Members RIC N BACKER Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 I have an Epiphone Thunderbird that I need either a Harshell case for or a good Gig Bag. Who has the Epiphone Tbird Hardshell case and is is made well? Anyone have the MF Elite Gig bag? How is it? Also, I am looking for some new strings. Whats the difference between Nickle and Stainless besides the obvious? thanks Oh yea...I have a like new in box Dunlop original crybaby Wah I bought a few years ago. Used it 3-6 times when I was thinking about playing guitar. Been sitting in the box ever since. I am looking to sell it. What should I ask $60??

Members bassplayer7770 Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 If I was buying a case today, I'd seriously consider a lightweight "hard" case. I have no idea if the T-bird would fit, though... http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gator-Lightweight-Bass-Case?sku=546099 I think there are a few others in that same price range.

Members Renfield Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 Ritter makes a great gig bag for bass. The place I work I can buy it and/or a decent hardshell made specifically for Epi tbirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move along, that won't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 Where might that be and do they sell to the public? Ritter should be available in the US, don't ask me where I only work for the Canadian distributor, sorry. Same for the cases, its a major manufacturer, but we only ship to Cdn stores, so no access to who/where US dealers are for the brand. The brand that makes them makes Gibson's cases for them too (full line, not just tbird), I am sure they are in stores, but sadly, can't help you on that one either. But I do know that they have a specific case for tbirds and it's the longest one in the catalog. Explorer shaped guitars fit in a standard rectangular bass case, but only a tbird case will fit one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slapthefunkyfour Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 I use one of these for my tbird. It's a little tight, but it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 I use one of these for my tbird. It's a little tight, but it fits. That must be a seriously loose fitting bag on a normal bass then. In a pinch I once put my tbird in a gig bag that normally held my Jazz V Deluxe (read that.... 5 inline tuners) all comfy like. I had to put the bass in backwards to get it inside at all and literally the entire headstock protruded from the top. The zipper came right up to the nut, almost exactly.

Members zachoff Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 Why not contacting a Gibson dealer? I'm sure they could order one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
