Persuader Case

[antonio melo (meloant)]

Hi Mica.  
 
Question Please: I recently purchased a Persuader bass and am looking to also purchase a hard case for it.  Do you carry these (and if so might you kindly provide me with price and shipping info?), or might you be able to point me in the right direction if you do not.
 
Many thanks.

For a standard Persuader, the model number for the case is #81. These are $250. You can get a shipping quote from www.ups.com, please note, shipping an empty box costs the same as one with a bass in it, since they charge dimensional weight. You'll need the box dimensions of 5x22x55 to get an exact quote from UPS.
 
When you order, please provide your instrument's serial number so we canfirm that you will get the proper case.

Any word on the persuader case i ordered back in july?

Did you order a case in July? And it's not there yet?

We discovered they discontinued the case since we hadn't ordered one in over 5 years. The process of starting a new case (even though we've made this before, it's considered new to the case maker) is a bit drawn out. We had to make a sample bass for them to make the sample case. As soon as we get the sample and approve it, they cases should come 2-3 weeks later.  
 
If you have an urgent need for a case, we can custom fit one to our templates here, but that is an additional $100 labor.
 
The Persuader hasn't been in our catalog since we introduced the Essence. The Spoiler was dropped from the catalog in 1999. The last cases we ordered for Spoilers was back in 1998, and we finally used them all up in 2000. We have cases in stock for all current models, and the custom fitting service is available for shapes not in stock.
