Lightweight, 19" rack cases (not bags) recomendations

Sign in to disble this ad
Am looking for a 2 unit, lightweight case for my 13 lb. Walkabout head. Have used a rack bag for the last 20 years and it has finaly worn out; also didn't like the handle straps. Is there a big difference in quality between these lightweight contenders: SKB, Gator, OSP, ProX, TOV, MBT, and Grundorf?

Was leaning toward SKB by name recogonition alone.
Have used Anvil style cases but assume plastic to be lighter.
Looking for light, strong, and small (amp is 12"x12"x3.5"h)
Just for local use transported in my car.
Your experience is greatly appreciated.

I've had a gator poly rack for a long time and it's holding up way better than I had hoped or expected. I've never wished I had bought something else.

I have an ancient Carvin one that's held-up great: 4-spaces and only 10" deep. Check their 2-spacer they sell with their new BX500 & BX1500 ampheads.

I have a heavy duty Gator that I'm more then pleased with. SKB also makes solid products. Although they, and most other case manufactures seem way overpriced. Look for used on ebay or CL.
