My Cronkhite gig bag for the Starfire showed up today. It's a great case, definitely a step up from all the gig bags I've used before this. The fit is perfect and the build quality is stellar. It has imbued our house with a delicious leather smell! The only daunting aspect is the price, but given that it would probably outlast 4 or 5 conventional gig bags and it's handmade, it's not that bad.

I'll post pictures soon.

Nice case, and I love the work you've done on the Starfire. It looks like it was done back in the day. I bet it sounds great.

Nice case! What was the final price...?
And are those reissue caramel pickups, or are they the real old deal??
Grats on a cool bass.

It was a little over $400.
The pickups are the real old deal and are trapezoidal in rectangular shells. They sound really wonderful. I'm still working on getting the noise down to 21st century standards, but all in all, it's not too bad.
