pantherairsoft Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hi guys, can anyone recommend a decent am case or amp bag for my MArkBass SA450 head. I am trying to avoid paying £90 odd quid for the Markbass one, as much as I would love it... I would prefer a bag over a flight/brief case style bt will consider anything that people have some experience and success with. I have tried all the local shops for a standard padded messenger style bag, but have not found one that is large enough for the head...

RussFM Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Wouldn't a 2U rack bag do the job for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ah, yes... I should of said.... A 2U rack bag would be fine... but I do not have the rack ears as I bought my SA450 without them, and with a set of rack ears costing the same as the rack bag I was looking for other options... That does still work out cheaper than the MarkBass bag though so is currently the best option! I am happy to just have a case and bag I just take it out of/put it back into for transportation and storage though... its no big stress to do so.

pantherairsoft Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Found this... Seems pretty good for the price and no worries about it fitting or not!

yorick Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Decent laptop bag? I use one for my LG350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even those which claim to have internal dimensions big enough, just don't without a serious squeeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite light (aluminium) and come with a strap though it would be painfully thin if the case was holding something heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 My heart says spend £40 and get a bag made to size, my wallet says sod that! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I use a little case from B&Q, they were £16 for two different sized cases. They're £20 now so not such a good deal: [url="http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9676728&fh_view_size=10&fh_eds=%3f&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB%2fcategories%3C{9392071}&fh_search=case&fh_refview=search&ts=1257527124136&isSearch=false"]http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?acti...;isSearch=false[/url] I use one for my LMII and the other is good for leads and the odd pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
