My last word on the age old gig bag vs hard case debate

[Aussie Mark]

I cannot imagine using that for anything but flying.

I live in a big state, four times the land mass of Britain. We do regular weekend road trips that are 4 or 5 hours each way, with our gear stacked to the roof of the vans (our guitarist has an identical van), often on bumpy, poorly maintained country roads in 110 degree heat. That flight case will protect my Stingrays quite nicely I think

Mark, are they Mackie speakers that you have snuggled in amongst all that gear?

Yes Liam, well spotted. That's a pair of Mackie C300's, which we use for our front of house tops/mids, with a pair of EVM-TL15's for subs. The Mackies are wonderful cabs.

Bench seat with a column shift, so the esky sits between the driver and passenger

having only bones and skin on it, i rather use a gig bag than a case, or i wont be able to play at the gig after carrying the instrument...
To carry the amp and box i've got an old volvo (so i can take bring the drums and the drummer, and of course some beer).
