Flight Cases

[jimmieb]

I'm in the market for a new flight case for my pedal board. I've looked at TM Cases, DanDee Cases, and NGM Cases. I like the TM case the best, probably because he's local in Anaheim (no freight!). Actually TM's are very cool and well made. They have this very cool second level that you can fit a Voodoo Power Supply under and another pedal on top. The second level moves side ways to make room for a Wah or Volume Pedal. The down side for me is having to remove the board from the case not just remove the top. Anyone have some suggestions? Honestly all these cases have nice features, I'm having a hard time deciding. I'm also looking to get a Flight case for my amp.

Are you looking for a new pedalboard, or just a case for your pedal board to fit in? Check out www.trailertrashpedalboards.com (http://www.trailertrashpedalboards.com) for pedalboards. He can get you one with a flight case as well. They are SWEET.

WOW! Those boards are amazing, maybe a little more than I'm looking for. I'm not sure if the budget will allow. There are a few other pedals I'd Rather have.

Who makes the flight cases for your guitars?

[Suriel Zayas]

i have used a few manufacturers over the years. however, when the tour manager found out i was taking 5 guitars on my last tour, he had rockhardcases.com (www.rockhardcases.com) build me a special road case that fitted all my guitars in there cases. here are a few other companies i have dealt with in the past...casextreme.com, (www.casextreme.com) flightform.com, (www.flightform.com ) & affordable-cases.com. (www.affordable-cases.com) flight cases for a single anderson can run from around $300 (economy) to $600 (sturdy, tight-form-fit, and very heavy).

if you have fly dates and have to carry your own gear, can't beat a calton. they are small and light. not cheap, but worth it.

+1 on calton. my collings acoustic does not do many fly dates, however, lives in one from the day i have it.
