  • looking for a good case.

    Trying to locate a a quality case for my USA Concert and my Winger Lacewood model basses .Wanting to stay away from those flimsy cases that will crack like brittle.

    Get an SKB or a G&G.
    This is what I think of Gibson since 1993. I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

      Actually those were the two I was looking at. I really didn't know which one of the SKB cases to get and the G&G I emailed and they said that since those were made in the nineties that they don't think they would have any. That I would need to trace my basses and send it in so that they could make them. honestly I like the looks in the door ability of the SKB cases but I don't know which model would be the best and would fit right

        The Winger will be a tough case to fit due to the body width. A standard J/P bass outline won't work, and you really hate to get a "universal" case because it'll slide around. The Concert will be easier to get a case for - just look on Ebay for a Jackson SKB-style bass case. Gator cases are decent enough. Much better than the shit cases even the USA models came with in 1990. 1/4" plywood wrapped in vehicle trunk liner, or felt from the arts & crafts store.

        I did see a pic somewhere once where someone took an SKB-style universal case and some of that pick-n-pull foam and basically made their own form-fit case. Can't recall when or where, though. Looked decent enough.

        I think Anvil cases are like that, though the extruded aluminum trim and weighs-more-than-the-bass might be of some concern.
        I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

        The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

          thank you very much for the information. the winger base that I have has a universal case and it moves around in it. The concert came w/ a non original case. My other two basses ( Peavey TL-5, Rudy Sarzo Signature ) those bass cases are sweet. I'll look on ebay and see what they have.

            actually, any of those moulded cases will fit the winger/futura.
            ask me how I know

            I'll grab a pic shortly.

              these are a SKB and a jackson branded case for the p-basses




              perfect? no, close enough unless you are taking it on a world tour to be confident it can handle the trailer with the other gear? yes :P The chainsaw cases will not it the futura.

                  ya they were made for the regular p-bass bodies in the first place so they are an easy fit.

                          Actually I am not even looking for a good case... Have a 575 coming and it needs shelter!

                          Anyone selling one that is just collecting dust or that the wife is tripping over?

                            you want a case for storage or transportation? Do you want a case that has the moulding inside or just a big square...the details are everything :P
