If I ever need a new case Im getting it custom made at my local music store. Theyre made to the measurements of each instrument so they fit in perfectly. No extra unused space. Surprisingly cheap

I need a case for my Pro so I would have asked if Marko57 hadnt
First of all Im in Europe. Portugal to be more precise. Its a really small store, the only reason it hasnt closed is because its the only one ine town (a town here is problably smaller than the suburbs in America, just more shops and stuff like that) and it offers really inexpensive lessons so theres lots of students. Also all the cases are made by 1 guy in his garage so I dont think he'll even take me seriously when I say someone in America wants a case. Shipping it would cost more than it.Do they do out of state orders?
Pick up question. I'm moving over to emgs in my tokai t bird, I want to match my Spector a bit more. I'm using the active 354p & 35J but I'm also looking at the 40p&J. I want that p&J sound in the soap bars like I did in my skull bass. I have pups just like epis in my bird now. I'm wondering is the only difference the housing length? If so then I can use these to have a better fit?
Just too some measurements, not happening. The 35p I have will have a bit of a gap on both ends, maybe 1/8th, its 3 1/2" but the 40 is 4", about the same as the epi pup BUT those goofy angled corners... Not doing all that lol. I don't know what these pups are but they sound great just need to switch to the active P&J sound. Hell I might pop in a Duff mimi haz too!

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
Better chime in on this whole amp/rig debate:
I use a MacBook + GuitarRig with the Rammfire plugin straight to FOH and monitors - great sound and no sore back/shoulders when loading in/out...

I could get used to that REAL quick! Sounds like an Aging Bassist Friendly solution!

3 Tubes, 900 watts into 4 ohms, 6 lbs (<3 Kg), and just the right number of knobs. Excellent D.I. and killer tone.

That is a very cool looking amp!
I can't break myself of the SVT. I will lug that thing around forever.

You get to try a GK here, it'll be different!
