TheRinser Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hello everyone, happy new year! I've had my AH600 for a while now, it's mint condition and I'd like to keep it that way. The more I gig with it the more worried I get that the wooden trace rack sleeve isn't really giving it the protection it needs. It's pretty much just going in the boot of my car and occasionally in a van, but I really don't want the back or front to get scratched/gouged/knackered. I've been looking at a 3U plastic rack case from flightcase warehouse. I called them up to ask if I'd be able to get the front panel on over my trace UV thing, as this takes up the bottom unit and overhangs a bit (can't remember quite how much by). I needed to know if the inside bottom edge of the front panel was curved like the outside, or if it was a right angle. They were generally unhelpful and uninterested and suggested I find a shop in London, try it out and if it fits give them a call, rather than measure the inside of their case. Unfortunately I can't find any other 3U plastic cases about or I'd happily take my money elsewhere. So... Does anyone know of anywhere else I can get a cheap(ish) 3U case which would fit a '97 trace? It doesn't need to be the strongest thing ever, just needs to not fall apart going in and out of a car, and stop cosmetic damage (and preferably be lighter than Trace's wooden beast). Cheers, Tom PS - Happy new year again, hope it's a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi mate I have racked my TE amp, albeit not one with the UV light fitting at the bottom. However, I have a Stagg 4u case and the lids are about 3 to 4 inches deep themselves, so would easily cover the protruding light casing.

TheRinser Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Cheers for the reply Neil! Is the case you have one of the metal ones? I've been on the lookout for a plastic 3U case but can't seem to find one anywhere other than flightcase warehouse, and from the look of the front cover it seems pretty shallow...

The front cover has enough space to clear the end of the jack...and some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
