Permalink Bass VI case?

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

So I have a Squier Bass VI on the way and I'm wondering about a case. I have heard that guitar cases are too short and bass cases are too long. Anyone have one that is a good fit?

Doens't it fit in a jazz or P bass case?

martianspy, I have some NOS Jerry Jones baritone cases that may fit. Measure it up when you get it and let me know if you're interested.

It will be too wide for most Jazz or Precision cases, due to the offset body. I managed to find a bass case that was slightly wider for mine. You might consider the shorter scale length to be an issue, but it doesn't bother me.

when i bought my MIJ VI, the case was super expensive. Gig bag!! and it's been fine for 20 years.

I found that Gator GWE-Bass cases work pretty well.

I keep my Bass VI in a generic gig bag made for a bass.

If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Correction. I just tried mine in a Hiscox Precision case and it fits just fine.

Got a P-case for mine, good fit.

Thanks C.A., I ended up just getting a bass gig bag for now.

My Tour Grade Travel Armor Bass fitted soft case that I bought for my J-Bass fits my Bass VI like a glove. Snug and secure. There's a little extra length at the top, but the body and neck are very secure and the instrument can't move inside. Lots of storage too.

This is a very good price.

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

I was asked about how well my Tour Grade Armor Bass Fitted Soft Case fits my Bass VI. There's a little extra room above the headstock, but the body and neck are very secure and the instrument does not more around at all. This is how they fit together.
