Nickthebass Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I'm going to order covers for a Get 2 Midget and Compact (15) most likely from Roqsolid (with the added foam stuff). Does anyone have a picture of one that they could share? I'd like to get a sense of how big the placeholder strap is. I was planning to get the covers in "carry mode" (i.e. with the handle on the top) which would mean that one of the long sides of the cabs is only covered by this strap. Anyone got any better alternatives to Roqsolid or know who makes the current Barefaced covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) I recently got a cover for my Ashdown 4 x 10 from them and they are a nice piece of kit. Size was perfect thanks to @Lozz196 having placed an order with them before for the same cab. It took 4 weeks for the order to be made but it`s worth the wait. A couple of other folks mentioned Hotcovers based in sunny Carluke as well. Edited July 23, 2022 by jezzaboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They said I wouldn`t need it on a large cab. The fit is so good that the cover stays on itself but is still easy to remove. Mine has the inner sleeve that you can slide something into such as a piece of heavy duty cardboard or similar for extra protection due to having only a cloth grill. One of the guys recommend it and it`s only a few extra quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSCOWBASS Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I've had Roqsolid covers, I found they wore out. HotCovers are better quality..IMHO. I believe Barefaced covers are made by HotCovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I have the roqsolid covers for my gen2 midgets, with the strap and the pocket for the grille protection (I used some very rigid foam board) I bought the covers when I got the cabs which were some of the last made before the switch to gen3. Mine have held up great, just minor fraying in the edging at the corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I have both Roqsolid and Hotcovers. Hotcovers are of better quality and more thickly padded (I use them for my PA speakers). Roqsolid are perfectly decent - if a little less abuse-proof - and cheaper than Hotcovers. You pays yer money and takes yer choioce. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) I have Roqsolid covers for my two Barefaced One10s and Super Midget. I got the strap underneath for the One10s but didn't bother with the Super Midget cover, it's not necessary as the covers are a tight fit. I would recommend them. I have a Barefaced cover with my Super Compact. It has a Roqsolid label on it. Edited July 24, 2022 by BillyBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickthebass Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Thanks for the input folks. I have ordered some covers with the extra foam padding. There is currently a 15% summer discount running which pretty much covered the extra cost of accelerating the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
