Re: Flight cases

Per,
Chek this bag for FCB1010 at Thomann's
http://www.thomann.de/thoiw9_rockbag_rb23096_effektpedalgigbag_prodinfo.html

Speaking of weight the flight case for my Boogie is 18kg, with the boogie inside it's around 50-55 kg!! Fortunately it's on wheels. Lifting it inside my Celica trunk by myself is another story.

As for the bag I got one for my pedal but since I just bought it I can't vouch for it. So far so good though,the FCB is not really fragile to begin with so I'm not worried. If I was to check it by plane I would wrap the pedal into something just in case.

Hi All,

I'm shopping after some good packaging for my instruments. I found a
"Peli" case with the correct measures, but it seems way too heavy
with its 12,7 kg!!! Even before you start packing it you are already
more than halfway to that merciless over weight fee limit. I guess
Peli is not to consider "FLIGHT case", or maybe that brand is
designed for well paid NASA engineers and alike ;-)   Anyway, I need
to get something light and hard that can take a FCB1010 and some more
stuff. Any advice? (Zoe Keating once suggested a violin case and rip
out the stuffing, which is an option that I'm about to check out as
well).

Or am I totally wrong here? Does a good case have to weight in on
12.7 kg?
