Where to buy ?

[bigd1]

Where can I get a small flight case from, the sort of size for leads and a few pedals etc small case type of thing. I've done a few searches but don't seem to be able to find what I'm looking for, second hand/ used would be good.

Fank EEEeeeeeee

eBay.

I have got several used flight cases from eBay for a fraction of the cost of new ones.

I've had a good look on Evil Bay but not much joy.

Our drummer has picked up loads of really decent second hand flight cases from ebay as well for extremely cheap prices compared to buying them new.

Theres loads on there its just a case of going through all the pages!

I think Maplins used to sell them in various sizes.

Maplins have a set of three for £29.99 (if you're not desperate they sometimes have them on special offer) or some larger coloured ones at £39.99.

might be able to pick up a used peli case on gumtree

something like this

they're a bit on the pricey side but they're indestructible

will last way longer than anything else

There's always Flightcase warehouse

http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/music/index.asp?groupID=2400

I used them for my guitar stands. Quick and easy service

B&Q sell aluminium cases quite cheap, I used a couple as projector carriers for years, and another as a toolkit box, so they'll take a fair amount of abuse............I note a Google search also brings up a firm called
Cases-and-Enclosures.co.uk - who look worth a punt.....

RS, Farnell, Maplins etc.

Used the Maplins tool case types for years, pretty robust if you don't overfill them and strain the latches. Often on half price sales at the right time of year.

If you want to stretch your £££ look at small hand luggage sized suitcases or laptops cases in charity shops - probably get sorted for a couple of quid. Might not look as cool, though.

I used a small Carlton suit case. It took about 20 years to fall apart. Very tough if you don't need a proper full-on flight case. I replaced it with a Maplin style case which is tough enough for local gigging
