Since we're showing our cabs with their clothes on, here's my C112T cover with standard padding from LeCover. It fits quite well.

AudioKinesis Cabs Part VI...

regular is plenty, imho. they did my 1203 covers. they're very good.
This post is long overdue but I thought I'd share pics and my thoughts on the new TC112 v4! I told Duke that the cabs would primarily be used as bass cabs but I also planned to use them with my home stereo and perhaps even a small PA.
Duke suggested using the higher power handling compression drivers that he uses in the TC115. I readily agreed and asked him to install stereo connections as well. My switch in the back is a bit different. In the up position it is 'flat" and in the down position there in a very gentle roll off of the highs, which Duke said was better for home stereo use. The roll off is subtle, but as the home stereo volume goes up the roll off keeps the harshness out of the program music.
To top it off I spec'd one of the cabs to have a tilt mechanism on the bottom.
It goes without saying that these are absolutely outstanding bass cabs. I use 4 and 5 string Fender Jazz basses, both active and passive, and the TC112s reproduce the basses in a clear, balanced, punchy, non-boomy way.
The Genzler MG800 head is a perfect match for the TC112s. With the switch and port plugs on the cabs, and the wide variety of tones available on the MG800, I can get any sound I want. For my tone goals, which are clear, clean, smooth, balanced and punchy, I've never had it better.

Yes they are LeCovers. In fact I sent Larry a picture of your cover to show him what I wanted. Inadvertently the covers were cut for front to back handles instead of side to side as I specified, but I can still carry them with no issues, so I just kept the covers. They're well made and offer great protection.

I think at this point it's an inevitability that I'll be ordering one of these. Outstanding.
received Tuki cover for my H1506 this pm. black, basic padded model, looks & feels like it will offer good protection for some years to come. i'd say my base model Studio Slip H1203 covers are slightly more deluxe perhaps, they're more supple, but the Tuki may offer more protection with thicker padding. both do the job well. the fit is perfect for my taste, easy on and off, like an old Fender cover. one thing additional it has is a detachable bottom strap with velcro ends that can securely fasten the cover to the cab by way of strategically placed velcro pads on the bottom front and rear of the cover. i will probably never use this feature, but i understand the utility of such an arrangement.

Fun night yesterday, with a bigger / more energetic crowd than I expected on a rainy weeknight.
Had to tuck my setup in a corner (tight stage for eight musicians), but it sounded great nonetheless. New bandmates (guitarist and trumpet player) both gave compliments on my sound which they described as "Warm and fat, but with great note definition". The P-bass / Bass Block / AK cab combination is the bee's knees, IMO.
The street the bar is on was closed to traffic for a festival (of which I was unaware until I got there), so I had to park further away. I didn't bring my cart because usually there is parking available right in front, so I had to walk about two blocks with my gear...still only took one trip, though!
In case you're wondering about all the mirrors: You guessed right, the place used to be a strip joint.

Even if I weren't a total G&L slut I would still feel compelled to tell you how gorgeous that burst is with the black pick guard.

Haha, no lasers! That place is kind of a dive, but it is always fun to play. I doubt they've changed anything since it opened. It still has one of these things in the washroom...
...and a rotary phone at the bar (which totally cracks me up each time I hear it ring).
Oh man, from one G&L slut to another: Thank you! I love this thing. I caught the P-bass bug listening to guys like Chris Wood, Michael League and Tim Lefebvre. I prefer a slimmer neck so I went the custom order route and chose the "jazz" neck profile. I almost had it done in Margarita metallic, but then thought I'd get tired of it once the novelty wore off, so I changed my mind and chose Honeyburst instead. Glad I did, I think this colour combo looks great in any context. My other bass is a L-2500.
I’m extremely impressed that you have a photo of the bathroom towel dispenser.
Well...sorry to disappoint but that's from Google image (not the ACTUAL dispenser from last night). I had to do a search to find out how this thing is actually called (English is my second language). Turns out it's a "Cloth roll dispenser".
No, this place is on St-Laurent street, corner of Marie-Anne. It's called "Le Balattou", and from what I gather it must've seen its last stripper in the early 80s (it changed ownership in 1985). All the furniture looks original though. Next time I'm there I'll make sure to take a picture of the DJ / MC booth - it's something else!
