buying a case

czech · Post by **czech** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 3:49 pm

so i need a case cause i'm moving again, but what kind should I buy?
I'm looking at chipboard cases and most are around $50, but i can get a full on travel case hard shell for $80.
what to do, what to do...

If i get this job i'll be traveling a lot, so i wanted a good case for planes.
oh well, i'll check pawn shops today and see if i can find a cheap shell.

i can't find a solid hard shell (travel) case for under $100, i think i might just go with a gig bag for a while.

i only have gig bag´s and they are good, but as you already know they may suck if you travel alot..

naw, i'm driving, i got the top pof the line fender padded bag for $25 today. The guiotar shop near me is awesome and they always sell shit for dirt cheap if it has been sitting forever.
