Default Guitar Amplifier Covers

I just purchased an Ultrasound Pro250. I'm looking for an amp cover preferably with a little bit of padding. I like the "Tuki" covers but they don't have one for this Ultrasound model. I'm wondering if there is anyone here that could suggest where I might be able to find something similar...thanks very much

Call them and Tuki will make a cover for you. ALL their covers are made to order, the only difference being whether they have the measurements in their database or not. No extra charge, every cover is a one-off.

Late to the game, but just a +1 on Studio Slips. I had a cover made for my Rivera Sedona Lite, and it's perfect. Very well made, quality materials, nice selection of colors, very fast service.

Best.

I sent an email to both Tuki and Studio Slips. I guess that we'll see what happens next. Thanks for all of the help...

Warning. Tuki made a cover for my SWR Strawberry Blonde. While it fits, it is a very tight fit. So, when you order have them add an inch extra to all demensions.

Try this guy

http://www.lecover.com/

Excellent quality, will custom make them for your amp, and seem to be of a higher quality than TUKI

I really appreciate all of the responses above. I have emailed every source for amp covers suggested. Some of the sites provide more detailed information about the materials and processes used to produce their covers than others. I'm impressed with the response that I received from Studio Slips. I'm still waiting for the others to respond (holiday weekend, vacations and all...). I wish that I could find some head to head comparison of the various covers. I googled it and couldn't find anything. I'm thinking that Tuki covers are the best, but than Lecover looks very similar. Studio Slips obviously has great customer service but their covers mention quilted padding and Tuki criticizes that process on their site. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Update: I ultimately got a cover for my Ultrasound Pro250 from Susan at Studio Slips. Man, I am impressed with the materials and workmanship of this cover. Fits perfectly and they had never made one for this particular amp before. What a great experience. Highly recommended...

Just something of an 'outside the box' thought.

Recently I bought some case covers that Martin makes for their Gieb cases. They are great and I wondered what about for my electrics as I have a tooled leather case for my Tele and three other cases I don't want to ding up. After doing some research I found that RoadRunner makes a $39.00 keyboard case that is almost an exact for for the Fender and PRS cases I have. Now everything is protected from scuffs, etc.

Point being...you might find something that is really meant to hold something else such as a Cajon drum and that might just work.
