You might try a Gibson 335-12 case
Harry,
Your 335-12 idea sounds like a good one! I figured out how to contact Gibson tech support moments ago to verify the serial number and inquire about cases for it. The case it came with is original, but its very beat up, while the guitar is in great condition. We'll see if Gibson has a lead on it...
Thus far I know that a Starfire 6 string guitar case is too deep for the EB2, after trying it out in my 97' Starfire case. I can see that the EB2 case is made more shallow than the Guild. The profile of the gibson bout is flatter compared to the nicely contoured, and deeper Guild.
After returning from vacation I will begin practicing bass in earnest. Its noteworthy that locally there are a lot of postings in music stores, etc for "bass player wanted". This looks good.
At our Michigan State Folk Music Fest held last week (my 1st time ever) there were a lot of guitar, mandolin, & dulcimer players present, but few bass and dobro... So I decided to go for bass, considering it is more universal of an instrument.
