Question for ShuttlMax 12.0 owners

Okay now that I have it, how best to protect it? Micheal forgot to order me the bag, no big deal but I want to protect it some way. What are others using, anvil type cases, pelican, rack mounts I am open to suggestions. I need to do something soon, it is to big of an investment to not protect. Or is the bag good enough? If so I will just order one. Really it should come with it, just my opinion.:confused:
 
I have both the rack ear set and the shuttle SM12 bag... I like portability so i use the bag... I can load into a gig with my bass on my back in gig bag, SM12 in bag over shoulder and one 1x12 cab in each hand.. One trip, and its a loud rig....
However the top and bottom have gotten a few scratches on it from use.. that never bothers me.. Plus in the rack bag it is easy if i have to fly to a date....
I could put it in the rack , but i just have not done that yet... I think the rack with the rack ears is the best protection overall... but i would get a SKB since it is lighter in weight and a very good way to keep it safe.. you dont need an Anvil style case unless you were tossing into the back of a truck or someone else was moving it for you..
But if you do get a rack the SKB will keep it light and protected and not add weight to the move.. after all that is the reason we go9t light heads anyway...
 
I have the bag for my 6.0 and its quite nice. I get a little nervous about the knobs maybe getting damaged in the bag as there is not a lot of protection, but unless the amp is going to be tossed into a vehicle and other gear thrown on top of it, you should be fine.
