Mark V Head... Hard/Uncomfortable to carry???

[Hendog]

Am I the only one who is very uncomfortable carrying my Mark V head? Its so wide and heavy. Keep in mind I'm a 29 year old 230lb bodybuilder so I dont normally complain about carrying my gear but this head is a *****!

Is there a case that makes this thing easier to transport? Maybe a a vertical, lightweight flight case or something???

Mine doesn't bother me too much, but I'm coming from a rack that is MUCH more unwieldy to handle. I generally leave it on the 2x12 and roll both as a unit whenever possible.

-shrug- its the easiest head that I have owned to carry besides my little 20 watt jet city (past amps: ENGL Steve Morse and Peavy 5150II)

HUH?!?

The 5150 is nothing to transport compared to the awkward shape of the Mark V.

The weight of the Mark V head is not evenly dispersed. But it's way easier than the RKII I came from. Now that thing was a PITA to carry.

Get some Flintstone vitamins.... throw out everything but the Bam Bams... take those every day, along with a shot of primabolin. That amp will lighten up in a few days...

Get a handtruck

ahahahaha... Thats some funny ****. And it's primobolan.

I love the Softail by the way. What year?

Hmmmm. I think it is the lightest and easiest to carry. I was just bringing this up the other day to some friends how light and comfortable it is!

But I guess "to each their own" right??

 

[bryan_kilco]

never carried the V, but carry my IV almost every day. Everyone who picks it up says its soooo heavy for being so small (shortie). I dont find it awkward at all....I just be very gentle with it as I dont have a case and dont want to break anything. my 5150 is like 10 lbs heavier and is big and bulky.

Going from my Lonestar widebody head to the MkV head, the V is a lightweight!

05, the last carbuerated year... I like the sound of the carb, ironic a Boogie player would also be a 'tone freak' about a bike! :lol:

I use this case, it has a extend-able handle and wheels.

Please tell me this is a troll.

 

[wezzley]

compared to my road king ii combo, the mark v is a lot easier to deal with. but it's not exactly light weight

 

[bchulse]

Try carrying a Roadster 2x12 combo. Even with 2 people, so **** heavy!

 

[phyrexia]

if you are 230 and bodybuilder, than wtf, I say.

i have a combo mang. eat me.

 

[sean106alcon]

I bring MV Head, a gym bag with all my cables and pedals and a guitar in a gig bag every week and have 3 flights of stairs to go down and don't find it that bad and I am fine with it. But then again I was used to lugging all that but instead of a Mark 5 a VH4 and that was a ***** the VH4 is way to heavy. But built like a tank.

 

[TimeSignature]

Try lugging around a DC 10 2x12 combo. Its 106 lbs.
