SVT7PRO carrying options-rack, bag, other??

[rodl2005]

Hi all, got me a 7 pro & after the gig last night, am mighty impressed with it.
I won't go into whether or not it produces the stated 1k watts ;-)
I've a 2 space rack case I CAN use for it, but I'd rather get a different option, so I can keep it a bit smaller I.e keep the rack ears etc off it.
So I'm after a suitable bag/case etc for it. I've looked at a couple of pedal board cases, but these are SLIGHTLY too shallow-height wise.

Needs to be about 100mm high x 300mm wide x 400mm long

Any suggestions?

I've got an SKB military case for my 4-pro, and it works pretty good. Look for one with a cubed foam interior, and make sure you have a few inches on each side to give you more padding. Then just adjust the foam to the head, and your set. At least it worked for me

Thanks!
So do I just search for SKB military case? Is that a hard case? Plastic? Any info on the style of case you're talking about?
Any links? Sorry, I know, I'm lazy
;-p

Gator and skb , make rack bags that fit well, I would have gotten one but I wanted a three space to fit my eq too, and I already have a skb hard case. It's a little big, but it is a heluva lot lighter now than when I had the 3 pro in it.

I looked at the SKB cases. Might be a bit pricey to get one sent to me here in AUS tho.
Thanks so far. Will check both Gator & SKB here in Aus. Otherwise, I might just modify a regular hard sided luggage case. hmmmmm?

I'd check this page, and find something with cubed foam in the appropriate dimensions.

Mil Std Waterproof - at SKB Shipping, Transport & Equipment Cases

The problem with a luggage case (IMO) is that it won't securely hold the head. You don't want it flopping around in there. That's why the cubed foam is so good, you can modify the foam to the exact size of the head to provide maximum protection.

Thanks, I'll check that link.

Just thought I'd fill in what If ended up getting.
There was lots of rack type options, all $$
So, I visited a cuppla thrift stores.
Found an old slide projector case that fits the 7 pro, power & speakon lead, tuner & a inst. lead.
AlI did was cut some foam for top & bottom of where amp sits.
Cost $5 pix coming

$5 cases are the best!

I read here that this was a perfect fit.
