Frequently asked questions
What is the main size difference between these two cases?
The Phoenix-II Bass case is designed for standard bass guitars, while the Phoenix-II XL is built specifically for extended-scale and baritone guitars with longer necks and larger bodies that do not fit in standard cases.
Will the XL case work for a standard bass guitar?
While the XL case could physically hold a standard bass, it is purpose-built for extended-scale instruments and would leave excessive empty space, reducing the form-fit protection that makes these cases effective.

The Phoenix-II Bass case fits standard bass guitars. The Phoenix-II XL is confirmed to fit the LTD Phoenix-7 Baritone and similar extended-length instruments with longer scale lengths.
Are both cases suitable for touring and gigging?
