Cases

[whyachi]

Does anyone have an idea for a case (pref. hard case, but a good gig bag will work) that'll fit a Fenderbird bass?

I only found one when I was looking:  A Ritter Classic

It does the trick for me - but I'm not gigging with this bass.

I heard that the Eppiphone cases were a very very tight fit - so I avoided them.

while we are talking cases anyone have issues fitting a Z guitar body in normal cases??? or gigbags???

We should have a "Build your own case" thread here. How hard can it be?

Looks like a good time to start BYOC, (build your own case) website

BYOC (Build Your Own Clone) May have something to say about that. But yes, that would be cool. I remember seeing somewhere a guy make a double guitar case with red snakeskin tolex.

Funny enough, that's one of the winter projects I had planned.  Redo the foam and fabric inside of my 335 case to fit the L5S better.  The towel thing is getting old.

A long time ago, I had a Fender Strat that came with a hardshell case, probably SBK, or something like it, when I bought it used.  Well, I also used to have a very ornery old cat.  So one day the cat pissed in the case (good thing for the cat that the guitar was not in it).  I found the evidence quickly, and I proceeded to pull out all of the fuzzy lining, thinking that I could just replace that, but nooooooooo  cat piss has a way of lingering.  Sooo, I pulled out the formed foam, and was left with just the hard shell of the case.  I went to a local foam distributer and was able to talk my way into walking out with a free piece of scrap foam of the approximate density of what had been in the case.  I used an e-xacto knife to cut out the shape of the guitar.  Next I went to a fabric store and bought some black fuzzy material by the yard for a couple bucks.  Some spray adhesive, and some extreme patience on my part to get the fabric to fit into the curves and crevices, and voila!  A rebuilt guitar case, sans cat pee.  Not really building a case, but a funny story nontheless.
