Each and every time has been an easy and straightforward deal. The onus is on you to make certain that your measurements are correct (the old adage, measurement twice cut once) but in every instance Chris at Jenart has been really helpful, offering advice where necessary and always providing a top notch service. I can't fault the company or their products, particularly when you see some of the absolutely ridiculous prices charged by brands such as Markbass, Aguilar etc, for products that are in most respects inferior to what Jenart produce. The only downside is that you don't get the brand logo of your particular amp/cab stencilled onto the cover - what a shame [/quote] I couldn't agree more with you

After my bad experience with another cover manufacturer, I find out this company called Jenart Design. [url="http://www.jenart.com/"]http://www.jenart.com/[/url] Although their website is not great, they were also recommended by a few fellow Baschatters so I decided to go with them after a nice chat with Chris from Jenart. He's been a pleasure to deal with and made things very easy from the start. He informed me well of all the different materials and options they offer. Mine has been a completely custom made cab cover for my Barefaced Super Twin. I took all the measurements and double check all the details with them and within a matter of days the cover has arrived and....it fits perfectly! Quality is excellent, very well made, well finished and very good 10mm padding....This cover is very similar to the Aguilar and Bergantino covers I have owned. It came packed in a box rather than folded to death in a plastic bag so no creases as you'll see in some others I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amp, cab...cover. They are very good value for money, best out there that I know of right now.

I might have to go down the custom route too to get the bass I want ....fancy building another one?

Where did you get it from?

I'm also very surprised with what's happened here! I have explained in detail all the issues each of the three different covers had on my original post. Pics speak for themselves. I ordered the standard cover from their site and it didn't fit. I took measurements three times to make sure they had the right ones and none of the next two covers were still right, in fact handle holes were in the same position pretty much on all three. Also other issues that had been fixed from the first to the second cover, were again made wrong on the third cover. I understand many of you have had no problems with your covers and are very happy with them but my story has been quite different and I'm very annoyed...my cover is being made somewhere else now and I'm even saving a good chunk of money

I had a similar experience to Handwire's but don't be put off by that, we all have different tastes.

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1397246420' post='2422285'] Build quality and finish is amazing. It sounds great at home at different volumes, it'll be interesting to know what it sounds like at rehearsal. [/quote] I agree, it's a great cab, really well built...contrary to what some people think, fit and finish are really good in my opinion.. With regards to breaking in the speakers, Alex advice was to just play the cab and give it some time, not to bother with running any tones through the cab...and that's what I'm doing with my Super Twin.

[quote name='Emanew' timestamp='1397161553' post='2421417'] As i am looking for a Japanese JB matching headstock and binding (the JB65B and JB66B) i with we could share our matching headstock basses.

[quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1397154791' post='2421301'] What was the topic again?........... [/quote] So far I have Hotcovers, Jenart and[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Bacsew[/font][/color] they all look good and prices are reasonable. Not sure there's any other cover manufacturers in the UK

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1397147400' post='2421193'] Read this? [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/xoticsp.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.c...s/xoticsp.shtml[/url] [/quote] Yes hence the SP was my choice when the Micro Comp option failed ...thanks anyway!

[quote name='krysh' timestamp='1397136552' post='2421040'] I have one and it's a keeper, even if I hardly use it. works very well with very little to zero noise on bass and guitar and once you've found "your" setting with the pins it's difficult to get a bad compression out of it. THE feature is the parallel compresion blend which I usually leave on 40% wet to just fatten up my sound a bit without losing the original dynamics. [/quote] Thanks! I might pull the trigger and order one.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1397116417' post='2420710'] I imagine they must've been a nightmare to build! [/quote] I think you might be right, not easy mounting everything on such a small enclosure. No experiences with the Xotic SP anyone?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1397135105' post='2421013'] I think I just find the idea of wrapping an item that is extremely solidly built with a hard-wearing exterior in something so comparatively weak and flimsy somewhat bizarre... [/quote] Apparently many, many people have a different opinion and choose to have a cover on their cabs. The covers on my previous cabs and amps, Aguilar and Bergantino, were of excellent quality, not weak at all, and did their job really well.

[quote name='bumnote' timestamp='1397109614' post='2420660'] I am the same, they made me one cover which fitted well, but as you say are a bit basic, kept the raln off the last ones, 1 acoustic 370 amp, 3 PJB covers, came from these chappies [url="http://www.hotcovers.co.uk/"]http://www.hotcovers.co.uk/[/url] Despatched within 24 hours, all made as custom jobs, ie not madethese particular cabs/amps before, 3 perfect, one not quite right, [my naff dimensions] turned round modified the same week. look good and nicely padded. [/quote] Thanks, I'm already in touch with them, waiting on the final quote but they are going to be definitely cheaper that Roqsolid. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1397119370' post='2420755'] I agree that Roqsolid covers are very basic - they protect against knocks and scratches, and that's it. But.. IME they do that job well, with good service t'boot. Sorry to hear the OP has had a problem. Frankly, I'm amazed as their reputation is usually pretty solid. I hope you get it sorted. [/quote] Thanks! All soretd now, I've been refunded my money. I'm amazed too but that's been my experience with them. I'm not the only one that has had problems lately...something going on there? Maybe. [quote name='Scooby' timestamp='1397124301' post='2420839'] A very poor showing on Roqsolid's part. I have to agree with some of the above comments that their covers are very, very basic and do little more than keep off the dust and a spot or two of rain. I always use Jenart ([url="http://www.jenart.com/frames.html"]http://www.jenart.com/frames.html[/url]). Chris at Jenart is a super guy and his prices are really competitive. For example, approx £25 for a Markbass CMD121P combo cover 20mm padding. Jenart have made quite a few covers for me - usually from my measurements, always to the agreed spec and I have never had an issue of any kind. Usually a quick turnaround and the covers have always fitted first time. I can't recommend the enough. No, I'm not on commission [/quote] Cheers! I've just sent them an email.

[quote name='lemmywinks' timestamp='1397125543' post='2420858'] You know when you're storing a cab somewhere it might get dust on it? Stops that. You know when you're walking from the car to the gig in the rain and water might get on it? Stops that. You know when you accidentally scuff the cab against a wall or something and it can damage the finish or tolex? Stops that. That's why you use cab covers. [/quote] Exactly! This type of covers might not offer much protection against hard knocks or falls but they do a good job protecting the finish on your cab. I've had cabs with and without covers, the ones with do not have a scratch on them, the ones with none, did get quite a few scratches and tears on the finish.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1397103122' post='2420650'] I've not tried either of them, but SFX also do a micro compressor, although it's not listed on the site. [IMG]http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll268/photomx/Micro-pedals/micro-comp01.jpg[/IMG] [/quote] Not anymore...I got in touch with Max and he said he's not making those anymore

I'm looking for a custom cover for my new cab. Any good manufacturers out there, please?...Not Roqsolid, fancy trying someone else this time
