What the hell is this? Hashtag lost the plot.

Just got this through my email...

Seriously?!

[TheGreek]

Even I wouldn't impulse buy this...

[Hellzero]

Ok, could someone tell me what's the real use of this cover ?

Maybe for those living in castles to match the carpet on their stairs...

But what about the little silicon sucker? Surely that's genius!?

You’d be a sucker to buy one!

It's not April 1st yet is it?

A cheap square of thin fabric draped over the top would be cheaper, cover the entire instrument, and not look stupid.

I've just ordered ten. With a five pound saving on each one I've just saved fifty quid in a matter of minutes. 

I can now get a 'free' set of flats with the money I've saved, and still have some left over. 

[EBS_freak]

A fool and their money...

 

so, alternative uses?

50 quid would have got you some time with a shrink.

I'm not wasting my time with a shrink when I could be running through the streets with ten mini capes flowing in the breeze behind me.

Less dust = better tone , fact

Could be relly useful if you were a sandblaster who liked to noodle at lunchtime?

Anyone got a Hohner BA2 or whatever they are called? 

[EBS_freak]

Cricket bat?

That's it, awful 80s Reggae bass. 

[fleabag]

Condom for a bass neck - this years fashion faux pas

[EBS_freak]

Just worked up and realised that in fact, I did post this ridiculous dust cover yesterday.

*pinches himself*

*blinks*

*facepalm*

I can almost see the point for people, like me,  who are too lazy to put their guitar away in a case after playing... 

But by their very nature would be too lazy, like me, to put this thing on when they finished playing. 

Yup... It doesn't make sense! 

[EBS_freak]

It's got Dragons Den candidate written all over it :-p

[gs_triumph]

Could order one with 'HANDS OFF' printed on the front for leaving guitars on stage in between sets.

Or you could just put the guitar back into it's case - because there's always one idiot that can't read.

(or thinks that the wording doesn't apply to them)

I did wonder what all this was about! Roqsolid make great covers, and I have used them and recommended them lots over the years- in fact, I have an order lined up for a couple of cab covers, and some bags and pockets for bits and pieces, too. Can't knock them on that front.

This does look a little like a way to sell up off-cuts though.

Theyd be better off sewing all the off cuts together and making covers from them to sell to people that want the functionality of a cover but don't care about the looks.
