highwayone Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 This has probably been done before but I couldn't find anything so.... looking for a bag or case to house my JC but can't find one to fit and the epiphone case is like rocking horse poo to find!! Anyone managed to find a bag or case that it would fit into? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whizzzy Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Fender sell a gig bag for the Coronado which is their part number 099-1622-206. On the basis that my Fender Coronado fits in the JC Epiphone hard case I think there is a good chance that the Jack Casady will fit in the Fender gig bag. Having said that the Fender gig bag is again not all that easy to come across, but it may broaden your options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highwayone Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) I had a Warwick Star Bass and it fitted the Casady case, which I bought. Thomann do a case that they say fits the Star Bass...could be worth checking? Edited March 18, 2018 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio GC Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 https://www.gak.co.uk/en/epiphone-premium-solidbody-bass-guitar-gigbag/901767?gclid=Cj0KCQjwzcbWBRDmARIsAM6uChXEJdgk9DgYwNumbLS9dIBSGkk3yvEuTlttcfLvVWZ825E-r4XyvuYaAthGEALw_wcB I use this one. Little bit of a tight fit to get the zipper over the widest part of the body, but not too bad. Nicely padded and plenty of room for straps, cables etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Don't have the JC but do have a semi acoustic which caused me similar grief. I found an acoustic guitar case fitted the bill perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks Peter. I went for the 20th Anniversary JC mainly for the fact that it came with a gig bag, but the front pocket is useless so id like something a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothingman Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I got this last year for mine. Really good for the price. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004LAE7SG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I think Fender have revamped their range since I got a gig bag for mine, but there's a long and short scale acoustic bass bag that I guess is a similar product. Can't see any dims tho. Edited January 12, 2019 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio GC Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The Epiphone gig bag works well. Nicely padded and not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more to show the scale of the bag against the bass. Unless the bass has an absolutely enormous lower bout it looks like it'll fit nicely. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbs664 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Gear For Music do a good range of acoustic bass cases & bags. I ended up going for this for my Gretsch, as being a long scale it was about the only thing that I could guarantee wold fit.

neepheid Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I think it's shocking that Epiphone don't include a gig bag with what is their flagship instrument. They managed to do it for the 20th Anniversary model after all. I have had good results with Warwick's Rockbags for semi hollow bass. I think they're intended for their Star bass but fit the JC well.

At seperate times I've had the GFM acoustic bass hardcase which was massive for a short scale semi Ibanez Artcore AFB 200 , the actual Epihone JC hard case for a 5 string Starbass and the Warwick Rockbag which is a nice fit for my current 4 string Starbass. The other case I have in which a Starbass fits is a Blake Bravo semi hard case which is now discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 So… The Protection Racket 7054-00 Acoustic Bass Guitar Case dimensions are : 17" x 50" x 5 1/4" Jack Casady dimensions are : 16 3/4" Wide x 46" Long x 3 1/4" Deep. Do you think all that extra space will be too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 It can be, as your Bass just rattles around in it unless you pad it out, which rather defeats the objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingmar808 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 If anyone's still following this topic... Can't believe no one has mentioned these - they do the job really well. I got it for a Precision, but it also fits my Hagstrom Viking. If it fits the Viking, it'll fit an Epi JC. It's Thomann's top of the line, 30mm padding, loads of pocket storage, straps etc - really good product. https://www.thomann.de/ie/thomann_e_bass_gigbag_premium.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
