Re covering a Markbass 121H

[RayFW]

Does any body know of anywhere in the North West that'll re cover my Markbass 121H in carpet? My cat has been using it as an expensive scratching post and it's starting to look a bit of a mess.

Get yourself a beard trimmer, it works, honest!

Hi mate
Bought a new accugroove tri110 today, and put on top of my other one only then did i notice the cat rash!!!!
So as you say the most expensive cat posts ever and i have three cats sheesh!!!! so any tips would be great, perhaps a blunt razor(gillette) just to trim the sticky out bits of carpets (it works with suits when your guitar strap starts to bobble it.)
Not sure if its worth recovering, cats adore bass cabs

8 out of 10 cats prefer bass cabs :
All the best-LEE

My cats have done exactly the same thing with my Trace Elliot combo. An electric shaver will tidy it up if you are careful. I also need to glue some of the carpet back in place. Bloody cats!

Thanks for the tips. I hadn't thought about using a hair trimmer. I've got a mains one kicking about that I use from time to time - I'll give it a go later. Maybe I should shave the cat at the same time as punishment.

Lee,
Those pics are ace. The second one had me chuckling away.

I always cover my cabs up so the cat doesn't get to them, if you want to recover it's an easy job though, even I have done it before, and I'm proper lazy.

I used to nail some carpet to the wall for them to use as a scratching post. Mind you, carpetted cabs hadn't been invented back then and they weren't interested in trying to use leatherette-covered gear.

Gave it a "number 1" with the Wahl clippers and then an extra touch up without a guard and it's almost as new now!
I've bought a Roqsolid cover for it and hopefully that'll keep the pesky little bugger off it.
Thanks for the tips.

HA HA cheers mate!!
I think he;d had too much catnip or something, i was trying to photograph the cab to put on ebay and he would not leave it alone, didnt notice his stupid look till i checked the pics PRICELESS!!.
I tried the electric shaver and it works a treat, really chuffed!! dont know what my back will look like next time i use it though.
Definatly will be interested in buying some covers for the accu 110's, anyone know of any decent covers that will fit, the proper ones are £60 each,and im a bit skint do roqsolid do the accu sizes.
Cheers everyone -LEE (PS thinking of getting a dog!! ha ha)

My cats REALLY like my UL410, but thankfully I got a cover as a part of the sale (cheers Owen), which solved the problem before it started. They sleep on the cover, which isn't bad really.

You should see the state of my Ashdown EB though!

I'm not 100%, but I think he got it with the amp when he bought it as well! Pianocoversonline.com only do the 210 and 410, not the 310 for some reason . Sorry mate! Maybe if you ask Owen, he might be able to send you in the right track!
