Its a very nice case, but has no manufacter markings on it at all. The bass is a '91, I only know of the older hardshell rectanglular cases, the SKB type and the vintage reissue cases used today. Did RIC ever use this type of case?

Bass Case question
Can anyone identify this case? Its the one that came with my 4003S-5, and the original owner swears that it is the one that came with the bass. It even has a little hang tag that says Rickenbacker 5-string bass.

Re: Bass Case question
That's not a Rick case. For the wooden cases, Rick has used Victoria and after
their demise, G&G. These are easily distinguishable by their capped ends with
2 rows of stitching and piping as well Cheney style latches.
No Rick case that I have ever encountered(but I could be wrong) has ever had
the rounded ends and looped hasp latches.
There was a different molded case before the SKBs but it wasn't used long....
