Amp COvers
Remember that guy on TradeMe that made custom amop covers. Anyone know how I can contact him, or of another alternative maker? I need one for my TopHat Super Deluxe. Thanks, *U*.

Dave makes excellent leather guitar straps (I bought six, used some for gifts and kept four for myself) and amp covers.

Re: Amp COvers
In my opinion a cardboard slip cover is the next best thing to a flight case. You can make one in 30 mins and it will protect better than a canvas or vinyl cover.

Re: Amp COvers
at $120 a pop, cardboard is good enough for me. Can I borrow your nails and bailing twine Mr. Rocklander?

Re: Amp COvers
I'm not entirely sure buying a cheaper product constitutes an upgrade...

Re: Amp COvers
I should imagine we want covers to stop the tolex getting ripped/torn and speaker cloth getting ripped/torn and speakers getting ripped/torn - when bouncing around in the back of moving vehicles on the way to/from gigs/practice 
of course it wouldn't stop them from falling out of the back of a drummers car....
