Talking Trace Elliot V8 Case

Sign in to disble this ad
Alright so I just got my Trace V8 last week and I am now looking for a case for this beast. I don't want this to get trashed inside the trailer with all the other ****, so a case is a must. Now I've seen a few people on here with cases on their V8's, if someone can shed some light on where to find one and about how much they cost, that would be awesome.

Here are some shots of the case I had made for mine:





It's an Anvil case, though I don't recall exactly what I paid for it. I want to say like $250-300, but I am not sure.

that's a pretty slick setup tom, but i'm curous. why did you opt to go with that particular configuration? to me at least, it'd make more sense to have it upside-down from there. where the amp sits in a shallow tray, and the majority of the case lifts off...

diff'rent strokes and all

As heavy as the V8 is, I didn't want to have to lift the case and the head at the same time when I place it on top of a cab. Plus, the handles are on the top, so this arrangement just seemed more practical. It is also allowed me to go with casters.
