Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000
By babyface_finsta Fri May 28, 2004 6:20 am
Anyone know of a travel case for the 4000... Sweetwater suggest the travel case for the Roland vs-2480... I own both pieces of equipment and the 2480 is about 4 inches wider and deeper (I'm sure I can buy foam for extra padding, but I'm not trying to go that route)... Plus, this seems like a makeshift option... so I'm suspect... if it were just for the road that would be cool, but I'm flying, and I dont trust baggage handlers... Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Yup

I think one of the guys at the Yahoo-list had a bag/backpack custom made for him... I think this is in Germany, but it wouldn't hurt to send him a mail...? :)

Looks pretty nice, and should even fit inside the cabin lockers of airplanes, if I recall his original post on the list correctly.

Fieew.. :roll: They are 400 euros for 1 bag!

'Hi Tim!

Wich kind of material is it made of?
The material is heavy duty PVC as used on Trucks combined with wooden protection areas.
But you can also choose any other material like leather (costs a little more).
Every single bag is custom made to your needs.
You can use it as carry on bag or backpack.

Do I get some kind of warranty?
We can make a 1 year warranty with free shipping,
and a lifetime free repair garuantee at shipping cost only.

How much does the bag 's gonna cost me?
The bag is 400 € + shipping.
That sounds expensive and most people loose their interest after hearing the price.
But industrial manufacturing is not worth it for the few MPC bags we make.
So this is a highly individual prime quality accessory for MPC travellers who really need it.

Where are you located in Germany?
Munich (Muenchen).

The Bags are made by Benny Hofer.
More info on his company you find on: http://www.oben.net
