It's hard to imagine that it makes for a tight fit; my guess is that a lot of energy would be lost at the neck/body joint. However that may be a trade off worth considering for someone who wants an upright bass that travels easily. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5047 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, January 20, 2012 - 7:26 am:    I still don't think it will fit in the overhead bin! lol Bill, tgo
