Is Long Island in FL? That be new to me...
I could check that for you ( if you want me to).
Have to find the cheapest fee + the 69 (95-100$).
Or perhaps i can order it and give yours as delivery-address.
I just wonder how it fits my Bergers....

Ooops, this would have been the correct link, but apparently they're out of stock, as SamAsh is
However, Thomann does deliver to USA. For easier understanding Invalid Link Removed. Invalid Link Removed

Apparently not, that's what i proposed first... perhaps Sam Ash is gonna get them on stock again.
Thing is, i want to have a look on it, but when tailored for XTs too the L/XL might go a little loose in it.
Which part of Invalid Link Removed says "not shipping to USA"? I know, 30 Euro shipping costs is a lot, but at a maximum of 31 kg you could ship several cases at once for that price
I use a rifle case for my L2, and a soft rifle case for my Spirit. I did have to take measurements and examine several models before I found cheap ones that would fit. Works well, but I am somewhat concerned the local constabulary will see me unloading the car and panic.
Played my L-2 for many years in the eighties and nineties, but moved back to my beloved Fender J basses eventually. I have two, an early L-2 5, serial number 437 and my L-2, serial number 485.
I used these basses playing club dates around Washington DC. They were perfect for that, easy to carry with a small GK combo amp. Though the Secret Service sometimes gave me an evil eye with the gig bag. The bass was less appreciated after a move to Florida and gigs in local roadhouses rather than The Carlton or White House.
I'm getting old now and those Fenders are pretty heavy, so....
I got the old Steinberger out and rediscovered the wonders of that ergonomic design. I ordered a new set of strings for the old girl (strings on it are over twenty years old) and I'm going to give her a work out this weekend.
Basses still work perfectly and are both still in tune. I gigged the four string hard back in the day. A few little dings but the little stick on serial number label on the neck heel is still there!

@JMarkD,
those are two beautiful axes, even more with the amp... good pics also! Congratz!
@NecroticImbecil and SlowCode, i also had the idea of the gun-cases/bags and found this one.
It's rather for two L/XL Bergers but would exactly fit (as standard sized Fender use them too...):

I've carried my XL in a black rifle bag through airports dozens of times, with zero problem -- it never gets searched, and I've only had to even open it once (I think the guard was just curious what kind of guitar it was).
The only hairy eyeball I ever got was from a MTA/TSA squad on the NY subway. One of 'em looked at me, looked at the bag, looked at me again, then seemed to go "Nah!", and looked away.
