New slipmats made specifically for your 45's from Matsmats. These 7" mats feature a built in 7" adapter (check the close-up). Thick construction.
has anybody seen or used these in real life???

good for scartching?
somebody on here has got to have seen them IRL though.
i'll come back in 2 weeks after i've tested them out
its basically a slipmat the same size as a 45 with another piece of slipmat material the size of the 45 hole sewn on top. so its rasied up off the main mat by one layer of slipmat material. i was hoping it would be something you could leave on the platter and take 45s on & off quickly from. to get the 45 to fit on their snuggly you have to take it off the platter and push the 45 adapter part thru the record and then sit the whole thing back on the platter. not really that big of a deal but it wasnt quite what i was expecting.
that being said i think they will be really good for mixing, backspinning, and scratching. since the adapter part is basically the same thickness as a record it gives you more room for your hand to manipulate the record. where as on the sx2s you dont even have to touch the actual record to manipulate it.
pretty much
