Members TomCTC Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 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.... Short verison = I am a {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackba1 Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 Short verison = I am a {censored}.So you are telling me you can move your AC30 with its road case up and down stairs and never need any help loading it. I bet your not 6-2 and 180lbs either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet your not 6-2 and 180lbs either... Uh, yeah. Bitch has wheels now. That case is a blessing.It takes maybe 20 seconds at the most to carry it up any amount of stairs or lift it out of a trunk. Even though usually I do have help, but when I don't it's fine.When you used to own an Orange 4x12 with no casters on it and carry that thing all over hell and back for a few months, an AC30 in a case isn't much of a bother.
