Amp cover options

Post by GrantB »

What do we have in terms of custom cover makers people?

I used to use Dave at Sundown, but can't find a web site or any of my old emails to him.

And what about impact covers? Still going?

I'll find it and PM you.

I have a couple of covers here by the way. One for a 2x12 combo (Sundown) and another, lighter one for a 1x12.

The cover I have spare was made for a Bluesbreaker 2x12 combo but I've since put it on a deeper combo (that Top Hat one I think it was) and it fitted jolly well. If you're looking for one for such a combo I'll happily flick it your way to give it a go?

Free cover included too :thumbup:
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
