This thing fits all of my basses! Even my wide cocobolo 7 fretless. I'm amazed. I picked up a guitar one for my status 5 and it was perfect. Now if the bass bag fits the 10er I'll be over the moon but thats 2 days away to find out. Oh, got it through Amazon, no tax or shipping. Just passing it on. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7236 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - 2:13 pm:    What are the interior dimensions? gregduboc Senior Member Username: gregduboc Post Number: 510 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - 2:22 pm:    Is this it, Danno?

It's internal dimensions are 50" x 16-1/4" x3" It was large enough to hold my 1976 series 1, long scale and point body. I have shipped a couple of basses overseas in this case and there has never been a problem.I think they are being discontinued so get one while you can. Around $110. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 4758 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - 8:44 pm:    Another endorsement of the Body Glove. I use their bass hard-sided bag for my 1977 Series I 12 string with the LONG knobby peghead. A great hybrid "bag".

But it is not enough for these. (a little short of 50") I am still looking for the best one.

VERY nice, one of the few bags I would trust for an Alembic. I've always been very fond of Reunion Blues, not cheap, but high quality by people that do their homework.

There are 7 left. http://cgi.ebay.com/Body-Glove-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Moisture-Wicking-Case-/360310465604?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item53e42d6444 precarius Advanced Member Username: precarius Post Number: 332 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Thursday, February 24, 2011 - 9:10 pm:    Eiji - I use it for a Series 1 and it fits great. My Series 1 has a regular crown headstock and point body. Does your 5 string have a 35 inch scale or larger headstock? room037 Advanced Member Username: room037 Post Number: 384 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 1:09 am:    Hi Mike, My 77' 5 strings is 34 inch standard with omega, but larger Fan head. There is no room arround the top, and the bag is slightly stretched with zip it. By the way, do you think about neck support ? Body Glove has no support. I am afraid neck-head tension. Eiji precarius Advanced Member Username: precarius Post Number: 333 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 8:26 am:    EiJi- You are right, there is no neck support. I cut a couple of supports out of styrofoam and wrapped it in black velvet. Mike briant Senior Member Username: briant Post Number: 548 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 8:47 am:    That Reunion Blues case looks nice though I'm still partial to my InCase. Sadly it looks like the InCase bags are unavailable (again). They have a semi-rigid frame and tons of soft cushioned support for the neck inside. There are ample compartments for sticking cables, a tuner, a mic, sheet music, spare batteries, wire cutters, strings, etc… all the essentials. The carrying options are also fabulous: simple handle on the top, a large single strap, or (what I use most) the backpack option. My longest bass is my Rogue 5 string (35” scale) and it fits without issue. Though I have doubts about some of the larger body instruments fitting (signature deluxe, series basses). dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1347 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 8:55 am:    I have an incase and wanted to get another but as you stated, not available. Also my wide body basses don't fit in it. The shoulder strap is great and other bags don't include it. But I can switch it over if need be. dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1348 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 - 2:47 pm:    Officially over the moon. The 10er fits! Wonderful surprise compounded. room037 Advanced Member Username: room037 Post Number: 385 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Saturday, February 26, 2011 - 3:52 am:    I took the pictures with Body Glove hybrid bass. This is my 77' LSB 5 Omega in the bag. There is no room above the headtop. This is my 76' MSB 5 Point in the bag. There is small room, but it will be needed point body guard on inner bottom. I also use the neck support. I think Body Glove hybrid bass will be fitted for following. MSB Omega (but 8 string knobby ?) MSB Point LSB Omega with Crown or smaller head. Eiji smalls New Username: smalls Post Number: 3 Registered: 3-2011 Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2011 - 5:52 pm:    the continental is the only bag I could find that would fit my KSD proto-j 705. 35"scale 5 string jbass-48" long. If it'll take that, pretty much anything should fit. lalogarcia Junior Username: lalogarcia Post Number: 50 Registered: 8-2009 Posted on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 - 4:22 am:    This one came with an FBass I recently bought; it works with my long scale Alembic series basses! http://fbass.com/accessories.php they also make a double one.... pasewark Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 71 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - 3:42 pm:    I do design work for Reunion Blues. Check out this video on their RB Continental cases. They're great cases. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03JU695A6hE sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1691 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - 3:58 pm:    Scary movies give me insomnia But it looks like it works __________ pasewark Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 73 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - 4:01 pm:    This July will be my third trip to NY with my Guild Starfire bass. I hope to be picking up an RB bag this week. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1692 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - 4:31 pm:    It's good to know that it will fit a Starfire !
