True, it's not a great case for transatlantic shipping, but it works for transporting the bass locally from A to B as scratch and dent protection. The brace is a little too low, but that can be compensated via putting a piece of cloth or foam on it. That said, with vintage basses in a case I always tend to put all tuners in horizontal position, the extra-effort of retuning is slight in comparison to a neck repair me thinks.
Btw, the sixties Gibson rev and non-rev cases have the same issue. But try finding another case where you can keep a non-rev TB in! Almost all of them are too short for the headstock, so you're happy to find one with enough room even if the brace isn't optimal.
