I second (third?) the Angstrom Cases recommendation. Great folks. Great products. I really wish they'd get into the the custom keyboard and drum ATA case business.

Man, those things are expensive! I could buy some cool amps for that price . . .
Perhaps at first. And then some crew at Bob's Bait, Tackle and Bar in The Muskokas slams your head into the door frame while unloading your gear and suddenly the $250 you spent to wrap your $2500 head in a little padding and armour seems very much a sound financial decision.

Bob and crew don't get to touch my amp! :)

If I was a touring musician maybe these would may make sense, but a case for my combo is nearly $500 :eek:

Another vote for Angstrom if you want an ATA Flight case - great service from Monik with decent prices and very nice quality as well.

If you are just schlepping the amp around town maybe look into a padded cover of some kind. Check out the Studio Slips stuff or Tuki covers etc.

I didn't want to cheap out on my cases 'just in case' so I went for the Angstrom stuff, and I haven't regretted it yet! :banana:

Anyone know if there are any Canadian makers of this kind of thing? I'm in amp-protection mode right now. I've ordered one Angstrom case, will probably order one more, and then plan on getting padded covers for the rest of my amps.
http://coveramp.com/ -- they're in Quebec. I've never dealt with them. Their ads pop up on Toronto's Craigslist from time to time.

I have a road case made by Dinosaur Cases in BC. I bought it used, so I'm not sure how their new pricing is. But it is an excellent case. And I know from their website that they specialize in custom cases for musicians. I believe they made a guitar case for BB King once.

Cheers,

There is a Guy at Matt's Music in London who custom builds cases to your spec's and sells them on E-Bay too.

Would you know rough prices by chance?

I have dealt with the guy from Matt's Music (everyone calls him R.B. or Arby?)and he does great work and gets it done on time (whatever time frame he gives you).

We've bought a Keyboard ATA flight case from him and it's been worth every penny.
Very well made and high quality.


Also bought a ATA flight case for a Strat from Engineered cases in TO.
Also great work and quality.

Anyways, good luck.
