Bass cases - what do you prefer?

Post by Rodent »

I'm looking for a reliable source for quality bass cases, as I'm growing weary of finding a case/supplier only to have them disappear two months later when I return to make another purchase. Thankfully I've not been bitten by anyone accepting my order the eve before they declare bankrupcy!

I'd prefer a case that is form fit for a lefty bass, but I could settle for something that is usable for lefty and righty. Something like this could be appealing if I couldn't find a dedicated lefty case

I think a form fitting case would be cool only because we don't see them on lefty basses very often.

Wonderful topic!
Anybody know of a good lightweight SKB-type case that'll fit a Ken SMith? I can't use gigbags as my bass bounces around too much in the truck ...

Ken Smith makes cases for his basses. Why not shoot him an e-mail. Price probably wouldn't be much different than an SKB.

Well, see, that's the issue!! I have a KS case already. And alltho it's quite sturdy, it's pretty darned heavy also. Hence the search commences for a lightweight plastic replacement
