Very cool. Nice to see so
Many personalized BaCHbirds.
That was the whole idea when we started it back in
the Dudepit days.

Thanks guys! Even though I had many moments when I regretted starting this project, now I, of course, want to make another one in another color. Ha ha. I'll hold off for a little while though.

Ah, the final piece in the puzzle. The case. So, as we all know, finding a case big enough for these basses is pretty challenging. It took a long time but I finally found the right Epiphone case. Of course, we also all know that you can't find one for a non-reverse so I took some inspiration from Rob's case and decided to go the same route with mine and it worked out perfectly.

Started off with the reverse case....


Ripped out the foam.






I had to cut out the foam piece so I could flip it over to fit the non-reverse shape


I had to glue and tape in some of the foam pieces I cut out to fill in the gaps in order to make it a snug fit.


Here it is all done and fits like a glove.


When looking for a case I was initially trying to find one of the cases that had the body part of it wide open instead of one with the specific body shape so I wouldn't have to go through this whole process. I'm glad I couldn't find one though because in the end I'm much happier that I was forced to get this one because the mod ended up being very easy and the bass fits perfectly now and I would much rather have the bass fit in there very snug instead of moving around in the open shaped case.

That's one sweet bass! Love the black PG on it.

Nice job!

Now all you need is a white bird on the black pickguard!

That really turned out nice. Once you do one of these, there is no stopping.
