I've literally traveled around the world, twice with this same SKB case (with a different gig bag inside). My basses never had damage and it's great to use in travel situations (easy to wheel from location to location).

Agreed! My favorite part is the handle and wheeling it thru the subway and airport

These are great- I’ve also logged numerous flights I’ve several years with mine and not a scratch on my basses. Someone is going to love this!

So the Mooridian bags are a good fit?
My undercover case died and I’ve been looking for a replacement case

I like how you have Latch Both Sides written on it. I have similar instructions on mine, but it's written on gaff tape.

yeah the new Sharpie "metal" markers are great they won't rub off but will easily wipe off with some "goo-off". Best of both worlds! (I had my name and number sharpie'd on both halves as well, and cleaned off for the sale)

*If I were to do it agin I may write it on the 'flat-side' to be seen while laying down

I’ve got to add... the rubber tie is genius. Raises the likelihood of it being re tied when TSA is done.

I use zip ties and store fresh ones inside and about 70% of the time they reseal

You dig! gotta thank @JimmyM and the boys over at the Rotocase/gigbag thread for that tip!

the only time it came out of TSA 'untied' was entering Cuba in Havana.

Mostly me...actually ALL me

Jsxtal, that is exactly why I use these twist tie cables instead of zip ties. I can't recall them not tying it back. Might have happened once in about 12 years.

My roto case has made it back and forth to the Caribbean many times, never an issue. I have the “belt” closure version of the case, and I use Jimmy’s brilliant twist tie idea. Always re-sealed back up perfectly by TSA/Customs. AND the airlines never charge me an over-size fee for it. Its a godsend.
