For the last two days I’ve been building the flight cases for the 3 videobass and 3 “amplifiers” with my father who helped a lot.

We were so busy that I completely forgot to take pictures of the process. But the result is very nice:

I really like the fact that we managed to have similar dimensions for both cases – they differ only in their length. Apart from the looks, this simplified the building process as well – there are less numbers to keep in mind, and therefore less possibilities for errors…
