Jase Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Just had a cover made for my HA3500 by Silverstone, brilliant quality, perfect fit and ideal for keeping dry when it's belting down with rain at a gig. Very good prices and a quick service! [url="http://www.ampcovers.co.uk/default.asp"]Amp Covers by Silverstone.[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It whiffed a bit to start (the material they use) but that has gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanOwens Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hey guys. I'm looking at getting an amp cover for my techsoundsystems ND115s mini. Its an odd shape so It'll be a custom order. I'd love one for my Hartke A35, but its a kickback design so side-on its a trapezium-type shape. I'd need some kind of clip-system to keep it on properly and I was wondering if the amp covers have any sort of mechanism or design where the case is held together on the underside of the amp/cab? I imagine I can email the manufacturer (and intend to), but I was just wondering about your own experiences. Ta. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I've emailed for a quote for my Epifani UL-610 ... As much as I would love Epifani's own cover, the cost + £shipping was a bit more than I could stomach! I'm interested to see what these guys come up with!

stewblack Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've spoken to the guy at Silverstone (my 8X10 comes with two different handle arrangements - potential disaster!) and he was really on the ball, great comms now awaiting the cover.

Jase Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Aye, not bad are they. I'll be ordering one for a 810 at the end of the month, it's a must this time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Cover just turned up for my nemesis 8X10 combo. It is very well made but a very snug fit. Took a lot to get it all the way down - I'm guessing it'll ease with use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basszilla Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've got one of these for my AD200B. Top covers indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hmm. Can't raise them on the phone, - does anyone know how much the fabric relaxes with use? This is stupidly tight. Takes about 20 minutes to drag it on inch by inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylon Pilson Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) [quote name='stylonpilson' post='305957' date='Oct 14 2008, 06:29 AM']I've just placed my order![/quote] So the cover arrived 9 days later. I was utterly ecstatic - the build quality is superb, but it was a couple of inches too short. I emailed Shaun and told him my problem, and he showed concern and took all the relevant information. I haven't heard from him since then - it's been nearly two weeks, and I've sent him a few emails, but he hasn't replied. I don't know whether he's in the process of making a replacement, or if he's ignoring me and hoping that I go away. UPDATE (Wed): I've had a reply. The replacement has been made, but he was waiting for me to send the old one back. FINAL UPDATE (Fri): I sent the old one back on Wednesday, and the replacement arrived this morning. No problems with it. I'm slightly annoyed that the whole thing ended up costing an extra £5.72 (for posting the incorrect one back) but I suppose this is probably a rare occurrence. S.P.

He agreed to pick it up and supply another one and said in lieu of the bad service, would give me a better model. I was delighted. Pick up happened within a week or so but then took emails, phone calls and pestering from me to get the replacement. Only arrived after I asked for my money back!! guess what, was the freaking standard model I had originally ordered. Took about a month to arrive and I wouldn't use them again as their service appears to be a lottery which is a shame because I genuinely liked the guy.

Dood Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yea, I don't wanna add to any bad press, as I'm sure it's an isolated incident.. but after a few emails I sent that were requested to confirm the dimensions of my cab, so I could pay for the quote... the trail seems to have gone a bit quiet. I'm gonna have a google see who else makes covers... Maybe I'll have to fork out for the rather expensive Epifani ones afer all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Is this guy back in operation then? I never received any replies to my emails, so I gave up on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
