Thunderfunk TFB550-B - Initial Impressions:

[Jakeahearts]

Jake, I use a 3 space Gator soft rack, with a Korg DTR tuner in the third rack space. Nice light easy to use protection.

KJung will tell y'all the the TFB/UL410 pairing is the shizzle..

Yes, that's the one I was thinking about getting. Nice and light with a shoulder harness and storage area...
Thanks,
Eddy

Jake, look at Northern Light and Sound for good deals, there is also usually a retailer on ebay (prosound? I forget). IIRC, yer looking at about $65 to yer door...
I have my wt800b in one of these as well, it's maybe 10 lbs heavier and both have help up well to date...

vroc38 - Is that the same as an "X-Rack" which is 10.5" deep?
I looked at that one but I'm not sure the TF will fit?
Thanks,
Eddy

Mine's 15" deep. I don't see it on the SKB website, so maybe they don't make them anymore.

Here's an ebay link - I think it's the same case.

How do the Gators work, does the back open up so you can run your cords through? Also, does the amp tend to overheat in the case?

 

[Chef]

The Gator opens front and rear. Fan is in the rear of the TFB, and wt800b, allowing air to be drawn thru properly in iether case.
No worries so far in my experience...

I use the same bag and have had no issues. It's a great little bag.

Yessir, I think I'm gonna get a four space version for the b1500, if it "turns keeper on me."

With the soft Gator bags, do the flaps zip off completly or is it a three sided zipper?

Thanks,
LeonD

 

[Chef]

3 sided; not a problem in my eyes tho...

I'm also using the Gator 3 space bag for my TF550A, with a Korg DTR-1000 in the extra space...

 

[unity bass]

The 3 space Gator bag sounds like a good call.
I use a 3 space Protec rack bag.
My tuner & SansAmp (and transmitter, cables & batteries etc.) fit in the top pocket.
It's convenient and durable. I've been very happy with it.
