It's a standard recent Gibson case, they're made in Canada, of course!
Model trains......they lead to craftiness!

100% Certified Nerd, actually I think Dork is likely more apt.

once saw a dude make a capacitor out of cigarette pack foil and wax paper for a broken radio in Jamaica in the early 80’s…….it worked…
That's very ingenious - I'm still not clear exactly what different caps do (how they are different from each other) and also different potentiometer k's. (1meg/100k/250k/500k) People talk about caps as effecting tone and pots as output? My question for my P-pu and lipstick pu V pots is; which would be "better" for the lipstick pu, 1meg or 100k?
OK, serious question, What does the collective think something like this should fetch?
no pics of the "non-original hard case"
I do believe if I were to get an older bass I'd get sumfin refinished or sumfin needs work

I wonder how it compares to the current NR case. the current case fits my TeleNRBird very well.
AND my epiphone reverse case fits my TeleBird, and my Greco. I'm definitely picking up one more case.. ($120ish)
I am so not qualified to even get close to answering such a question.
If one was serious(although @D.M.N. says the owner is "firm"), he might move-a little. The fact it hasn't moved in 2 years makes me think(a), he's 'upside down' on it, or(2), he doesn't really wanna let it go.
What's the length on that case? And where can I get one-if mine'll fit?holy sh1t!!! you just made my day!! turns out i don’t gig my 68 much because i cannot stand the original case and don’t wanna carry it in a gig bag….so, i just tried my MADE IN CANADA 2013 NR case and…….

it's just the standard 2013 case, there's no reason (I can see) the 2021 may not work? Fits BEAUTIFULLY!..

Looking good - you'll want to bevel the sides a bit. You can make a jig by connecting a #11 Exacto blade to a piece of wood at the same angle as your original as a guide for the correct angle.
Nah, I mean the 65/67. The Coffin Case is kinda unwieldy, and the gig bag ain't protective enuff. There ain't no 2021 in my foreseeable future.
I'll measure my 21 NR case when I get home, my impression of it (carrying it up the stairs to the music room) is it is just borderline unweildy. but I don't think it would stop me from gigging it.
From bottom strap button to end of 'detachable' HS is 51 1/2"
define better...depends on what you are looking for....you would be affecting you cutoff freq..
