Dood Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Go buy a laptop bag mate!! - They're designed to give maximum protection - and because the F1 is so skinny, it will fit in practically any decent laptop bag. Speaking of which, I have a bag big enough to carry my laptop, F1, leads and recording interface all safely in one! - which means I can record pretty much anywhere and travel light too! Now if Hartke were to make a lil amp.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewm Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 My F500 (same size) lives in the official Markbass bag. The good thing about the official bag is that it's really designed for the amp to live in, not just be transported in. The front and back flaps open to expose all the connections, and there's vent holes in the side for the fan to keep it cool in operation. I've never taken mine out of the bag. So it's a different proposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Actually that looks like it's got more storage space than mine, and is a little cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'd just add that if anyone were planning on leaving the amp in a bag whilst in use, to make sure that the fan vents are not obstructed - as they can get pretty hot inside, even if the case doesn't feel like it's baking. Which could lead to component failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliloquy Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yeah, mine gets pretty warm on the outside, just after 4 or 5 hours home practice. Warm though not hot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yup, I use a laptop bag for my TC RH450. And they're knocking about for nothing at work (the bags, not the amps, sadly). Just right to hold the amp and cables. Dead robust (which is more than some reports say of the TC bag) and fab value - especially when free!

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I bought the GigSkinz bag from Mark when I bought my Little Mark III and have to say that I am really chuffed with it. The amp fits securely inside and is really protected courtesy of the huge amount of padding. Then there are enough other zipped pockets to carry my speaker leads, bass leads, ear plugs, a few essential tools and power cables etc. I would highly recommend this bag.
