Product Experience I own it
Closest Store St. Catharines, Ontario
Just picked this case up today, I used it to house my Aguilar AG500 solid state bass head.
It is definitely sturdy and seems to be made of a good material - i'd trust it to hold tube amps of some value. I really like the stand, as it makes it more convenient to access knobs and dials on a smaller "half" stack, or in my case, a 2x12 cab that stands a little over 2 feet tall. The leather carrying strap is a nice touch as well, especially if you have to shlep it some distance.
Having said this, there are some notable flaws.
-there is no back cover. I thought maybe I missed it, but the rear is left open, potentially exposing your gear to nasty knocks and pokes.
- the front cover is held in place by Velcro - flimsy stuff at that. It looked like it was glued and stapled by someone who was paid very low and in a hurry. I wouldn't expect it to hold up to much wear and tear and it looks cheap.
-the rack itself is really recessed - about an inch deep. This is going to make it super difficult to see my knobs on a dark stage without some kind of rack light. I assume it's recessed to fit in the Velcro grille, but there's hundreds of other design choices they could have made.
Overall, it's not crap but you can see where the corners have been cut. The cheap "vintage" grille is a gimmick and definitely was a mistake - they should have gone for a latch or just a matching cover.
If you have the money and like the look, go for it, but you can get better rack cases for less.
