ambient Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I want a cover for my speaker cab, Any recommendations on who to use ? I was reading the Roqsolid thread earlier, that's put me off them. I also emailed 3 days ago (before seeing the thread), they still haven't replied anyway. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Roqsolid for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Another Roqsolid from me. You literally receive your cover a few days after your order it. Very fast service and good quality. http://www.roqsolid.co.uk/wp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 When I got my PC cabs they came with some nice padded slip covers that apperantely were made by the bloke in the warehouse nextdoor... I'd imagine these weren't a one off. I prefer them to the roqsolid onen I've had in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL POSTERS Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Unless you are looking for a name on it, just find a local re upholsery firm. Tell em what you want, will probably only cost you peanuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hot Covers for me. Do like Roqsolid but their prices are ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauBass Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Have a look at JenArt Covers, I highly recommend them. See my post here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/235769-credit-where-its-due-jenart-design-cab-covers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] IMO these are all piss-poor excuses for a company that publishes its email address to attract business. If you're going to be away have an "out-of-office" message set up. Make sure that your spam filters are set up properly. If you can't do these things then you shouldn't really be publishing your email address for business purposes.

It took them over a week to reply to my email, told me they didn't want my measurements because they already had a template for that cab. It turned up, the quality was average at best, the handle hole didn't line up properly and for the price (which has been mentioned above as 'ridiculous'... I agree!) it wasn't worth half what I paid and offered little to no protection, even though I paid for the "padding". I chucked it in my attic and bought the official Aguilar one which is infinitely better quality and a much better fit. It also didn't cost that much more. If Roqsolid is your only choice, I suppose it'll have to do but if you have options, I would advise on my experience that you use them.

ambient Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks for all your replies. I emailed Roqsolid again lat night, still haven't replied. Hotcovers replied within about 20 minutes . I'll try Jen-art covers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingerz Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I don't know if they are still going, but I got one from Silverstone a few years ago. An all over cover that zips up. Much better quality than any others I've seen. A bit crap to get hold of, but IME that's the way with most things in this cottage industry! Highly recommended and has stood up to lots of use very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
