Racks

[Joey]

So I need a 10U rack to house various gear of mine... I'm worried about durability

I've decided its between these two:

http://www.analoguehaven.com/roadready/10ued/

something "portable" (i.e. easily movable from one place to another/not something that has to be dismantled) is what I need

anybody have experience with either of these?

or is there another rack you'd recommend checking out?

Thanks guys!

all my portable racks are SKB. they're tanks & the rotorack series are the smoothest they've made.

I've got a few of the 8 space SKB roto racks. I've only used them in the studio (and moving back annd forth) and am very pleased with their contruction. I hear they're not as strong as the original SKB cases, but I think the roto racks should do well in gigging situations.

The last Roto rack I bought was last summer at a GC sale for $99 (8 space).

I think the SKB case should be fine if you're just taking it to gigs every once in a while. If you move it around a lot you might consider one with shock mounts, though they typically run for twice the price because it's essentially a rack within a rack.

The SKB is made of plastic, the RR is made of wood.

I've used plastic racks before, they twist a bit and just don't last anywhere near as long as wooden ones. Go with the wood, they look a lot better too IMO.

edit: duh

okay somewhere you made a mistake there stab... please edit that post so i actually know which one you like

I'm thinking he meant the plastic ones twist and don't last as long as wood, so go with wood.

Yeah whoops, need a coffee. Wood is good.
