Title: Anybody willing to part with a hardshell case?
Post by: kungfusheriff on July 30, 2008, 06:29:24 PM: I need one for my long-scale Standard Point 6, which is 50 long and 17 wide at the lower bout. This seems to be a fairly uncommon size for a bass guitar, so I'm having no luck finding a case that will fit.

I probably need to do the same thing-I'm beginning to distrust the gig bag I have due to its age, and the Anvil case that came with the bass is way too unwieldy for anything but flight.

Did you check out the Probag stuff I linked to in the (former) sale thread?

I did check out the probag link, but I'm not sure I want to order an oddly-sized custom case from Europe. Sent an e-mail to G&G over a week ago and never heard back. Beginning to give in to frustration.
