steve Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have a Fender Rumble 15 practice amp which my (wifes) cats have used as a scratchpost once too often, and where the carpet has once just sported a wooly afro, the holes are about to join into an absolute (to quote Superfurryanimals), so I need to re-cover it. Has anyone got any off-the-wall suggestions that would be neither too expensive or time-consuming for me to use as covering before I just splash on some red tolex? Must be cat proof! tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 If you skin the cats, would it cover enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Ta for all suggestions serious or not so far, I'm thinking of going with this [attachment=58645:barock.jpg] in sticky back plastic, mainly because ov how it's spelt on the ebay listing [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BAROCK-PATTERN-SELF-ADHESIVE-VINYL-450mm-roll-/190391795125?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c543c3db5"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BAROCK-PATTERN-SELF-ADHESIVE-VINYL[/url] [quote name='chris_b' post='953968' date='Sep 12 2010, 08:24 PM']If you skin the cats, would it cover enough?[/quote] I'm quite confident that the wife would be quite unimpressed if explored that avenue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
