buying a case

Unread post by czech » Wed Feb 02, 2005 3:49 pm

so i need a case cause i'm moving again, but what kind should I buy?
I'm looking at chipboard cases and most are around $50, but i can get a full on travel case hard shell for $80.
what to do, what to do...

i can't find a solid hard shell (travel) case for under $100, i think i might just go with a gig bag for a while.
