Shallow rack cases

[JackLondon]

Hi Chaps,

I'm wondering about getting a shallow rack case for my gear because the current one I have is quite big and the weight isn't ditributed evenly and it annoys me.

At the moment my gear fills up about half of the depth of the standard rack case so would I be safe to get a shallow one ?

Here's a pic to show you how much space I have currently left

So will I be ok to get a shallow rack ?

Cheers
Jack

There's two main manufactuers making them I think - SKB's shallow cases are noticably shallower than Gator's, so have a look at the relevant websites to check that your gear will fit before you downsize! I think SKB's are more geared towards sound engineers' outboard gear to be honest...

When measuring up your gear and the cases to make sure they fit, don't forget to allow for the depth of plugged in cables at the back!

I just looked at gator racks and they have 37.47cm internal depth, my gear without any cables measured from the front lid to the back is 28cm so 10cm should be fine for cables ?

Yeah, that'll be fine - the rig certainly won't fit in an SKB though.
