jalapeno Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Newb question: Any suggestions for housing a Yamaha Bex4 bass. I've just won one off Ebay and want to house it in something better than the box it came in. Acoustic bass cases/bags look too deep to me, but happy to be proved wrong. Ta for answers & tolerance ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You might be surprised how well it fits in a normal electric bass case actually. I was when I got my Ibanez semi-acoustic. It fits in my cheaper gig bags, but not the Ritter ones which are a tight fit even for my Jazz bass. If you're near a music shop, mosey on down with your bass and see what they got...

jalapeno Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'll have to get the tape measure out - it is a 34" scale. Will report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveFry Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My Epiphone Zenith has similar dimensions and only fits in one of my gig bags .

If the Fusion one I've ordered takes too long to arrive I'll cancel and try one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yes, and kind of.. Tribal Planet as such is sadly defunct after the death of the founder, but we now do the follow-on which off the same kind of protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'd look out for a Protection Racket bag - pretty generous dimensions and good padding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalapeno Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Fusion F3 fits very snugly, thanks for the help ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
