brensabre79 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I've just purchased myself a semi-acoustic bass. An Ibanez Artcore AGB140. It's full scale (not short scale like the newer ones) but it has no case. I can't seem to find one either. There is a hardcase made by Ibanez but this is discontinued. So I was wondering if there was a gig bag out there that would fit? Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The body doesn't look to be that deep and it's 34" scale - any reason why any regular gig bag or hardcase wouldn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Possibly not, but the Ritter ones I have barely fit my Jazz bass, its really snug in there, so even a little extra depth would be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Protetcion Racket [url="http://www.djmmusic.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=GB7051"]electric bass case[/url] is pretty deep front to back, so it may well fit in one of those!

Looper Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I use an old cello soft case for my acoustic, not ideal but if you're stuck you might well find a cheap one on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenochrome Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 A gig bag for an acoustic bass guitar would fit I'm sure, I got one from the gigbag company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Warwick do a few Rockbags for "hollowbody basses", which should fit; one of them says the internal dimensions are 16.5"(W), 46.5"(H), 3.4"(D). You can see their catalogue here: [url="http://www.warwick.de/catalog/en_GB/"]http://www.warwick.de/catalog/en_GB/[/url] (flick through to the relevant pages for dimension info) and you can buy them here: [url="http://shop.warwick.de/?&c=35352310012&lang=en&modul=shop&site=shop_overview_2"]http://shop.warwick.de/?&c=35352310012&lang=en&modul=shop&site=shop_overview_2[/url] But if you get the catalogue number you should be able to get them cheaper from other suppliers (e.g. Thomann).
