pantherairsoft Posted November 4, 2009 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... Shep Quote
RussFM Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Wouldn't a 2U rack bag do the job for that? Quote
pantherairsoft Posted November 4, 2009 Author 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. Quote

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

Even those which claim to have internal dimensions big enough, just don't without a serious squeeze Quote
cLepto-bass Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I recently got myself one of [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=36796"]these[/url] and it works a treat. £15 is a damn good price too. Quote

They are quite light (aluminium) and come with a strap though it would be painfully thin if the case was holding something heavy. Quote
pantherairsoft Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 My heart says spend £40 and get a bag made to size, my wallet says sod that! ;-) Quote
lemmywinks Posted November 6, 2009 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
