There are definitely some overpriced ones out there at the moment.

I guess the Burns is the same as in Ormston-Burns, but beyond that... pretty radical shape for 1959 I think! Might be too early for a truss rod? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/burns-weill-bass-guitar-/262135542040?hash=item3d087ef118:g:E2AAAOSwhcJWQNjq

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1446971670' post='2903738'] You could visit a shop that stocks Casady bass and try your bass in the case. [/quote] I'll be trying that. Thanks There's probably somewhere in Bristol or Southampton.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1447078356' post='2904618'] For that bass aren't you going to need a full size acoustic bass guitar case, rather than the semi-acoustic styles that have been suggested?

The body is less than 6cm deep (front to back), so the 16- or 18cm acoustic cases look to me as if the bass will not be properly supported. I may yet have to go that route and build a (removable) false bottom in an acoustic case, but that's a lot of work for a case which is going to take up more space than I can spare.

Aria Sinsonido. Weighs maybe 4.5lb, 34" scale, "piezo" pup only. About £400 new, IIRC.

Possibly. I like the idea, just not sure if I'd be able to afford it.

Not looking good. Stagg don't do anything for a semi-acoustic. AFAICT Warwick ditto. Hagstrom and Guild are short scale. It's not easy to get any dimensions for a non-generic case - not surprising, but not helpful.

Thanks folks; now I have some leads to follow up.

[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1446931315' post='2903645'] What bass is it? Fender do one that fits the Coronado and starcaster. [/quote] Yamaha BEX 4 - this one http://basschat.co.uk/topic/265853-yamaha-bex-4-fretless-now-sold/page__p__2834886__hl__bex%204__fromsearch__1#entry2834886. They don't make them any more.

No idea if they are still for sale. http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/114038290?utm_source=preloved&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AdAlert http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/114067813?utm_source=preloved&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AdAlert

[quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1446144018' post='2897340'] I can't help thinking that it could do with some green fur somewhere ! [/quote] This Bridge mutes ?!

Nobody seems to make them

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1446754712' post='2902160'] Heat a scalpel over a flame then gently ease it down the "slits" for the nut this will melt the glue and the nut will pull out I would advise covering up the fretboard if you have not done this before [/quote] Will this work for that sort of glue? The OP could always try it out on some scrap wood first - he knows what the glue is, so it should be easy to glue some bits together to experiment on.

At least it's not bassalt... What's the body made of? Luthite, I guess.

Lawsuit.

How old is it? How much use does it get? Flats, or rounds, or what?

Probably not suitable for mixed company. Or any company at all. Sorry, chaps.

"Official Licensed FIFA Product"... so someone paid a fee to make and sell these.
