Way back in the early days of the Internet, there were very few bass saxophone resources. That’s why the [now former] Bass Saxophone Co-op started, and why I created Bassic Sax<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the Bass Sax Co-op’s first projects was to begin hunting down options for replacement cases for vintage basses. I opted to hire a boat builder from St. Andrews, New Brunswick to make my Buescher a new case<\/a>. I documented the experience, and it became a cornerstone in the first version of Bassic Sax.<\/p>\n

Over the years a couple of other Bass Sax Co-op members were talented enough to make their own fibreglass cases. For example, there is this one by Rufus<\/a>, who was kind enough to send me a series of photos that show how the case evolved from raw materials<\/a>, to finished product<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just this week in the Bass Sax Co-op, the issues of bass saxophone cases was raised again, and someone noted that Steve Goodson recently posted a link to a series of YouTube videos by Reliable Hardware<\/a>. These 11 videos will show you how to make your own road cases.<\/p>\n
