The Deal: The fine folks over at HowAudio.com have brought us another fantastic giveaway. They are giving away a Big Namba Studio Backpack.
Here’s some info from the Big Namba about the Studio Backpack:
The Big Namba Studio Backpack was created by our design team of musician’s and dj’s to provide an optimum carrying solution for a laptop mobile studio or computer dj requiring a large control surface. We call it a high performance bag because of the construction detail and the extreme high grade 1680D poly nylon materials that are used.
Designed for security, the Big Namba backpack has many musician friendly details that separate it from the other solutions on the market. Extremely long lockable zippers and unsnappable hinges which allow easier packing, a cable management system that makes it easy to keep cables organized, special material that wicks moisture away from your back, and even a secret stash pocket (for your iLoks, etc.) are a few of the special features.

To be honest, I could really use this, so I really hope you lose and I win!
