franzbassist Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi folks How well made and reliable are these things? Cheers Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaphappygarry Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Pretty well made and pretty reliable. I have had one for a few years for my recording gear and it gets chucked about cars and vans regularly. Only now am I slightly worried about the condition of a few zips. On another note, i used to keep a HOT amp in it and it somewhat warped the wood by the looks of things from heat. Maybe an extreme case but a consideration for what you use it for. Other thing is mine is shallow. which means i get some studio 19" gear in it but nothing bass ish. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 +1 on the zips. Routing them around corners is always a weakness, and one of my zips went at the first gig the Rockbag got used at. I binned it and replaced it with a Gator hardshell. The other thing is that those Rockbags are ridiculously heavy [i]before[/i] you do something silly like putting a power amp into it. Gator and SKB hardshells are much lighter.

bassbloke Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Depending on what you're looking for, I'd suggest visiting this site for a gig skinz rack bag. Really well made and most of what they have is half price [url="http://www.flightcasepro.co.uk/Gig-Skinz/Gig-Skinz.php"]http://www.flightcasepro.co.uk/Gig-Skinz/Gig-Skinz.php[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for all the comments guys. I've now come to my senses and will simply replace my Gator ABS case with a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
