100%. The factory Ibanez bag is well made, apart from the steel loops, but practically speaking it's hopeless and unusable. It actually makes it harder to carry..!

Perfect! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141758"]More here....[/url]

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.)

[quote name='silentbob' post='1272871' date='Jun 17 2011, 03:57 PM']If anybody's interested there's a comp in today's paper on page 63 to win a rather tasty Nash PB-57 Precision valued at £1500. Thought it would be a bit selfish to enter and not tell everybody.[/quote] In the [i]Sun[/i]?? What's going on with that paper? First a Rush article, then they give away a Nash P-bass. Bizarre...

Dunno if anyone has played one yet, but it's been discussed a few times... opinion is mixed amongst BC'ers.

[quote name='eude' post='1272696' date='Jun 17 2011, 01:21 PM']Did you get the measurements right then?... Eude[/quote] I'm not sure.. Mrs. WoT has just rang to tell me it's landed, but I won't be home until later tonight. Fingers crossed!

Flipping heck... The cover has arrived! I only sent them the measurements on Wednesday.. Off to a gig, so more tomorrow.

[quote name='bremen' post='1271619' date='Jun 16 2011, 03:07 PM'][b][color="#FF0000"] FAKE[/color][/b][/quote] Nope - it's the correct profile for a cap made in P&G's factory in Auburn, Maine. The number of external ridges suggests dates it somewhere between 2007 & mid-2010. It's an easy mistake to make - the Auburn plant only made caps occasionally, to make up any shortfall from the Asian factories. It's still a little overpriced, IMO.

OBBM...

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1270677' date='Jun 15 2011, 09:01 PM']No probs, mate. He does come in for some stick, though, bless him.[/quote] He could start by popping some vids up on YouTube of him playing 'properly' (for wont of a better word). I'm sure that would help redress the balance.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1270623' date='Jun 15 2011, 08:27 PM']Lay off him a bit, guys. It may be annoying, but are some of you maybe just a tad jealous?[/quote] I'm sure he's a lovely chap, but we're all entitled to our opinions, Pete. Sure you - of all people - can appreciate that? (personal attacks aren't covered by the above, mind)

I watched a bit of the coverage. I'm completely out-of-touch when it comes to what's in the hit parade at the moment, but when The Semi-Precious Weapons opened one of their songs with the line 'I can't pay my rent, but I'm f*****g gorgeous!', I just thought... that's proper rock and roll.

[quote name='eude' post='1269831' date='Jun 15 2011, 11:19 AM']Nice one dude, looking forward to seeing the results. Are you going to something that just slips over the top allowing access to the handle on the top? Eude[/quote] That's right! It's like a padded version of the Walkabout Scout cover I used to have. It just drops over the top with a hole for the handle. I've asked for a side-pocket too, to fit a kettle lead in. Mind you,[url="http://www.amplifiercoversonline.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=107_36&products_id=2037"] they've added it to their on-line catalogue[/url] based on my measurements.

Two of my friends met after being press-ganged by the record company to dress up as Wombles for a TOTP appearance in the 70s. They hit it off, got married, and lived happily ever after. TRUFAX!
