We mangled this thread half a year ago and as one thing I learned  
then (posted by Zoe Keating) I that you can buy a violin box and rip  
out the interior foam to get a nice FCB box. But then I found this  
bigger flight case (Peli case) that is long enough to store a FCB  
plus other things, so I went for that solution instead. There is a  
less expensive brand available, as an alternative to Peli, that Jeff  
Keiser has. We compared them during Y2K6 Looping fest Santa Cruz and  
it seemed that Jeff's was as good as Peli although NASA uses Peli for  
their instruments (but they do not loop - well... eventually around  
the moon, but not in music... I think).

I also have a softcase/gig-case for the FCB which is fine when you go  
for local gigs. But as usual with those soft cases the zippers break  
too easily. My zippers were good for one week and that was four years  
ago. I still use the softcase now and then but I have to wire it up  
with a huge rubber band. Not very pro  ;-))
