Shortscale Jaguar Bass CASE??

Cymbaline · Post by **Cymbaline** » Sun May 13, 2012 2:32 pm

Sorry if this has been asked before, couldnt find anything, but can someone who has a SHORTSCALE Jaguar bass recommend a case for it? I mean I'll get one of the regular Fender G&G cases if it doesn't float around too much, but it would be cool if someone who has one already could point me in the right direction. I have the Squier Jag Bass thats relatively new.

TANKS, I NEEDED DAT

I've just beenusing a standard soft shell for mine. I would guess that a non-fitted case for a Jazz bass would likely fit...
That said, if you take a look at my wife's Squire jaguar Bass SS next to my Jaguar, they're pretty much the same size; the bass might be SLIGHTLY longer... but certainly not longer than a Jazzmaster. With that in mind, any Jaguar/Jazzmaster case should fit it snug as a bug.

I can test it in my Jaguar case on Thursday (or get my wife to test it in the meantime) to give you a definite.

i play one of these and have just been throwing it around. it usually ends up under drums or something when coming to and from shows, but that just feels RIGHT. if i happen upon a case, though... cool.

My Jaguar GUITAR is at my recording studio, in its hardshell fender G&G case, my squier Jaguar BASS is at home, and I won't go to the studio till monday. MAJOR F-ING PROPS to anyone who owns both a Jag and a Jag, if you can tell me if the squier jaguar BASS fits inside the Jaguar guitar case, before I go find out for myself. The sooner the better. If the answer is YES!, I will promptly order another Jaguar/Jazzmaster case for it.

Clock is ticking, GO!

I've got a Jag (guitar) and a Squier Jag SS bass. My bass doesn't quite fit in my Jaguar hard case. Mine's not the official Fender Jazzmaster/Jaguar case though, which should be a little bit bigger to accommodate the longer scale of the Jazzmaster.

Anyone know if they fit in a Mustang bass case?

I don't think there is an official case model for the short scale Jaguar basses. Cool bass - I really like them a lot, and for under $200, you really can't go wrong with them. I'd try a Jazzmaster case, or just use a really nice gig bag. A good case will probably cost darned near as much as the bass did.

Yeah, that was kind of putting me off but I do like having proper cases for my guitars.

Yeah, the body's a bit smaller, and neck is a bit longer... but, it will fit in an SKB Jazzmaster/Jaguar case, with a tiny bit of play.

That's good to know about the SKB cases - thank you!
