Got my studio slips cover for the Mark V 25!

Just wanted to share some pics of the awesome new cover I got for my Mark V 25!

The stock slip cover is very nice but I was nervous carrying it around and putting it down on NYC streets with the reverb tank out there. I considered going with an ATA case but that brings the weight up so much I felt it defeats the purpose of a 16 lb amp.





Ordered with double padding, strap, cushioned handle, and leather strips on bottom.

Cool bag.

I always just used rolling carry on luggage myself.
It's already padded.
Comes with wheels and is inherently light.
Most have lockable zippers and a convenient telescopic handle.
You can pick them up for $20-$50 easily at Wal-Mart or Target.
Plenty of other pockets and such for storing cables, pedals, picks, etc.

Nice.

What did that run you?

Nice. May order one too.

As specced it was about $150. The base is just under $100 but I plan to carry it walking 1-2 miles with guitar and pedalboard so opted for extra straps and padding.

I thought of going with rolling luggage too but figure the cost of repairing just one snapped knob or switch will be higher, I always go for good cases.

I picked up this bag, fits the Mark V mini plus a small pedal board and cables ect...

These are well worth the $$$. I just got one for my Roadster head and I'll get one for my MarkV after I convert that from a combo to a head. They are durable, light, and easier to manage than a hard case. I play locally, nothing over a 6 hour drive and I pack it myself. I still use a hard case for my pedalboard but that may change soon as well.
