Still working on it.
This was just an idea I had, to get rid of some extra equipment I had laying around. I would have had the aluminum powder coated black if I had the money. If I would have gone the cheap route and painted it with a can of spray paint it would be scratched up in a few months.
I agree about the LEDs.. and as soon as I make a few more bucks with this thing, I promise to load it with them.
I am currently building a smaller, lighter GigRigg for "less demanding" venues. This one will be powder coated black as I have now found a supplier that sells finished aluminum.
