westicle Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So I've recently got hold of a Dave Hall V2T bass preamp and a Mark Bass head which I carry in a rucksack. I didn't fancy the V2T's chances of surviving too long so built a case for it and then thought I might as well make one for the Ninja. I was going to start with a prototype and make a more refined version but I kinda like the scrappy nature of these. Sharing in case it gives someone else some inspiration.

Gottastopbuyinggear Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I like them! I feel a case for my GK MB200 coming on... As someone who likes the right tool for the job I'm also impressed by your cutting mat, and metal rule with handle and spirit levels, and was about to make a slightly-sarcastic-but-hope-you-take-it-in-the-right-spirit remark about the knife when I remembered that the last time I cut some flight case foam I used a 12" carving knife...

TimR Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Is this for transport or are you planning to keep that sleeve on when you're using it? If the former, excellent idea. If the latter, I suggest you have a good think about heat build up and component failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westicle Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'm only transporting the V2T in the case. I'm planning on keeping the Ninja in the case - it's got a fan on the back and I'm assuming the chassis isn't designed specifically to get rid of heat but I'll keep an eye on it.

Kevin Dean Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've just cut down the size on some of my swan Flight cases all that was required was a drill ,jig saw & pop rivet gun . It's made a considerable difference on the weight I have to harry .......I just can't get any of my gear in them anymore (just joshing ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have always uesed an electric carving knife for cutting foam. Good clean cuts and can cut some difficult shapes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
