Hardshell case for squier jaguar short scale
- Thread starter Danthedude
- Start date
Sadly, the only case I can find that is specifically built for Fender short-scale basses is as expensive as the bass itself.

However, based upon this thread…
Hard case for Fender Mustang?
…it looks like you might be able to make a hardshell or lightweight, polyfoam SKB case work with a little extra padding. I have one of each of these…

…and both are great.
And don't let the "Soft Case" name fool you. From an account or two, that polyfoam siding is pretty damn tough, to the point where even if it gets cracked or shattered, it should be able to absorb one, solid, fatal-to-a-bass blow. I'm traveling to a convention soon and will be bringing one of my treasured parts-basses in the soft case. The molded one is tougher, but the soft case is lighter, has backpack-style straps for ease of transport and extra, exterior pockets for goodies.

Thanks for doing all this work! The Squier VM Jaguar SS is a a little bigger than the Mustang and Bronco, but you've given me some great ideas!
I wound up building my own with 1/4" plywood n 1 x4 pine. Hardware from rockle r crushed velvet from walmart. Heavy but bout bulletproof.
I'll try to post 1 r2. Could take a while. This thing is harder to play than bass!Cool! I love a great DIY project! Got any pictures?
Heavy won't work in my case. I need something my 10 year old son can easily carry on the school bus.
I have a Mustang and this case by Michael Kelly Guitars worked perfect. Picked it up at Sam Ash. Michael Kelly 1950s Electric Guitar Hard Case | SamAsh

Best bet for you is probly a padded gig bag. They weigh next to nothing. The more padding the better! I'm really starting to enjoy my jag! Cheap sounds great, plays well. Deserves more respect than it gets I think!
Hey all, I just found a Douglas case on Rondo's site that is designed for a baritone guitar and claims to fit the Squire Jaguar SS bass. They even have pictures showing it fits! Baritone Case
