Thanks for the information - much appreciated. Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near LA (just north of Indianapolis...). I've looked at cases that would hold one or two heads and rack gear, but they are all "vertical" units with the head(s) at the bottom and the rack gear at the top. I like the lower height of the side-by-side configuration better.Stone Heavy Sound":oolesx2c said:IndyWS6":oolesx2c said:Is that your rig in the photo? If so, where did you get that rack case? I'm interested in something similar and haven't seen any off the shelf that are side-by-side like that. Not trying to derail the thread - just curious
Yeah, that's my large rig, and it's actually about 350 lbs. !!!! You definitely need a crew and/or forklift if you want to tour with this. I don't so it basically lives in the studio, but I was hoping I would someday. It's still been a treat having everything neatly wired up and ready to go at all times though and it has a real presence. Because of its size, I actually built a smaller rig for gigging. It's a 10-space shockmount rack and that's a handful as it is.
The case is from A&S here in Los Angeles. Talk to Jim, he's their sales guy and very nice and knowledgeable, he's built everyone's cases! This one is actually based off a picture I saw of Jerry Cantrell's rig, so I'm describing it to him over the phone and he says, "Jerry, oh let me go pull out his file" and a minute later has the schematic in his hand, all we had to do was measure my heads for the foam.
In light of the Road King, I'm considering foregoing the two head setup. PM me if you're near L.A. and want to see the case, I'm considering selling it, and for a hell of a lot less than a new one will cost.
Thanks Again
