bassbluestew Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Foirst off mods please move this if it's in the wrong place. Righty Ho. As some of you may know I have a dinky new Aguilar rig. As some of you also know I look after my gear and keep it in good/great condition. To that end I wanted some new covers for my new DB112 cabs. I contacted Bryn at Roqsolid on Monday about 1pm. I spoke to him on t'phone, customised the covers slightly, arranged express delivery,got a (very good) price and WITHIN 24 HOURS my covers arrived. They are in Leeds, I'm in rural Glasgow. Remember these are custom made - not stock - and were customised. Actual time from talking to Bryn until I unpacked them was approx 21 hours. I think that is remarkable by anyone's standards!!! A huge well done and thank you to Bryn and the team at Roqsolid. Oh and it goes without saying the covers fit perfectly. Happy boy here!!!! Stewart.

bertbass Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I recently bought some covers for my amp and cabs and I'm more than happy with the quality and service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Ooh might have to invest, even if its just to keep my cats from scratching at my new Eden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Another endorsee here. Over the last couple of years I have changed my kit quite a bit, always had Roqsolid covers and always been pleased with the quality. Excellent service and VFM.

JTUK Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I use them and very happy with them... They weren't as quick as I didn't have a standard template for the cabs but they were thorough and efficient and good to do busniess with...only taking about a week or so, if that, and that was to double check some measurements. Recommend them in an instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I got one made for my Markbass combo just over 3 years ago & was one of the best services I'd ever had. The chap called me & asked what colour piping I wanted & let me know it would be a little longer than normal as it was the 1st one they'd made for this combo. Fits perfect too! & the wait time was less than what I would have expected from anywhere else with one in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141758"]Here's my Roqsolid experience[/url]... excellent, it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Wasn't so quick with my order, but it was outwith his control, a PC crash lost my address. Then it turned out they didn't have a template for a Hiwatt 4123 cab, so mine became their template. As already said, excellent product - highly recommended.

doomed Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Another happy customer here, i have one for my SP212 & one for my Matamp 6x10, both fit perfectly & service was about 48hrs on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I had Roqsolid covers on both my EA cabs and they were great. I have only heard good things about them and Bryn's customer service from Dave Perry and his Foundation range of cabs come with them for no extra cost. I'm awaiting mine and it will look like this I believe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiehoffmann Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Great experience with Roqsolid here too. I ordered a cover for my Traynor YBA300 and, even though they didn't have a cover for this specific model on their website, I was able to use their custom measure system and the cover arrived two days later. Fits perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Another custom cover orderer here. Measured up and bought covers for my Trace 1548, V-type combo and Laney NX115. Absolutely impeccable. Never need to worry about getting my cab wet when loading into a gig plus it lood as good as new after 10 months of gigging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Had a fast delivery this week but they sent me one for a shuttle 3.0-10T instead of a 6.0-12T Doh! Quick call the next day to Bryn and they are sending me a new one out once they receive the wrong one back with a refunded postage. sh*t happens but it's the way companies deal with it that counts, Hopefully have my tower of black and red binding soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymariner Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Another plus one here too! Covers made for my Ashdown Classic Neo cabs and they arrived quickly, look ace and fit like the proverbial glove. I noticed the image above had an logo stitch in - is that a new service they offer?!?

I'm sure Bryn would do something for you though. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yet another happy customer here. Ordered one for my Markbass 15" cab a long time ago and about to order another for my CMD121P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterfire666 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 has anyone tried hotcovers? if so how do they compare to roqsolid? my only concern (with roqsolid)is they look a bit thin/lightweight are there any other more heavy duty options?

stingrayPete1977 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I don't find roqsolids thin at all, you can have a speaker protection board sewn in as an extra for a reasonable fee too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I inherited mine when I bought my cabs off here, and I'm not overly delighted... There's a hole for a handle on both sides when the cabs only have one, they're a little loose and since I've seen the manufacturers version I've been aiming to set aside the funds to replace them. Sorry to Roqsolid fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalMan Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yup. Another satisfied customer. Over the years they have done my[list] [*]MB CMD121H combo [*]Epifani 112 [*]Barefaced SuperTwelve T [/list] All of which had size tempates set up ready when I came to buy. All of them arriving very quickly after the order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 It's not really roqsolids fault if someone else bought the wrong covers though is it? They could make you the same cover without the other handle hole and to your exact size, probably within a working week too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
