I originally got that case with an old Silvertone guitar.Later, I put a Danelectro Pro in that case and sold to a friend.When I bought the Duo-Sonic I asked if he still had the Fender case and he said I could have it. I think the case was originally made for a Bronco or Musicmaster bass.

The case seems like a snug fit to the body, but it has a lot of extra head room.

Yah those are the og. cases for Musicmaster Basses. They don't show up all that often with the bass though. I would imagine they fall apart or something as they look a tad flimsy.

Hmm,I don't know.Do they make pickup covers that fit?

A friend just sent me an email asking if I want to by his 1957 Duo-Sonic. His description:

"It has the gold anodized pickguard in perfect shape, is all original except for the tuners (they are in a baggie and the replacements are vintage correct so no new holes had to be drilled), it comes with the original case, original strap, original pickups, etc. It sounds very nice, and fretwear for something so old is minimal."

What do you think it is worth?

'57 Duo-Sonic in good shape? I'd say $1,200 - $1,500 depending on the buyer/day/etc. They can go for a lot more or a lot less, but that seems to be the going rate.

There's one on eBay right now with a $2,800 BIN, but that seems high to me. Bidding is at a little over $1000 with 2 days left.
