Hi all,

I am off on tour with my Ukelele bass later on this year and it Is going to involve at least four separate flights. I need to get a flight case built for it as there seem to be non-available on the market that fulfil this purpose. Does anybody have any recommendations of makers / companies That would able be able to do this without costing an arm and a leg? 

 In reality I’m thinking about something similar to a Hiscox case but for ukelele bass.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks but really it needs to be a properly fitted aircraft-hold-resistant flight case a la Hiscox or very similar. It’s too delicate and not easy to repair / replace if damage did occur en route.

Not the cheapest option but what about a peli case with a custom foam insert? 

these guys offer a few options for custom cases as well as custom foam inserts for peli cases and dave cases (their own brand peli type cases)

https://www.thecasefarm.co.uk/

 

another option might be these guys who build flightcases to order and I believe can do the custom inserts as well, the cases will be super tough but not as light as the dave/peli option

if it was me i'd probably go for one of these https://www.thecasefarm.co.uk/shop/dave/dave-800/   with a custom cut or homemade insert, I think you would have a fair bit of space for di boxes and strings/straps etc as well, it would possibly also work as a hard shell case to take the bass in a gig bag with di boxes etc and some clothes as padding which might cancel out a separate hold bag for shorter trips.
