V BASSman

Hello bass-lovers, I've got the original V Bass case but it's falling to bits. Unfortunately I've just bought a new one from "flightcasewarehouse" and it's a disaster! Feels like it's made of lead, it's really badly weighted, has no storage inside for stuff and is rediculously huge...We all make mistakes, but if anyone knows of a genuine case for sale, or know of good case repairers in the Bristol area, I'm all ears.

Hello there, I'm the V-ery proud owner of the rare gibson V bass. but it looks like heavy short scale strings are even more rare! I use DADG tuning and would prefer a 110 bottom end but no one sells this...Suggestions anyone??
