JeffKeys Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hey folks, Just acquired a new Motion Sound amp and Im looking to get a padded cover for it. I used to use Le Cover. but they seem to be defunct after trying many times to contact them. Anyone else make high quality padded covers? Thanks in advance!

kenheeter Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I just got a new pair of Mackie powered speakers and wanted to keep them in good shape. I bought a moving blanket for $15 and took it to a local sewing shop along with one of the speakers. He turned it into two nice slip covers for $80. All in for less than the cost of one bag from Mackie which was too big and heavy. Worked for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Schmieder Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Custom Amp Covers is the best I've come across, for custom (and often ready-made) covers on amps that don't have good ones available from the vendor or a non-specialist third-party. Affordable for what they deliver, and often available in custom colours (especially to match tweed/etc.). They sell direct and also via eBay. I average $40 to $60. Tuki is slightly more expensive ($80 to $100) and also sells both direct and via eBay, maybe on average delivering slightly thicker covers, but similar quality. In your case though, it seems there may already be one available.

JeffKeys Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Well, Im having a spot of trouble with it. Got a buzz when the expand is turned up that gets louder the more the expand is intensified. Other than that, I have to say that it is MUCH better than my KP-500SN! Especially for acoustic piano (using a Nord Stage 3). Much more powerful too (both 500 watts.

Adan Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I've had good luck with Tuki. Quality padded amp covers are worth the investment. Quote Gigging: Crumar Mojo 61, Hammond SKPro Home: Vintage Vibe 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMan Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Check out www.lecover.com. I use their heavy duty, padded covers on all my gear. They last forever. Talk to Larry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned in his first post he wasn't able to reach them, thinking they have closed shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawback Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Studio Slips did a great cover/bag for my SSv3 before they were popular. I think mine was the first one. Susan made a bag that carries the amp face down and the clamshell style makes for easy pack and carry. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear.

Shamanczarek Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 +1 on Studio Slips. I have tried Tuki and they are good but won't make covers to fit less common items. Studio Slips will make anything you want with some choices of style and options. They have always fit perfectly. I have Studio Slips for seven amps and a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass.

Only protection ever provided I liked better are QSCs Tote Bags. Quote Magnus C350 + FMR RNP + Realistic Unisphere Mic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardware Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Definitely like the Studio Slip tip. Ive seen the double padded Browns before but forgot the name the guys told me. Thanks Quote Magnus C350 + FMR RNP + Realistic Unisphere Mic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffKeys Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 To set the record straight, I got a call from Le Cover Larry today. They are not defunct after all. Just not returning inquires very promptly. Love his covers, though and will likely order this one from him. Thanks for all your kind recommendations!!
