You ever hear about the President of the United States and his "football"? It's the code name for the locked case that contains the nuclear launch codes, and it's one Secret Service agents duty to "always keep the football with the president." Recent lore maintains that former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich nicknamed his favorite hairbrush "the football" and entrusted it to an aide with the same directive. Now you can make like Rod and Barack with your Fishman Loudbox 100, thanks to the new Fishman Loudbox Carrying Case, recently announced.

Your "football" will be just as safe and handy a any other with the new Loudbox carry-case. This durable portage is constructed of 600 denier ballistic nylon. . . or should we say "Intercontinental Ballistic Nylon"? (We shouldn't) Thick, protective foam is sandwiched between the outer and inner nylon layers, and a soft tricot interior padding swaddles your Loudbox like an innocent babe.

For easy access, the top cover is velcro'd shut, with an interior dust-cover treating your amp to Smithsonian-grade preservation. Rubberized skids protect the bottom of the case from skid marks (sorry). An adjustable shoulder strap, woven "Fishman" logo, and handsome contrast piping makes the case for this case as the perfect black-dress accessory. You know, for your next Smithsonian fundraiser. You ever been to the Smithsonian? You should go, it's awesome!

While they didn't provide us with pricing or availability, Fishman did provide us with their phone number (978.988.9199) and invited us to call. Go ahead, ask them to go to the Smithsonian with you! It's free!
