Overwater Original Bass - Hard Case

[jaythestay]

Hi Bass Chat

 

I recently aquired an Overwater Original Bass - I am now after a Hard Case for it as it came with a gig-bag - Does anyone know of any "off the shelf" cases tht would fit

You need an extra long case. I've owned two Originals, one came with it's own flight case which judging by the stickers on it had actually been on some flights, and for the other I was able to source a suitable hard case from my local musical instrument shop amongst their stock of spare used cases in the days when they used to have such things. Both cases were the same internal size (within a few mm) so it would appear that it is a standard, albeit one that isn't very common. Unfortunately I don't have either bass any more so I can't measure them for you.

 

Alternatively you could ask Overwater. IIRC they still make basses with the Original shape as a custom order so they should know of a source of suitable cases.

Might be worth trying a Warwick Buzzard case.

I had one with a 36" scale - an absolute monster that came with its own flightcase (virtually unliftable).  It might be worth trying a Hiscox Large Bass Case (you could check the dimensions at least)

Mine were both 36" scale too. AFAIK all the 5-string versions and the C-bass were.

 

I don't think the 34" scale versions are much shorter overall since most of the additional scale length of the 36" scale basses was achieved by moving the position of the bridge back as far as it would go on the body.
