logo, both left and right, in gold and black finish. Also 4 and 5 string bridges and control knobs.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback and will consider options soon.

I do not understand the little notch filter adjustment in the control cavity of a Tune TWB-43 bass. Anyone?

It's a gain pot.
Set it high or low.Or in between.

There are 2 volume controls for each pickup and "notch" regulator. With it you can boost some of the mid frequencies. If you turn it all away left, it does not do anything.
I set up mine to position "11 o'clock" and it boosts lower mid frequencies

Me too!
I set it so I get that punchy "chocolate covered shotput to the forehead" midrange!
