Something that few ABS cases could do, I'm sure.

I virtually NEVER have to cold lift my case with arranger, everything is dollies and leverage. I am afraid I would be a nervous wreck trying to transport my G70 in something I KNEW (even if only in the back of my mind) was one dropped speaker away from destruction!

Not too many of us can afford a backup $3500+ arranger. Don't short change your case... smile


well Diki so many have proved this theory wrong as we are day by day in the trenches gigging in & out of venues many times 2x a day and beyond with no problems what so ever lugging around an airline ATA case is ridiculous the weight along especially with a 49Lb G70 is outrageous add the ATA case and your upwards of 75+ lbs at least OUCH!!!...I'll bet if you ever gigged like that day after day, in & out constantly you wouldn't be schlepping' a beast like that in a heavy wood coffin. I personally never have had a problem with any of my Gator, ProTec or Guardian semi hard cases...
