Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) I don't have a classic 50s P bass, but the only hard case I use for my '81 Pbass is a hiscox liteflite bass case.

police squad Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I have my 1982 pbass special in a gear 4 music tweed case and it's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I think you'd be hard pressed to find a case that didn't fit one. Pretty much any generic case would fit, plus the scores of fitted ones for P or J basses. My current fave is the SKB-44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoBass Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I’m very happy using a lightweight Harley Benton LightCase (£41). Fits on the back seat of the car and is a good compromise between a plastic or wooden hard case and a well padded gig bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I think it would be hard to do much better than a Hiscox STD-EBS. I've got a proper flightcase with a CNC cut foam interior and I'm not sure it offers a great deal more protection - it's just a lot heavier and more awkward.

Lozz196 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Going by the amount of Fender basses for sale that come with Fender hard cases that have damage on them I’d say Hiscox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 SKB FB4. It's the only case I found that you could shake and the bass doesn't move. Not the cheapest option but I tried a good few before discovering them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 After going through three hard shell cases for my Pbass I switched to well padded heavy duty gig bags . That old Pbass looks like it went through the Boer War. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimelliottbassist Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 Thanks I decided on a Mono gig bag in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
