Flight Cases

petermeechanuk · 1st November 2003

Anyone know of a good place to get flight cases in UK ? I'm ideally after the type that have high density foam padding between the case and rack mounts.

Thanks

Don't know about UK but my brother has a company in Dublin and they case all the gear for U2, Corrs, Cranberrys etc so they know their business. The contact is:
The Dublin Flightcase Company,
Phone: 00353 1 2823 688

Ask for Rory.

Hey Peter,

Try out http://www.spider-engineering.co.uk

They do lots of second hand cases too for a bit cheaper - normally they're covered in stencils of old cool bands so you feel like you're buying a bit of history.

Cheers,
Rich

The Used Flightcase Company are great for ex-tour cases on the cheap. Otherwise, the two most reliable companies I've used are Buster Cases (very affordable) and The Case Plant in Southampton. The latter will provide detailed diagrams of any custom cases so you can be absolutely clear of the spec before committing.
