Due to homeland security issues at the airports, we have been forced to make a radical change to our latching system.  Our unique internal latches required prior knowledge to operate them properly.   Musician can no longer be present to close the case when security personnel open it for inspection.  Without prior knowledge of how to operate the latches, some musicians have received their case at the end of a flight with some latches improperly closed.  We deeply regret having to have made this change, but global issues have given us no choice.  The new external butterfly latches are very secure requiring no prior knowledge as to how to operate them.  

OUR GOAL
Without sacrificing safety and quality, our challenge was to manufacture a upright bass travel case in the United States that maintained or exceeded current standards of structural integrity and ease of operation, at a lower cost then what is available on the market.   Seven years later and over 1000 of our bass cases in use, the SBS Flight Case has proven itself to be a successful competitor in the  bass trunk market.              

HOW WE DID IT

Two main factors contributed to the combination of high quality and low cost.

Listening to our clients: With over 35 years experience addressing the needs of bassists, consulting with musicians at every stage of the design phase, we were able to streamline the SBS Flight Case down to its most essential components. By eliminating unnecessary features and materials, we were able to cut our costs significantly while maintaining the high level of safety and quality that bassists demand. Simplicity in design without sacrificing safety was our goal.

Extensive research: In order to make the most informed decisions , we considered hundreds of samples of hardware and materials, from which we selected the best and most cost-effective combination available.  The SBS Flight Case is the direct result of our continuing commitment to provide all members of the bass community with the highest quality equipment and services at the most reasonable prices possible.
