I use a Gator gig bag that was designed for a regular sized resonator banjo. The extra room for the resonator gives almost enough room for my long necks to fit in it. I was short about 1/2 inch so I simply used a hammer to pound down the styrofoam a little at the headstock end of the case (being careful not to tear the felt lining). I've been using it for a couple years now and I can't imagine ever using a hard shell case again. This "bag" is semi-hard shell but light weight and I love the fact that I can carry it with the shoulder straps like a back pack. I tried to upload a picture but it doesn't seem to work.

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
