Here are finally some good shots of my '95 Epic. It's a zebrawood top (quartersawn?), Epic electronics, nothing out of the ordinary. I just replaced the AE-3 module in this bass. You can also see my new 3/4 stack of cabinets from Acme. Thanks for the advice guys, these cabinets rock!

Okay, and a picture of my rig (Alembic F-1X, Crest VS900 amp, Korg tuner):

Hi Jeffrey,

a question: in what is your rack stored?
Can I interpret this as a kind of "gigbag"?
Never saw that before.

Good question...

Assuming it is a "bag" of some sort, how much weight is it supposed to handle, and how much does your amp/preamp/tuner weigh? Or is it more like a cover, and you sort of pick the whole thing up by the sides?

Is it possible you could have handles mounted on the amp, and allow them to protrude through the case for carrying purposes?

(beautiful wood)

Musicians Friend has a RockBag marketed by Warwick. I don't know anything else about 'em.

I've always found gig racks to be too heavy and bulky to carry around, and this rackbag is nice because it has sturdy straps to carry it. I don't know what brand it is. My brother and I traded a 8 space rack for this rackbag. I think I got the better deal. There is a steel frame inside the bag that the equipment racks into. I have no complaints yet about it.
