PSA: MPC Live 2 Decksaver is coming

EnochLight wrote:After shelling out almost $80 USD for a Decksaver on my Live MK1 when I had it, I found that I didn't like travelling with it. I was always afraid i'd crack it! Just stuck to a padded carrying case instead.

I still hate using towels for gear covers. They look bad in a studio, and don't protect as well as you think (check the lint screen on your clothes dryer for details).

I really want to test the decksavers with a big rock but that would be stupid maybe there's a youtube vid but I really just dont care. And yeah towels do look unprofessional in the studio... But so does a speaker on a sampler if you ask me... I doubt many of us 'need' to look that pro in our 'studios,' & microfiber towels will be fine.

Most of them are around £35 here in the UK including shipping, and that includes 20% VAT, so around £29 ($35). That seems an okay price for a niche product. But I agree, I wouldn't pay $80 for them, that's some serious mark up.

This thread made me wanna get some decksavers to show off my gear when I'm not using it.

Screw you guys.

For that price, DEFINITELY worth every penny (or quid or pence or whatever )

You first!

** [[ UPDATE ]] **

Decksaver just reached out to me and said that the MPC Live 2 Decksaver is to be released "shortly". Keep an eye out if you're in the market for one!

It’s finally here!

BTW, I don't remember ever being to order direct from Decksavers from the US. Looks like this is an option now, and the cost is the same (after shipping) compared to buying from Sweetwater or Zzounds. Weird.

Anybody picking one up?

Question: has anyone here, based out of the US, ever ordered direct from DeckSavers? They just sent me a confirmation that my order shipped, but with no tracking number. Just trying to estimate the average shipping time (pandemic and holidays notwithstanding)..

UPDATE: ordering direct from Decksavers in the UK got my new cover shipped via UPS Express Saver. I ordered the cover on Monday 12/7, and it's scheduled to be delivered across the pond to the US on Thursday 12/10. That's quite impressive, as the total cost was about the same as ordering it from Sweetwater (which has them on pre-order right now)!
