Who wants to carry & lugg around one of those HEAVY coffins cases...NOT ME !!....the heavy duty Gator soft bag is more then enough for every day gigging.......At travel cases are made for just that airline and road truck traveling when stacking and vigorous touring scenarios are required with other gear...
I gig every day and never had a problem..
