A bit of searching answered my own question, the synapse case has a shaped interior to fit the synapse body and the XT doesn't fit : [url="http://www.guitarsend.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=7489975"]http://www.guitarsend.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=7489975[/url] So that counts that one out!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1429227860' post='2749569'] B2AV - neck width about 2mm less on both measurements, overall length including strap pins seems to be 98.5cm (haven't got a tape so I've just been using a 30cm ruler). [/quote] [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1429257918' post='2749665'] And if you look here [url="http://www.steinberger.com/XT25.html"]http://www.steinberger.com/XT25.html[/url] you can find the specs on the XT25 and (if you go from the navigation sidebar) Synapse - a little less detailed than your measurements. The Synapse is an inch longer than the XT25, accounted for by the headpiece which can presumably clamp single-ball-end strings. [/quote] Thanks for that. 2mm neck width difference between the xt25 and B2AV should be manageable and length wise it looks like the B2AV case would fit ok. From the basic specs on the steinberger site it looks like the XT , XT25 and synapse necks are pretty much the same but no body width is given. It's not obvious what the difference between the synapse and the XT case is though. Cheers Andy

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1429143441' post='2748561'] You could maybe get one made ? [/quote] I'd looked at getting one made but it's a lot cheaper to get a ready made case if one exists so I thought I'd try that route first. Andy

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1429031913' post='2747235'] I've got both the XT and Synapse cases, I could measure them tomorrow if that helps [/quote] That might be helpful, would tell me the size difference between the two cases. I suppose a better question for me to ask is are the Steinberger XT, XT25 and Hohner B2AV the same dimensions? Running a quick tape over the XT25 : Width at tuners : 21cm Width at neck joint : 14.5cm Neck width at "head" : 4.5cm Neck width at body : 6.7cm Overall length : 97cm Maximum depth (at back strap button) - 7cm Thanks Andy

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1429022174' post='2747117'] As the first one seems to be for a Steinberger XT bass I'm sure it will fit a Steinberger XT bass. A Hohner B2A five is the same bass so I'm sure that would fit too. [/quote] Thanks, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure if the 5-string neck/body were wider than the 4-string XT. Andy

Hi Folks, I bought a Steinberger XT25 5-string and it came with an gig bag but I'm not sure I'd trust it with the rest of the gear in the van. Searching around on the web hasn't found much but thomann have the cases below. Does anyone know if any of these cases will fit the XT25?

Since a Yamaha NX S70 is a loudspeaker and both the Yamaha logo and model number appear to be stickers on the headstock, I'd say it's a Dearmond bass like this one : [url="http://www.bass-guitar-museum.com/bass-7938-Dearmond-by-Guild-Jetstar-bass-guitar"]http://www.bass-guit...tar-bass-guitar[/url] with the stickers from the speakers stuck over the Dearmond logo. Why? Anyones guess! Andy
