'Pro' Upright Bass
Flight Case
The Tuff-Lite Pro is a very versatile
case in that it will fit just about any bass and it
is not overly big. The interior case straps: One at
the top scroll, one at the bottom of the neck, 2
across the upper bouts and 2 (across the lower
portions of the belly) make just about any sized
bass fit beautifully and secure. The straps
are just normal black webbing and have easy snap
buckles in the front. The case is equipped to
ship a bass with our without a bass cover.
Most typically, people do fly with their cover
inside and the straps go over and around the bass.
For the player that prefers not to take or use a
cover, the straps will fit directly on the bass
belly. The large felt square pads then protect
the bass from coming into contact with the plastic
buckles.
Notice that we have the interior length as
76-78"? That is because in the rare case that
anyone has such a long bass, (maybe larger 7/8
or 4/4 basses) the case can be extended about
another 1 1/2" by cutting the top support
cushioning. The bass will still be well
cushioned at the bottom, but this will give some
need extra needed length at the very top, by
lowering the bass inside the case.
