Bag for TB

[drbassman]

OK, here's a genuine Gibson bass question.  Which gig bags would fit a T-Bird?  I need a case for my restored NR.  I know I'll probably never find a real one from the 60's so I'm thinking gig bag for now.  I know you know.

I use a BC Warlock gig bag for mine and fits fine.

 Usually  I would be dead set against a bag for a bird but your maple necked bird should be fine in one.

I found a decently padded Road Runner bag at GC that fits.

The Ritter shape TB Rev bags fit the NR snugly - all you have to do is turn the NR on its face (strings down) when putting it in - voilà, the bass doesn't care or mind.

Uwe

and does this fit an RD artist too by any chance?

[uwe]

Yes, you don't even have to turn it face down for that - actually fits an RD great, use it all the time.

Thanks guys.  Since I now have two NR TBs without cases, I figured bags would be fine for storage.  I don't think I'll be taking the 60s NR restoration out too much after all the work I put into it, but the all-maple NR is going to get out a lot if it sounds half as good as I think it will.  In fact, it will be finished today.....if I can find some strings to put on it!

It's made for the NR body, but not sure about it fitting the headstock. There is another auction for an Epi Goth T-bird and it has a B C Rich bag like John mentioned.

Length is the problem   At least that's what I've told.....

Someone pointed me at the Warwick Rockbag and the dimensions are very generous.  Of course I never found an online retailer that had one

[drbassman]

I'm gonna check with my local shop first to see what they have.  I'd love to try one before buying.

How about a Rok Sak?  They have an actual TB model.

"Rok Sak" - brilliant name!

Check these guys out, custom cases. http://www.maxlinemusiccases.com/guitarcases.html

[drbassman]

Man, those bullet-style cases are massive.  I would really prefer an old fashioned wood case, but the all of the custom guys want $300 plus and I'm ready to drop that kinda money on a case!  Yet........
