I have a Little Mark II head. Right now it's in a 4 space rack case but, I'd like something more compact and shallow.

Any recommendations for the lightest weight, toughest quality and least expensive?

I know of a shallow SKB case that would work. They are about $90, a bit more than I'd like to spend

Pearson makes a tough as nails looking case for $60 but, it looks REALLY heavy.

$60 seems fine but, I don't wanna get a hernia lifting a Little Mark bass head. That'd be embarrassing

padded gig bag? (markbass probably makes one...)

I use one of those shallow SKB cases. Before I was gigging a lot, I kept it in a laptop bag or an old, small suitcase.

I picked up a surprisingly decent, aluminum-clad case a couple weeks ago at Home Depot for about $20. This one is 18"x13"x6" and probably bigger than you need, but I do remember that they had some other sizes. Might be worth checking out, and the price is right.

I have been using the Markbass gigbag for a few years. No complaints. Have probably done 150 gigs since then and the head still works, so I guess it's doing its job.

yeah i want a rack case though. The amp already has ears attached

In that case the SKB shallow FX case will probably be your best choice. Make sure it is deep enough!

Too bad. Just sold a shallow SKB before Christmas for $40. If you look around I'm sure you can find a decent one used in your price range. Plus you want take a hit if you decide to flip it later.

The shallow SKB case should work. 10.5" deep with the covers off. Amp is 9" deep.

There's a couple of them on CL for $60 but, I offered them $40.

Let's see

So YOU'RE the lowballer trolling NYC CL!

Well one of them anyway

Here's what my Markbass head is is now. I might buy the Markbass bag to put it in. Being that it can be used while in the bag, anything to make set up and breakdown at a gig faster is a plus!

I have mine in a Wal Mart soft beer cooler that has a hard plastic lining to it

That's good, it can hear what it sounds like!
