Bag for Avalon U5?

[rick1906]

Anyone use a bag or something to carry your U5 to gigs? I'm looking for something to transport mine in so that it doen't get banged up.

In your position I might look at a thickly padded snare drum case, possibly a 10" or 12" diameter? Or a Pelican case (best of all in terms of impact resistance and liquid resistance), but I don't know if they make one in an "ideal" size for the U5.

I splurged for the rack ears and bought a Gator 2U rack bag. I don't regret it. BTW, a short rack will NOT work with the Avalon.

A few years ago I found a tool box at Home Depot that the U5 fits perfectly in-- like it was made for it. Apparently made to put tools in, it's textured black plastic with silver trim. It came with dividers in it but with these taken out the foam rubber packing material that came form the U5's shipping box fits perfectly.

These boxes are pretty common. I think store like Home Depot still sell them.

Hope it helps!

Mooradian (the 'Walter Woods bag company') makes a U5 bag (they'll make bags for everything, but have the measurement specs on the U5 already). There's a picture of a U5 in the bag on their website.

Nice stuff... a little spendy (around $100), but worth it IMO.

I borrowed a U5 and it fit fine in a laptog bag.

SKB makes a case that fits well.

That looks like a nice fit!
