Looking for a reasonably priced hard case for a Fender Mustang Bass. As far as I can tell, the Fender case is backordered until the end of April. Rondo Music sells a Douglas case, but as far as I can tell, it is very poorly constructed and the reviews of it reflect the construction. Any other hard case out there for this bass?
would a gigbag work?Quote:

This last year not counted, I take them out on about 40-50 band gigs and 40-50 jams that I run a year.
I have a gig bag I could use in a pinch, but sometimes it winds up in the back of my pickup truck and I'd rather have a hard case than a soft gig bag.Quote:

they have 2 in stock
I found someone recommending this gig bag for a Mustang bass.
The hard case for my Lakland (purchased 1999) has never been used. It has spent its life in a gig bag with me playing a six state area up to five nights a week and there is not a mark/scratch/ding on my bass. A quality gig bag will offer the same protection as a hard case and (for me) is much handier to use.

I'll check when they open, but I think it's a guitar case, not a base case. In response to the passenger. My passenger is particularly important to me. She's taken care of me for 38 years. Lets me imbibe in my hobbies and sports. I try to keep her happy.Quote:

No worries. I appreciated the lead.Quote:

I'm glad you found a case for it. With as much interest as there is with Mustang basses now, I'm surprised Fender isn't making dough off after-market cases.
