Do your latches rattle?

Chef said:
Gator rack bags are real nice, and don't have these issues.:(

I looked at the Gator website and it wasn't easy to find answers to a few questions. I hope you won't mind answering a few questions:

Do their rack backs zip open in both the front and back? And if they do, do both need to be opened to allow adequate ventillation?

How rigid are they? Can you stack one on top of another while they're being used?

Do they come with both front and rear rails?

Thanks!

Yes

That's how I run them

Pretty rigid, they're not just "soft bags." I think they'd stack ok, but I've never done that...

Do they come with both front and rear rails?

Thanks!
 
Maybe try to put something over latches so they don't rattle; maybe those wrist things (like sweat bands). or possibly put velcro sticky pads or them (hook on one side,rug on the other so they stick to rack). Or: maybe you can convince guitar god his speakers are ratteling from playing so loud and he better turn down before he blows his speakers! Then you can get a great tone without having to move furniture with low-end!
 
Rattle be gone...:cool:

It looks like your cord has an integral choke.

How well does it work?
What brand is it?
Is there a choke at each end?

Gracias!

That is from Bayou Cables. It isn't a choke it is a Rip tie to secure the cord once you roll it up. Every cable over 2 foot Butch sells comes with one.
