Just bought a Line 6 Spyder amp and thought I'd give it a shakedown with my Dekley S-10. Carrying that axe up 3 flights of stairs become a multiday job. Bathroom scale says 60 pounds in case with legs and pedal bar. It never used to be that heavy. _________________ Lawyers are done: Emmons SD-10, 3 Dekleys including a D10, NV400, and lots of effects units to cover my clams... |

I started transporting the body of my D10 in a Keyboard gigbag and I've been putting the pedal rack and leg bag with the pedal rods in a 3/4 size guitar gigbag. Although it's still a little heavy, it's a lot better than having it all in one case. |

Hi Ray,
I have an idea. It all in the mind as we age. Just THINK of it as feather light, should work, right?
Never mind, I tried it, and it didn't work........my Dekley is still just as heavy. Maybe if I attatch helium balloons?
Never mind......I'll go back to my cave.................. |

There seems to come a time when our age says, It is time to cut some of the weight of our guitar and gear.
I have been lightening my guitar and equipment since I turned 75. From MSA Classic S10 65 lb. and D10 85 lb. went to GFI S12 49 lb. From Nashville 400 to a Quilter TB 202 and light 15" speaker cabinet. Now to lighten my seat.
I just finished working on my MSA Classic D10, I pulled both changers, Checked and cleaned them, And changed it from Day setup to Emmons setup. I had to get a neighbor to help lift it up in and out of the cradle.
The new owner picked it up Sunday, My back feels better already. |
