Title: Need help identifying Alembic bass case
Post by: gtrguy on July 21, 2019, 01:04:25 PM: Need help identifying Alembic bass case

I have this bass case I am thinking of selling. The person I got it from thought it was for an Orion, but was not sure. I have measured it and it is for a 4 string bass that is 47" long overall, not counting any strap pins. The other measurements are in the photo.
Does anyone know for sure what it fits?
Thanks
