The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

Over 24 hours without a post here. We are slacking. Here's a picture of my small Maruszczyk bass family. They are expecting a 6 string sibling in a few months.:woot:

Has anyone found a good HSC that a short scale Jake will fit in correctly (ie not a long scale case)?
How long is it (end to end)?
Not a hard case, but you may want to consider it… I've been using these very sturdy Roadrunner 'guitar' gig bags… they have nice neck support and good storage. I have the bass version too, but way too big for a shorty.

They are $119 normal price but they run deals frequently at MF and GC for $49-$79… I got the bass version for $49 and 2 guitar versions for $69ea (for my headless basses).

I just purchased the Roadrunner Premium Bass bag. Great value especially when on sale! I just payed $70 for mine. Huge case! 2 inches longer than my Kiesel and Reunion Blues bags! It has good neck support and is fairly rigid. I have to put in a towel so my Kiesel JB5 doesn't move around too much. The backpack straps sit too low on the bag. When I wear it, I'm banging the top of my neck on doorways. For local travel, it's fine. A no go for flying!!! This will trigger gate agents to not let you on the plane! Both Maruszczyks on order will be headless to help aid me when I fly. I do that quite often, so that's real important to me. If this isn't a concern, you might love these cases. You can't beat it for $70!

Just under 43".

EDIT - now that I got the actual tape measure out, the exact length is 42.7"

I have been waiting for a deal to pop up these at GC. I have a headless 32" bass that I want to get the guitar version for. They look great.
