thanks. but the Vantage is a short scale. most V basses are. Dean being the exception. i think the old aluminum neck Kramer V's were 32"

All Gibson and Epiphone cases are short scale, a long scale Flying V won't fit. OTOH, like Dadagoboi says, all Dean Flying Vs (or whatever they call their similar shaped models) are long scale or even extra-long scale, their cases are aircraft carriers even dwarfing long scale Explorer cases. No worries about the bass size then, you might just need a wider car (no joke, my Dean Flying V cases are too wide for even my Volvo V-70's backseat compartment and that is not a narrow car by any means).  Or always transport them lengthwise in driving direction in which case you need a station car. Oh, when I still had the Volvo XC-90, that fit in width, but only barely.
i love the Univox. such a fun little bass. my bridge pup is dead and after i get that either fixed or replaced i wanna find the humbucker version with a maple fingerboard.

If that's the Hi-Flyer, Eastwood makes a clone and I think their pickups will fit.
