Members BadRonald Posted August 10, 2008 Members Share Posted August 10, 2008 Do you tour out of town? I can't see why anybody would want to lug around road cases to local gigs. That's ridiculous. Just buy a nice cover. My amps look great, they're not new, just by having decent covers on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarstar81 Posted August 10, 2008 Members Share Posted August 10, 2008 I've played with a band that had cases that held a 4x12 on the bottom, then some padding and a shelf, then the head, and a few rack spaces above that. The front lid was thick, lined with heavy duty foam, and had a cutout for a guitar, which was strapped in securely when in transit. Casters on the back so you weren't rolling a top heavy rig around on uneven sidewalks/parking lots/streets etc. Very cool case design, with one trip being all it took to bring all your gear inside. They were still manageable with two people, but definitely heavy. To the OP, I'd check out Affordable cases, Angstrom, Maxline. I've heard good things about all. My cases came from RockHardCases (Live in headcase) and Calzone (4x12.) RockHard was okay, but the springs on the handles broke fairly quickly (they stick out all the time now) and they said they could do a rush for me as I was leaving on tour in 2 weeks, and they didn't even start on the case until after I had left. Calzone was a better experience, although a bit expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarstar81 Posted August 10, 2008 Members Share Posted August 10, 2008 did you play with kil hannah...llol no, Hawthorne Heights. I've seen a bunch of other bands with those same style cases, though, and I thought they were a great idea as long as you always have someone to help you lift them onto the stage.

Members greg apocalypse Posted August 10, 2008 Members Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just keep in mind with road cases that they do add alot of weight. That is what I hate about them. This is why I'm considering just throwing my rack gear back in my gator rack and just leaving covers on my amps. so annoyingly heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blackba1 Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 {censored}'s bitching about weight Its not so much the weight, its taking something that 1 person can move and making it a 2 person job. Take an AC30 combo for example, put that in a road case and doubt I could get it in and out of my vehicle or navigate any stairs with it. Without a case its heavy, but I could lift it. I often don't have any help. Especially when I am taking gear out of my basement. As I was saying earlier not everyone 'needs' a road case. I try to make moving and setting up gear as painless as possible. That means minimizing weight where possible. If I get tired from dragging the gear in or the other guitarist hurts his back again, that affects the show. Just because I try to be smart out my gear and consider weight does not make me a wuss. I could choose to go with all heavy gear and I am sure I could lift it, but I choose not to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DyeMusica Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 Do you tour out of town? I can't see why anybody would want to lug around road cases to local gigs. That's ridiculous. Just buy a nice cover. My amps look great, they're not new, just by having decent covers on them. Although my band does play out in Vegas, Prescott, and Flag on a regular basis I do think they come in handy for local stuff as well. Especially when you play, and you want to hang around the gig. Last month we did a show at the Venue of scottsdale, and afterwards I rolled my two cases into the back hall so I could go in and have a drink and watch the other bands. I went out to check on them, and some guy was trying to roll them away! But the good thing is, with cases, you can run a long cable lock through them to a pole, or just chain em all together. THe anti theft and anti damage aspect has its merits as well... The main reason I use a case is I run a two head rig, and it makes moving two heads WAY easier together than seperatly... Not disagreeing, just sayin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockapede Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm liking the EWI case I got from audiopile.net. I know they're cheaper, but I can't for the life of me see anything wrong or fragile about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerryP Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 See thats kick ass. What it cost? I'm not sure on the cost because I picked it up second hand in a trade. From what I understand it was built in town by local sound company and the price was the same or less than Angstrom's 1/4" case (this is 3/8") without the added shipping. I think something like $400-450.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greg apocalypse Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 speaking of cases, look what just came up... again. Man I would love this, especially since I run two heads live. But I don't have the $$ or the muscles. Plus I already have a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
