DanOwens Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi everyone, I've been chatting to Trifibre about them building me a bag for an EUB and so far they're proving pretty good. Has anyone any experience requesting a custom bag from these guys, or have you used someone else that you can recommend? Ideally I'm after a bag, but any transportation solution ideas will be welcomed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I have nothing to add, but have often wondered about custom cases so will be following this with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOwens Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 A few companies came back to me: Swan Flight, Trifibre, HS Bags and Potterton Pacs have said they could do it for me. Looking at their previous work, Trifibre are a strong leader. Swan Flight were suggesting a CNC cut foam inner to a flight case but that might be a bit overkill for my needs. I'll update this thread but I've made no decisions yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I have always thought about getting LeBlond to make a lightweight but solid case. Trifibre do the LeBlond kind of thing. One of those with a CNC cut innner would be all you need unless someone else is chucking it into the back of an Artic every night. What is the EUB? I have my NS in an Explorer case which is great. Not sure of the model number but this kind of thing - https://www.explorercases.com/en/products/15416/15416-b-copolymer-polypropylene-waterproof-case/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 It is an Explorer 13513 https://www.waterproof-cases.co.uk/product/explorer-cases-explorer-13513-case/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I do realise that neither of these are a bag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a simple, reliable solution more than anything! It's the Yamaha SLB100 I picked up from the classifieds. There's no bag and Yamaha want £500 for their official softcase but the reviews are poor. Custom might prove to be the best solution since it's 170cm long with the endpin retracted.

Owen Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I would be seriously tempted to get LeBlond to make a plain rectangular box to size for it and fill it with foam. The box would not weigh that much. Once it is full of bass you could rivet handles/straps onto it so that it balances correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a box for leads made 18 years ago. It is bombproof. It is light and will take a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
