JackLondon Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Alex, I was wondering if you're planning on getting some covers for your cabs? I don't know if you had any other enquires about it but given that some customers would probably love to have a Barefaced cover, I would ! Jack

alexclaber Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I've been meaning to sort this out for ages but haven't got round to it. Putting the logo on them is a good idea - I shall get on the case! Alex
Mr. Foxen Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Do some iron on logos, so people have the choice of cover.

On and waterproof as well.
chris_pokkuri Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Any progress on the covers? I'd like one for my BigOne.
Noisyjon Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Alex, I found this page on Roqsolid's site: [url="http://www.roqsolid.co.uk/page.html?id=7&zenid=vi57o0ap3gnmatc1hodal14991"]Barefaced Compact cover link[/url] Is this something you set up? If so is there a hole for the handle do you know? Regards, Jon. Edited July 26, 2009 by jonthebass
davidmpires Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Looks like it is. But i'd like to see a picture before I buy one. It will help keeping the pristine look.
Uncle Balsamic Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I was just talking to them about Big One covers the other day, which they say they would happily do - they just need dimensions and handle location and the like. I think the Compact being there just means someone's already ordered one and they've kept the dimensions. Every order they do is a custom one, so I don't think they keep a stock of them.
Etienne Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I've just ordered a ROQsolid cover for my Compact, and requested that they confirm the location and dimensions of the handle slot before they start making it- I should get a email through by tomorrow I hope!

Apart from the first few cabs everything since has been to pretty tight tolerances, just a mm or two either way. Alex

At least then people could see if they have a freak cab. Merton and I have compared measurements on our Vintages and discovered that my side handles are 1.5 cm higher than his -- who's got the freak? If it's Merton (whose measurements Roqsolid have used), then anyone who orders from them without checking the measurements might be in for a surprise when the holes for the side handles are half an inch out! Of course, if it's me, I'm used to being a freak.

I hope all my measurements were right (I did treble check after Owain's message....).

It arrived on Monday this week, and is getting its first outing tonight. I chose the plain black seams, but other colours are available if you fancy something brighter! It seems very well made- not as plush as my old Bergantino covers were, but probably more roadworthy in my opinion. The Berg covers were almost [i]too[/i] nice- I felt like they needed covers too! Both the outer cover and lining feel tough and durable, and the stitching is spot on. My only (very minor) niggle is that the handle hole is slightly offset by a few mm to the right, but as it doesn't affect the use of the handle, I'm not going to worry about it!
Merton Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Nice! Yours seems to have arrived quicker than mine despite being ordered afterwards... still no sign of my one
thestick Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I ordered my vintage cover on 25th aug, still do not have it!! they said it must have got lost in post, so they say they will send another,which was three days ago so still waiting. hope it comes soon, they seem very helpful, but....

EDIT: did you double check your handle positions? If they match mine you're ok but if they match Owain's then you may have a slight ismatch on your hands... Edited September 11, 2009 by Merton
davidmpires Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Hmmm Alex any chance we can get some Barefaced stickers, I like the covers but I want my to have the logo...

thestick Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Recieved my cover today, very good fit but the side handle slots do not line up, as you say but you can still use them as its not by much. I ALSO WOULD LIKE A STICKER (LOGO)
