This will probably be the last question before I get a Bongo. Has anyone tried to see if a 5'er will fit in a Gator case? I have one already and it would be nice if it would fit in it.

You thinking of a four banger or a fiver?

My friend has a gator case so I tried it out and NO DICE. The 4 would fit no problem but the 5 is too Long.

A fiver for sure. I'll probably bring that case with me to the TB GTG this Saturday. If you don't mind, I'll see if your 5er fits.

You can bring it along, but I can already tell you that the fiver is way too freakin' long to fit.

Well shoot! I was hoping a 5er would fit the Gator Case. I'll probably bring my kit P in it anyway. The case I usually use for it is pretty beat up.

I've read all th threads about Bongo cases and when mine arrived on my side of the pond it was in a robust gig bag. I like to move my basses in a hard case when going to a gig so just out of interest I wondered if it would fit the case my SR5 came in. Bingo Bongo. I have no idea who makes this case but it did originate in the USA. As you can see the Bongo 5 fits a treat.
Is this an official EB case or another make?

Wow, that sure looks a lot like my Gator case. I guess I'll find out this Saturday at the GTG whether or not it will work when I try one of Jack's Bongos in it. Of course, that headstock is a little long and I do own saws...... 
Does that case have MusicMan stamped into it on the top?

Nope. It's just plain. The case has no identification on it at all.

Then it looks like it is very similar to my Gator case. I do know that my Gator case is quite a bit longer than my SKB Freedom case. My SR4 fits in the SKB with plenty of room to spare.
What I'm curious to is how the fiver's headstock is so much bigger than the four... Or any other Music Man bass for that matter. Let's all take a moment to remember the Sterling's headstock. Also, the four's headstock has always looked a tad smaller than a Ray's in my oppinion *Checking now
Well i'm not too great with imperial, but the Ray's 8-3/4" long and the Bongo4 is 8-1/8"
Time for you american's to shine.

Looks like a TKL case.
