Has anyone used an M400 flight case bottom as a dolly / platform? It adds about6 inches. Works well with feet off. Ends up about 2.5 inches higher.
The Strawbs with Blue Weaver, used the bottom of their flight case, feet and all and it ended up about 6 inches taller. It would have been a bit high if someone was playing seated, by not bad at all if you were standing -- and Blue is taller than I am.
Only problem was for that gig (and the reason I was there): someone at Montreal's airport had driven the tines on a fork lift right through the center of the 400 and out the other side -- and there's not flight case on earth that withstand that. It was a right mess (as Martin would say), so I loaned them mine for the night since we weren't playing that week. Another was flown in for the rest of the tour.
Anyway, if you're standing, having a 400 in the base of the flight case is no big deal.
