wateroftyne Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) 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.)

JTUK Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Looks thick enough and protective enough for me..and just what I am looking for. I will put my order in now Thanks........good timing and informative post with useful pics. Quote
Billy Apple Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 +1 Good post, cheers. I've been looking for some covers, and came across this stuff on Ebay, but they were a bit of an unknown. Thanks for the info, I'll be putting in an order Quote
gub Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Wow looks really well made and good fit , that was a super quick time as well between ordering and getting it and even more so as its not an off the peg job! will bear them in mind when i come to getting one. Quote
Musicman20 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 That is excellent! If I get a Promethean, would you recommend this over their bag? Quote
wateroftyne Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 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..! Quote
Len_derby Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 +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. Quote
Paul S Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I just bought the Barefaced Compact cover - fits like a second skin. Before that I had them make some for two Trace Elliot cabs - top quality kit IMO. Quote
spongebob Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 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. Quote
bozzie Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 another thumbs up for RS here. Ordered one for my electric blue combo, initial one was too short, rang brynn gave him the measurements had another sent out out by return of post. Quote
wateroftyne Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 Cool! I'm just heading off to a gig now. Normally I'd take an amp and a cab for this one, but the new cover is so cool the Promethean is coming with me... Quote
MB1 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 MB1. Twelvety out of Twelvety! Top Quality U.K "made to measure" covers Quick turnaround from initial order to delivery Excellent Customer Service Wouldn't have a cover made anywhere else! Quote
mingsta Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 +1 on the good timing With more band/gig stuff coming up, I've been looking in to covers for my GB Shuttle 6.2 210T - I think I'll go with Roqsolid if they've been getting lots of good feedback on BC> Quote
karlfer Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I changed cabs that many times last year they should have invited me to the Christmas do Seriously though, brilliant products and fantastic service. Well done them! Quote
The Dark Lord Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I am gonna buy some covers soon - but I think this company looks like it makes slightly better stuff. [url="http://www.ampcovers.co.uk/"]http://www.ampcovers.co.uk/[/url] Quote

Hot Tub Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 +1 Got a RS cover ages ago for my little Ashdown practice amp, and it's a quailty cover. I use a big padded Silverstone job for my gigging combo, but that's another story.... Quote

[/quote] 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.... Quote
mcnach Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 After reading the reviews, I just passed Silverstone and ordered with Roqsolid for my Markbass CMD121P combo... now wait Quote
neepheid Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 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. Quote
gapiro Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Another +1, have one for my barefaced midget. Superb Quote
WalMan Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 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 Quote
Dr.Dave Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 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. Quote
Dan Dare Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Coming to this a little late, but +1 from me. Have 3 of their covers. Fit perfectly, swift delivery and very good value. Edited February 10, 2015 by Dan Dare Quote
