MB LM hard case?

#2
I did not notice it at NAMM, but then, with so much else going on there at the time it would be easy to miss. While I was at their booth so was Hadrien Feraud, Michael Manring, Jeff Berlin and Alain Caron, so forgive me for not noticing! :D

Just saw the hardcase on their site, too. But none of the local dealers here seem to have it in stock (at least not online) was thinking of getting a markbass bag with the lmIII but a case would also be cool. I'll just have to wait and see what the price is. The bag is already so overpriced, but maybe I can haggle it down as an extra when I get the Amp :)

I have the bag - it's cool and all, but my current method of load in is piling everything up on the cab/dolly and using one of those ratchet straps to hold it all together, plus I leave it in the car sometimes - would feel more comfy if it was in a hard case . . .

Check these SKB's out- they seem to be very tough. Double check the interior dimensions with SKB before buying.

I was going to get one for my MoMark, but I already had an old Calzone case. Add some dense foam in a few strategic places, and the case is well...customized.:)

Amps are always much cheaper in the US, direct conversion does not help much. If you see aprice in Europe on Euros, you can assume it costs about the same in Dollars in US, if not less. Want proof? Mesa Big Block 750 in US 1499$, in Europe 2090€.

The bag does have the convenience of not taking it out, but as mentioned a case can have its advantages aswell.

you don't have to take it out of the case either - the front and rear panels come off.

I like the soft case fine . . . it's just that when I transport to and from my car it's usually crammed on a dolly held tightly in place by a bungee or strap. I'm always afraid I might snap a knob or something if I'm not careful about how I place it - the hard case seems easier. Plus I'm not always the one who transports my gear so it's added protection . ..

actually I've been toying w/ the idea of having a custom case made that's pretty much the same width with a small pull out shelf on top for my pedals (which I never "stomp" - tuner, SABDDI (always on) and occasionally an octave that's on for a whole tune) but that's just my crazy brain . . . :D

I too want to check one out and very likely pull the trigger on a couple of them
I think the LMII would really look nice in one of these little cases, if they are reasonably priced....

well my $$ translation is not so good, but from what I see in the UK - I'm hoping my conversion is REALLY off because it's stupid expensive . . . still waiting though
