Looks like a pretty good idea for a product. I noticed that your 11
posts to 7 or so different newsgroups are only about these covers. In
saying "I ca't wait to get mine" are you also saying you that have
absolutely no affiliation with this firm at all? Just curious. If you
were affiliated (not saying you are but if you were) I think it'd be ok
to just introduce yourself and the idea once. Maybe there's a
reasonable, sorta fine line that an entrepreneur could walk at the
outset. I don't like spam but I like hearing about new ideas on
occasion.

I use a medium sized, canvas, padded, camera bag with moveable, padded
inserts for the few pedals, tuner, ac adapters, etc, that I carry. I
think those are far better protected than they'd be along the side of
the old pig of an amp that I bang in and out of the car trunk. I might
like the pockets for longer cables, but probably not. I loop those
through the velcro handles on the camera bag. Personally, I'd probably
be more interested in just a plain cover at a good price made of that
ballistic nylon. But everybody's different and old habits die hard.

Ooops. The camera bag I use is nylon, not canvas. You see 'em in
various shapes and sizes in all the stores.

I had a "chat" with the person posting on other newsgroups and it was one of
the guys with the company. He understood the spamming thing and was very cool
about it.

The covers do look like a good idea to me, but the prices are beyond what I can
justify. Here's a price quote for some of my amps:

Please quote prices (both types) for my amps:
Fender Princeton Reverb -$149.00
Fender Pro Reverb (Same as Twin) -$179.00
Fender ProSonic -$179.00
Fender Vibrolux Reverb -$149.00
Marshall JMP 50w Mark II Head -do not offer.
Ultrasound acoustic amp (www.ultrasoundamps.com)-$179.00

Dang, I had my wife sew a cover for my Crate 125D. She spent maybe $20 on the
pleather(plastic leather). Looks like she'll have to buy some more. I want
pockets on my amp too......

Maybe, but for this newsgroup I only have a Centaur Acoustic P.A. and an
Ultrasound with powered extension cab.

I tried to get a price from this kangaroo site, and that didn't work. Sent an
email, and that was returned by the "mailer daemon". I have no idea if this
outfit even exists and is in business, but, if so, they don't know how to run a
website.

Then Sorell can ask -
"Is that a lot of junk in your pockets,
or are you just glad to see me?"

very lumpy

That's because he grew up so poor that they had to cut holes in his
pockets so he'd have something to play with.
