Frequently asked questions
Will the M-Bass XL case fit a standard short-scale or non-M-series bass?
No. The M-Bass XL case is engineered exclusively for extended-scale M-series basses like the M-4 Black Metal and M-1004. Standard short-scale or other body shapes will not fit properly.
Can the Phoenix XL case accommodate standard-scale Phoenix guitars or only baritone models?
The Phoenix XL case is the extended variant and accommodates the full Phoenix series lineup, which includes both baritone-scale models (like the LTD Phoenix-7 Baritone) and longer-scale Phoenix guitars. It is not designed for standard short-scale instruments.
What is the main construction difference between these two cases?
The M-Bass case features a hard shell exterior with a plush-lined molded cradle. The Phoenix case combines wood reinforcement with a Tolex exterior finish and includes a soft interior lining and molded carrying handle for improved road durability and ergonomics.
Are these cases suitable for touring and frequent transport?
Yes, both cases are designed for gigging and touring environments. The M-Bass case emphasizes impact resistance; the Phoenix case emphasizes weathering resistance and ergonomic carrying comfort over long hauls.
