Pow_22 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Im after an amp sleeve rather than the usual rackcase type offerings but all I can find on the likes of eBay etc is ratfur covered efforts. The tolex ones seem to go for an absolute fortune. I know I could go to the effort of buying the rat fur ones (which are around £25) and recover it but im surprised at the this seemingly big gap in the market. Anyone ever comes acorss the tolex sleeves at all that aren't in the sort of £75+ bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 You want a good one and a cheap one. Do you think you should buy both? There is also a great opportunity to get that market. We are waiting to see your fair offer in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b7l4s Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Good quality rack cases/sleeves etc. are always more than you think they are going to be - even shelves and blanking panels etc. seem pricey... I guess they don't do enough volume to be able to make them cheaper? To solve the problem on the cheap you could try and find a secondhand tolex covered 2u case, and use it without the lids, or maybe locate a beyond-repair amp already in a suitable sleeve that you could re-use (like a Trace Elliot) ? Other than that, recovering something like the fuzzy wotsits you've already seen is probably the only way to do it for less than £50... unless someone knows different, in which case I'd be grateful to hear about it as well!

Jack Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It's an easy DIY job. But if you add up the cost of all the pieces you'll see why they're expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
