Can anyone recommend a good hard wearing amp cover for the Nashville 400 etc ?
There seem to be quite a few online companies supplying covers.
Maybe someone on the forum has an unused one ?
Thanks
Bob

Bob - Unfortunately I don't have an unused cover, but I have used UK-based ROQSOLID for my amp covers in the past. Very good quality. Ebay advert http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roqsolid-Cove ... xyzi9SelUK
I have also got quite a few covers made by D2F in America, and they sell pre-made Nash 400 covers. Problem is that the shipping cost can often bump the cost up to a ridiculous amount. I bought a load straight from the manufacturer at the Dallas Show a few years back, so saved a load of money. D2F can be found at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D2F-Padded-Co ... xy7q1RX5zk

Thanks Ken.
I did see a listing for ROQSOLID on ebay. Might give them a shot. As you say, shipping stuff over from the U.S can get pricey.
It's always good to get feedback from someone who has used a particular product.

Bob, when I bought my Nash 400 back in 1986, there was no such thing as D2F, what I did was to get in touch with a local tent manufacturer, and they made me a cracking fitted cover out of tent canvas, and I think it cost me a tenner. Still going strong today
As Donny would say, there is no point in being Scottish, if you don't display it.
Asleep at the steel

I quite agree on that one Willie. Why throw money around if you don't have to. We have a tent manufacturer here in Gloucestershire. The smallest item they will make is a mini marquee - just big enough for a Steel, amp, seat, all effects, flask and sandwiches. They will fit wheels and mudflaps for an extra fiver !!
Thanks to all for suggestions.

Hot covers are the best. Better padding and durability than roqsolid, funnily enough

As Mr Gamble said, why not be truly Scottish, get a good strong cardboard box, cut it to shape, then cover in packing tape especially at all the right angles. lasted my 400 for about seven years before having to put another coat of packing tape to smarten it up, if you make it stiff enough you can use t as amp stand to sit amp on off floor.
Other suggestion is go to anyone who makes drum cases ( fibre type), again doubles as amp stand.
