Hi and Happy New Year. This is my first post.
Recently I bought a brand new EBMM Stingray Short Scale bass off the eComm site and it came 7 weeks early .. nice. I like it a lot. I have been playing short scales for a few years now but this my first ever EB. So I'm looking at gig bag cases because the very nice case the instrument came with is a larger heavy duty one which is great for the shipping not so much schlepping.
The Shorty bass is 41.5" long and I believe it would fit in a "guitar" case. A couple years back I tried a Mono Top loading case for my other short scale (Birdsong C-bass) and it fit except up the headstock was too tight and a struggle to zip.. it is the 2 and 2 tuner type plus has a tilted back headstock like a LesPaul guitar. The tuning keys stuck out too far to close the top of the case and I didn't trust it .. returned it. Well this new EB Shorty seems like it would fit so I may try it again. Any experience or recommendations are appreciated. I looked at a number of gig bags and I think I would prefer a 'top loader'. The $269 is pricey for the Vertigo, they offer a sleeve type for $179 but the Vertigo looks worth it maybe??
Good protection for an instrument is worth it in my opinion but I thought I'd ask around because I'm not in a hurry. Thanks in advance.
