Lightweight/backpack case for valve 'bone?

[jorymil]

Hey there folks,

Anyone know of a good equivalent to a Protec ProPac for combination valve/slide horns? I have a wooden Getzen case that's built like a tank, but weighs as much, too. Wondering if an iPac bass case would be customizable enough.

The protec platinum series actually works well for mine. Conn 5G valve block with 3B bell section. I can try to remember to snap some pictures this week

Thanks, Matt! I'd sure appreciate that. I'm driving an Olds valve section with an Olds Studio bell; may change bells later.

Thanks, Matt - I'll definitely check that out.

do you think a slide would be able to squeeze into that bag as well? I could get a slide sock to prevent scratching etc. I've been looking for a way to keep all my 2B bits together in one case/bag.

I would say it probably would fit but I don't know if I would recommend it. The slide compartment is adjustable so you can widen it. Maybe you could get protec to include a 2nd slide seperator and attach it to the primary slide seperator. The valve section is pretty heavy though so I'd be worried about it warping the slide imo
