Replacement case for a Gibson EB-3 ?

[Highlander]

Germans and GAS...?

And I always thought I was low pc and would do anything for a pun ...

No, I'm not really lusting. For a 50th Anniversary it's a bit lame.

If you had not kept your helium to yourself that hydrogen explosion wouldn't have happened!

Hey, we tried.  Thousands of guys sniff helium and do inane voices every day in an effort to deplete the world's helium supplies.

But they keep sending that dang hydrogen to Germany because it doesn't make their voices sound funny.

Lefty, Grog & Pilgrim thanks, and Uwe as always thank you for being “you”
Cheers,

is it possible that the engineers that developed the “Land Wasser Schlepper, came to the USA via Operation Paperclip & built this?

"Land-Wasser-Schlepper"? Even I have never heard of that one.

Hiscox make a case that fits EB-0/1/3/4 shaped bodies.  I used one for my EB-4L.  I own several Hiscox basses for my herd - for the money, you won't get any other case that offers the same protection in such a light package.  They are every bit as tough as a full ATA-spec road case.

I'm surprised nobody made a joke about a company called Hiscox. If they make instrument cases maybe they should be called Herbox instead.

But seriously, which Hiscox case fits the EB3? I saw models for Les Paul and SG guitars and others for Fender Basses but nothing about Gibson basses on their site.

The standard case they advertise as fitting Fender also fits the EB-3 (and EB-0, EB-1, EB-4L) - the same case also fits a Rick 4001/3 shape, Stingray, Bongo, Big Al, and lots of others.  The best thing about Hiscox cases, apart from the bullet proof exterior protection, is the fact that it supports the neck so that the headstock is not in contact with the bottom of the case - which is why they are great for Gibsons.  Pity they don't make a case big enough for Thunderbirds.

A friend of mine wanted to buy a T-bird once - but turned it down because the case did´t go into
the trunk of his car!

Good on ya Mark.
