When Roland made the 8x model, they eliminated the bellows locking straps. Why? Only they know for sure. In addition, there is no hard case available from Roland for the 8x. Well, I didn't feel comfortable picking up and moving the 8x without bellows straps, and didn't like the soft gig bag that comes with the 8x. I prefer the protection that a hard case gives. So, I had Jim D install bellows straps (yes, it can be done without messing the electronics up) and also make for me a hard case to fit the 8x. The case is real nice, looks great and uses quality hardware, rolls extremely easy with ball bearing casters, 8x fits like a glove. I am uploading pics of the bellows straps and case in case (no pun) anyone would like to see them.
