A shout out for Roqsolid amp covers... PICS

I know I'm preaching to the largely converted here, but....

The fitted cover supplied with my Ibanez Promethean combo is hopeless, so I've been looking for a replacement. After hearing a few [url="http://www.amplifiercoversonline.com"]Roqsolid[/url] reccomendations, I thought I'd give them a go.

It wasn't an option on their site, so I measured it up (VERY carefully!), and emailed the details to them on Wednesday. I specified black piping and a cable pocket, totalling just short of 40 quid posted.

It arrived yesterday - barely a full working day later! Unbelievable.

Did I measure it right...? Yep. Spot-on. :) It's a perfect, perfect fit. It drops right over the top, it's nice and snug, and it nips in at the bottom to keep it secure. There's a hole (perfectly measured, even though I say so myself!) for the handle to pop through.

A couple of things to bear in mind: The pocket is big enough for either a jack cable or a kettle lead. That's fine for me, but if you're hoping to fit more in, you might want to ask if they could make it bigger. Also - the material is [i]very[/i] tough and high-quality, but be aware that it's not 'padded' in the spongy, traditional sense. Again, I wasn't expecting it to be, nor do I need it to be.

This is a very, very high-quality,well made cover that will keep my combo scratch-free and nice and dry in the rain. And for £40, it's a bargain. Very highly recommended.

Dear Ibanez - THIS is how you make covers.

(Incidentally, the Promethean has been added as a catalogue item to their website now, so if you want one, you don't have to re-measure it.)

+1 for Roqsolid.

I've bought covers for both my Roland Cube and my Barefaced BigOne. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I decided to go for the optional internal speaker protection 'pocket' for my BigOne cover. I've slipped in some good strong cardboard (from one of those tray/boxes that greengrocers have), and it's given lots of extra protection without adding much at all to the weight.

Buy with confidence.

I used RS for my Markbass amp and cab covers.

Had them made in black and yellow to march the Markbass colours!

Massive A1+ - totally superb quality. Think it was about a shade over £60 for both.

Had them about 2 years now - been everywhere with me, all weathers - and still as strong as the day they were bought.

Great firm to deal with, real quality gear.

I am gonna buy some covers soon - but I think this company looks like it makes slightly better stuff.

Research this company very carefully on the web before you order - i believe a few people had some "issues" with them.

I can recommend Roqsolid wholeheartedly though. Had a few from them and delivered quickly, great quality and value too.

yeah be careful there dude, i heard some very negative storys about people paying and never receiving even an email let alone their cover. Do some good research, for all i know they may have changed....

Yup, another +1 for Roqsolid. I have one of their covers for my RedSub BT5110 "it's cheap so it must be crap, right?" combo. Placeholder strap, red seams (of course ;) ), fits great, does exactly what I need it to, good price, just what I needed.

Another +1. Have had covers for the old MB combo & Epifani cab, and now the BF S12T.

They also made a great cover for my Roland PK5 bass pedals after a very prompt response to an initial query through the site and exchange of emails with dimensions. I had the custom bag, which I think was added to the site as a previous custom option, within a week IIRC

Happy with mine and they arrived hugely quicker than I was promised.

Excellent fit.

Only mistake was mine - I asked for matching colour piping for combo and cab. Now I can't tell which is which without taking one cover off. My fault - should have had two differing colours.
