Which hardshell works with Les Paul Jr. Tribute DC Bass?

[Lungimsam 27]

Just got the bass in worn brown color but need a hardshell case for it. What works?

I would love to know that too!

I have a Blue Stain bass coming tomorrow. On another site a poster wrote that it was 41” long and that some aftermarket LP case did fit it. The only case I found that looks like a possible fit is a Gator GW-LP-Brown case 716408504001. I found conflicting info on different venders sites, so I went right to the Gator site & it lists the interior length as 41.9”. I think it sells for $119. What do you guys get for a total length on this bass?

It looks to be about 41-3/4"

[Grog 43]

That might be too tight.......

I took the bass to Guitar Center to try to find a case. They did have a Gator Flight Case for a Les Paul, the bass fit perfectly with just a little wiggle room. I ordered the case I mentioned above, it should fit the same. If it doesn’t, they said I could return it on the spot. I’ll let you know how it works. Should be her in 3 to 5 days.

Looks promising!

The bass fit great! It could use a little more padding under the end of the body, but that can be easily remedied. It fit better than I hoped with more extra room than I thought it would have. I feel fortunate to find something this close to fitting.

Cool, I need to get one of those!

[Lungimsam 27]

Thanks for this info and pics!!!

I think I'd like to get the flight case you showed above.

Guitar Center sold that one for $189. There were several versions on line. I think one was $169. I don’t really know what the difference was.....

The first thing I did to mine was remove the cloth cover.

Thanks, I think I'll take a ride over to Guitar Center tomorrow since I have the day off to have a look!

I did try putting it in my Les Paul Gibson case, but it was a little too long to fit.

Came back from Guitar Center.

No cases in stock, but I did bring home one of the LP JR Guitars in Dark Blue.

Nice! Now you need two cases..........

Yeah, I know.

[Realmongo 6]

It's dark blue, but looks almost black!

The Special at my local GC was about the same color, it sold right away. For the closeout price, you can’t beat it! Great guitar!

I decided to go with the same one you got for the Bass and just placed it on order.

I wound up getting a brown Gibson case for the Guitar.

I’m going to get a 2nd one of these for the guitar, after I get my Reward points from MF from buying the bass. Should knock another $50 off or so. Just have to wait 45 days. I hate the gig bags!

What make and model is it?

how much does it weigh?

i need one 

 

 

oops i see the info above

Yup, it fits!

 

Thanks!!!

I prefer the Gator case, but if you are looking for a cheaper option this Knox case works also..... Not quite as much clearance for the headstock as the Gator, but a good fit. A friend of mine bought four of these guitars & bought these cases for them.
