G8 - how do you transport it?
5 Jan 2009, 16:50Hi!
I've got the G8 and it's a monster machine! I really enjoy playin it! I would love to use it in my band too! I'd like to split, layer sounds, use the pads as sample-starters etc.....it just would be great to have it on stage!
But there's one problem, the G8 is the biggest and heaviest workstation I've ever seen! I mean the width is acceptable, the 88 keys need their space and the depth is also bearable although it's bordering on the acceptable limits!
But had it to become soo high? I mean the OASYS 88 is just 13,5 cm high and I think it's technically at least as complex as the G! The height really makes the thing looking big!
Now, I don't wanna use a softbag for transport, because it's just too dangerous, the large glassy-display, the metallic surface etc....
So if I use a hardcase it makes the G about 15-20 cm fatter, about 10cm wider and about 5-10 cm deeper....(well I dunno if I can say deeper, my english isn't that good, but i mean the lenght from front to back)....
Well and it makes it about 5-10kg heavier (or even more, haven't had a hard case yet)!
So, I had already problems with getting my 61 note keyboard to the rehersals and til now I havent got a clue how to get this thing to my bands place!
Has anybody got the same problem/impression? What did u do?
greets, thanks
Luke
P.s: I didn't want to nag around here, the G is a monster machine like I said, and I know, the size isn't fixable with OS updates
...just felt lost with my feelings
