Grog 56 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) 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? https://www.gatorcases.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/GW-LP-BROWN.pdf Edited February 19, 2020 by Grog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realmongo 7 Report post Posted February 20, 2020 It looks to be about 41-3/4" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grog 56 Report post Posted February 20, 2020 That might be too tight....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grog 56 Report post Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) 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.

Grog 56 Report post Posted February 26, 2020 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realmongo 7 Report post Posted February 26, 2020 I think I'd like to get the flight case you showed above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Realmongo 7 Report post Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited February 28, 2020 by Realmongo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realmongo 7 Report post Posted February 28, 2020 Came back from Guitar Center. No cases in stock, but I did bring home one of the LP JR Guitars in Dark Blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grog 56 Report post Posted March 1, 2020 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grog 56 Report post Posted March 15, 2020 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grog 56 Report post Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) 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. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Knox-Gear-Electric-Guitar-Hard-shell-Protective-Carrying-Case/362368388598?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item545ed6cdf6:g:lIwAAOSwHSNdiUNh&enc=AQAEAAACUBPxNw%2BVj6nta7CKEs3N0qXCx%2BBpvCSYqtgjR78I9TJO3nV58DqHWzSSz%2F51QXxKqU71Kqw0z2bhyzWDFNtU1eJLTOCC9YAii73E%2BG53bSrzIqdPAE8WfiT21T1pCXY%2BNaHp%2Bihfyopc%2ByNsmBP7qWHEg5KstReGMo9NOKvArI%2BtnXTc3YDvan2Op44pyVFB1YAz2iNd2PO6QDzieBLsd%2FefLZ2e2y58hVsnz4QjOVGKhAiQMM4Pbkob9R9FChY%2B9gflFX4yE3R6QaDzf0iKvSG2f4WQPGu2dK3Fpr9RIIMgniBLGuizmQOAcregjAYx1V31tQENCXPhwApvwCV62FveIyg2cqAcfS%2Beb60eB4izAgwH4o33AB6nuC4RGOoGMN6igeXnzWL0SmsMwFBYaIwLamoAcNO%2Bpp1vOZljS%2B81uURLCsu%2Bdr2UniO7qTGoMWsvGEwTtPDTNAF4hngPxlGtZCYuMJZlcuKyi0XpMKjGzCWZzWrNvjH%2BgkbQOA%2BcJMqzAKn6NqNWCUSD8UL9SrmpPM%2BhydYkfqzI%2FhdeUA2u6tWcSgdaFamV7MlJBvjNtuVmYyx75uHYOlDYOzYb1V2RSiSgd%2B4jiHmrOfhIIQthNWTXEhSKIQLapb2sYQymKJmJePDpJbJI%2BbWA1EuSvGCjKY45T37dNyoboZXk6WRR2uMj%2FWAaGKZiVJH9yMxZiIpwly6abKdDp3nj%2FiL8rig08ovp6YP1GW2mWhEZGTo0F2Fj9OyBPacig2xvgoASa179iI2TwmSSB1BIUrEepcE%3D&checksum=362368388598a2ec0351b0e24bc79461dc4f63763179 Edited March 20, 2020 by Grog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lungimsam 28 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 The Gator GC-ELEC-XL Deluxe ABS Molded Case for Extra Long Baritone Guitar works, too. I had to compress the styrofoam on the inside of the lid in the area over the face of the bass a little (using my heel) so it would not be such a tight fit but the mod worked and case fits like a glove now. Lid shuts all the way with ease now. It shut fine before but was a little bug for my taste so I compressed the styrofoam with my heel about 1/2cm. Length of interior is perfect even with my extra long Dunlop locking strap button. There is about 1" from intierior to edge of headstock. Bass doesn't;t slide around inside and the neck channel fits perfect. Has lotsa storage room and very light even with the bass inside. Balkances well while carrying.
