It's a nylon material. It's a padded cover, and protects very well. I have purchased covers from LeCover on many occasions, and have been very satisfied. See pic below. The cut out is for the strap handle, which is mounted on the side of the cab. If you order from LeCover, ask for Larry, and tell him you want the cover that I purchased, he has the measurements, that's of course if you order the cart attachment.

+1 LeCover is great... great quality, great service, quick turnaround.

FYI to others, there are two options (each about $10) that I usually get. First, you can get it 'logo free'. Basically, Larry gives you a $10 discount to advertise his brand on your cover. Small deal, but I prefer the all black. Second, a tie down bottom velcro strap is a nice option for a small box, especially if you go with a spray-on finish.

I guess the one thing I would recommend is to do your own measurement to double check with Virgil's spec, since these small builders tend to slightly change things up on occasion (regarding placement and type of handles, etc.).

Rock on. A couple votes for LeCover. I would prefer no logo(cleaner look),but every penny counts these days.
Cab wiped me out,so I'll have time to do some research.

Ok gentleman, first of all I'd like to thank all of you for your comments and insights into the Glasstone product line. It was informative and useful. I took all of this information, including what I could find on YouTube, and decided to purchase a Lil'G. I got it in Royal Blue with a Black face, and all of the available options. I went stealth on the purchase, because I wanted to test and review it in my own time, without the "expectant mother" attention from anyone. After having put the cab through its paces, all I can say is WOW! It is everything it is described as being. Power and authority are words that come to mind. A very high quality build, at a great price! I am ecstatic!
I made the purchase late on Saturday 1/5/13. It was at my doorstep by the 12th! One week! The care he takes with his customers is very reassuring. I was no exception. He was in constant communication throughout the process, even after it was delivered. I have high hopes for this brand, and wish him the best in his future endeavors!
All I need now is a Membership number for the Glasstone Club!!

I will post more pics later. In the meantime, this is the pic Rev Glass took before he shipped it.

Wait a minute. That makes the acronym, GC. We may have to rethink that...

[diglo]

Congrats 1BassDreamer!!!

[Virgil]

Congrats indeed. We don't have numbers yet, do we?

[cybersnyder]

I *really* need to make a short road trip some weekend to try one of these.

[johnnybass01]

No....but it is starting to look like something we should think about.
I would have to vote Brad #1 and you #2. I guess I would fall maybe somewhere in the top 5 or 10....

I don't have a price list, but did just receive info indicating that for the 2x12 version, ...

The cost is 799.00 plus shipping, with the switch, I believe you can better control it.

Went on his site. Very impressed. The youtube clips of the 212 are nice also. That is a very good price for a cabinet like that. Reminds me of the walkabout design which I always wondered why more cabinet makers would not be interested with expanding the idea. Wonder what his basses sound like also.

I am on one of the Youtube clips. I played all of his basses, and they too sound killer. Very versatile preamps. The prices are very affordable, just like the cabs. You get a lot for your money.

Doh!!! The blue covering really makes that Lil G pop! I went with black but man, I really should have thought of adding some color into my backline. Very nice! I bet that Lil G sounds every bit as good as it looks!!!

Very cool that Glasstone is making very positive waves amongst a wide variety or styles. For my rock and roll/metal needs, this is my "go to cab" for the foreseeable future!! I'd love to try one of his basses! I have a Modulus Q5 and I'm not big on active electronics but if Glasstone's basses are as well designed as his cabs, my opinion would probably change.

Agreed. When people find out what he's offering bass-wise and how little he charges they'll probably kick themselves. I got my bass shortly before my cab. Wenge neck and board, nice top,lightweight but doesn't sound that way. Top quality hardware, mine even has an East preamp. He's offering basses like this with choices like Reed neo pickups, Teslas, Duncan NYs, Pope Flex core preamp, even the ACG/ East filter pre and keeping the price under $2k. Killer aggressive 5 string J basses. Like his cabs, I told them they're very underpriced. Oh well... I got mine.

I love that blue. The keyboard player in one of the groups I work with has a 1-12 Lil G keyboard combo in that color and it looks great, especially sitting next to mine. He replaced his Roland KB500. If I do a 212/210 stack (complete overkill for me and my gigs but it sounds so good...) it'll likely be this color with a matching baffle. Just a really rich looking color onstage. Congrats.

Rich, I can't remember which of my rigs you heard outdoors in Columbia. The Nahas or Bag End stack. Either way, my Lil G carries on in that full range/ not colored tradition, sounding as big as my Nahas stack in less than half the size and weight. I'd like to be there if you make the trip just to see the look on your face the first time you hear it. It's become a very familiar look, the same one I had.

:what:

I don't remember the cabs, just the Markbass and the Brubaker. And the singer chick was wearing white, for some reason. I'd love to get rid of my cabs and drop it down to one cab to rule them all. My wife would be happy too.

I'll let you know when I make the pilgrimage. I have a new bass in the works, so I'm not quite ready to order. Probably another month or two.
