    They used to make me plug in and turn on the SP1200.

    As for carrying cases, I had some kind of "Guitar Center Special" that hella hurt my hands. Unless you got some gruff ass calluses then you don't want that.

    i got a case for my xl, its a soft case with foam on the inside..got it for like 50-60 a few years ago..works nicely.but ive never taken it on a plane before..if you were going to use this same case i would carry it on and not check it.

    lemme see if i can find a link for it.

    can't you ask for one in your "rider" for your shows in Japan? I'm sure it doesn't cost much for them to rent one. Lot less hassle than trying to carry that shit back to the hotel room after drinking too much vending machine sake.

    Ive been using a standars turntable case for the last 2 years and it's been fine through all plane trips, loading/unloading from vans etc. just stuff a couple t-shirts in there to snug it up and your set.

    dudes. DUDES. If you are really looking for something that will withstand just about anything, check out the Pelican cases. A little on the heavy/pricey side, but they are super bomb-proof and ATA approved if I remember correctly.

    You can tear out the eggcrate foam innard to make a custom fit for your gear (did it for my SP 1200)...waterproof, megasturdy. Photo dudes swear by them. If you're in SF, you can check them out in person at the photo spot down on Second and Howard/Mission--Adolph Gasser or something? Just be sure to get the correct size for your gear since they have about 50,000 different styles.
