Amp Road Cases

Post by Casavettes »

so i'm in need of a road case for my fender concert reverb.
Image

height 25 3/4
width 25 3/8
depth 12 27/32

could anyone point me in the right direction?

I figured this could be an open end discussion about roadcases in general, in the event anyone else is looking for one as well.

I found a really bad ass builder on InstaGram actually, you can check him out at http://www.circlethreedesigns.com I have a roadcase for my gigging head and its one of the greatest investments I ever made. Gotta protect that high dollar gear.

I got my roadcase a few years ago and it was around 150$ new plus shipping, but that was with a different builder and just for a head. I have not gotten anything directly from the one I linked, just admired his work and attitude, he seems to love a challenge. I would expect that your gonna run in the 3-400$ range for a roadcase for an amp that big, especially if you want a lift-off with casters.

$300-$400 sounds about right to me as well for that amp. I have one case that came with my Ampeg V4 and it cost the dude $200 new.

Those cases Ancient linked look nice for sure. I know Emperor builds some sick custom cases too for really fair prices as does Verellen (I think).

emperor cases run in that range. I have 2 cases from them

The red bear: Image (Closeup)

Both are in this picture: Image
Red bear on left, Verellen on right. I don;t have a closeup of the verellen case

Though I just realized yours is for a combo. Sorry duder. Emperor can probably still make it.

so i went with this company and i couldn't be happier. the owner (christopher) is a real standup guy and the warehouse is only 45 minutes away from my house. so this really worked out :joy:

I follow this dude too, Where in NJ is he based? I may start going with him for all my cases instead of Emperor. Especially guitar cases since no one makes a solid baritone case that i like.

I need to get cases for my Super and Bassman, I understand how important it is, but when I price it out, I'm like I could get a reissue super with that money or something and just gig with it...haha

I'm going to have my guitar case made by him too actually. I'm sure he can help you out with a baritone case.

And I feel ya Psyre, the roadcase was about 200 dollars less than the actual cost of the amp. But I'm so happy with it so whatevs :)

Oh shit! The dude is only an hour from me too! totally going to see about a guitar case from him eventually. this is awesome news.

And yeah, it hurt to buy an amp for 400 and then spend 200 on a road case for it, but the peace of mind that comes from it is totally worth it. I can bang the thing around and stack shit on the case and not worry too much. Plus i like that no one sees what my amps are until we play.
