EWI roadcases?

CASE CAME! FIRST IMPRESSION HERE!
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=555009

So I haven been searching for a roadcase for my svt and just came across something I cannot believe.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I found This ewi case. for 170.00 bucks.
It has 3/8 ply/abs panels.
4 4" locking swivel casters.
1" thick foam rubber inside all around.
4 recessed latches.
4 recessed handles (2 on each side)
Aluminum edge work.
Steel ball corners

With all the bells and whistles that would normally cost around 400.00+

It doesnt seem to be a bargain brand and I have read extremely good reviews. Does anyone have experience with these cases.
 
So I took the plunge and ordered an ewi tourcase. Liz was very nice, it felt like a mom and pop shop over the phone! Service was great. and hopefully the case will be great. I will post a a first impression of the case, and an overall review after my tour is over.
 
I've used several EWI cases over the years, from 18 space racks down to the current 3 space I'm using for my DB750.

They've all held up extremely well---in fact, they are the only rack/road cases I'll buy.
 
You made a wise choice. The EWI cases are better than anything that I have witnessed at their price point. Actually, I can honestly state that I believe you will be astounded at the quality when you receive your case. Liz and Mark are some of the best folks that you will come across in this business. Seriously. Mark is so honest that it hurts. I will continue to use Audiopile.net whenever I can.

PS: If you need cables-instrument or mic...search no further! Excellent quality at unbelievable prices. I buy bulk cable from them...I cannot make finished cabling any cheaper than Mark and Liz sell it for. I just buy the reels because I'm an old fart and like to make my own (oddball) cables!

So how did mark hurt ya? :hiding:
 
I use a 3 space for my Aguilar DB750 and couldn't be happier... Super quality case for a bargain price.

The reason I got one is because they were the only ones who offered a case with a shallow 14" depth in 3 space... Glad I took the leap. Awesome cases, you won't regret it!
