The case is so little it can fit in my suit case. I missed a great photo opportunity when I was in the airport a couple of weeks ago, and saw someone checking on a standup bass fiddle. It was in a huge plastic Darth Vader shipping case. The _buckles_ on the thing were about the size of my uke. I should have taken a picture of my uke and the bass side-by-side. Anyway, here's a stand-up bass that looks much more portable: the Kona Walkingstick. You still need to carry around an amp, though.
