Raph Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 er... the title says it - can anyone recommend a decent case for a Mesa Boogie 400+? It's currently in a SKB rack which is about 10cm too deep for it, so lots of space at the back, but unnecessarily big, otherwise ok. Also at first even with the fan on it got too hot to touch, so I had to cut holes in the side panels to let air through. I'd happily get a rack case the right size if I could find one but they seem to be either about 250mm deep which isn't enough, or 400mm upwards,. I can get a flightcase made up the right size, but they're so heavy the thing becomes unliftable, and it takes yer arm off as it is, so I'm trying to find a moulded one the right size. Any ideas? PS Yeah, "get a lighter amp"or "do some work outs"... but I mean suggestions [i]apart [/i]from those ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah thought not [/quote] Now... that's SILLY!!! Thanks for trying! I'm resigned to leaving it in the SKB rack. I've been checking out custom rack cases in birch ply and aluminium but they all weigh about 10kg, so I'm better off carrying some empty space than carrying more weight.

I'll ring them and ask. Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Seeing how the sleeve is made for my Titan V12, I'd have a go at making one. The Titan is a rack head just pushed into a sleeve, and a back screwed on. Its going to be seriously heavy whatever you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
