Replacement case for a Gibson EB-3 ?

[4005]

I have a friend who's looking for a case to fit her '67 EB-3, other then the Epiphone case is there another that will work?
Cheers,

See if you can order an SG Bass case.

I've bought two SG bass cases on ebay for EB-0's & they work fine, keep your eyes open & they pop up from time to time..................

I note that the auction cheerfully quotes the manufacturer, and I can't help but quote it just to see the responses...

3-Way Adjustable Bridge
Gibson's innovative 3-way adjustable bridge is the standard for simplicity and functionality. It provides you with the ability to adjust and fine-tune the height of the SG Standard Bass' strings in all directions—front, back, and side-to-side. This gives the bridge a floating feature, thus allowing the bass to be equipped with a variety of string gauges and multiple set-up options.

The SG Reissue bass's legendary resonance, tone, and sustain is the result of anchoring the bridge directly into the body at its 3 adjustable points, providing a firm seating for the strings and yielding a strong union between the strings and the body. Readily accessible screws make setting the intonation simple. To this day, Gibson's 3-way adjustable bridge remains an industry standard. It is the epitome of form and function in bass guitar bridge design.


I'm proud to say that my Casady also benefits from this "epitome of form and function."

And true it is, burn the naysayers at the stake! We applaud and praise you Holy Immaculate Three Point!!! When it cometh to elevation, thou knoweth no favoritism, all strings are treateth equally or with a holy slant ...

epitome or not,im sticking with my hipshot supertone.it must be good, its says super in the name.

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.

Nothing wrong with the Supertone at all and one thing it sure doesn't: Look like a Fender bridge! Added to the more modernly convenient adjustmen  possibilities, it gives you a touch more sustain too though that is nothing where Gibson basses have issues in the first place. Someone should stick it on a Fender and see how that sounds.

Would that be the same German engineering that brought us the Amphicar?
