Can I patent Road(ent)worn?

[Clarky]

Not having gigged DB since 2019, my gigbag has been in storage in my garage since then. Imagine my surprise when I pulled it yesterday to discover that it has been half-eaten and ravaged by mice. I feel a new commercial opportunity for mice-relic'd bass gear under the Road(ent)worn banner. Kerboom tish

I've had the privilege of seeing this up close and personal ... the damage is even more impressive than this photo suggests.

When it's real roadworn, then it has real mojo.

 

As opposed to instruments that are  ' reliced '  at the build point, which is just sad

Just checked out Mousechat and someone has posted the following:

 

"Took the kids to church as per normal and after a nice meal by the river we returned home to find that some absolute animal has stolen our house! We moved in three years ago and after extensive renovations had just got it the way we wanted. Really, you wouldn't expect this to happen in Hammersmith..."

Same guy just posted 'Class D cheese - diabolical'

 

Obviously a former TalkVole member

Maybe Rat Scabies could be interested in it?

A shrewed investment, for sure

An old band mate used to have a Strat that had been mouse masticated.

 

He got it cheap from a bloke who had stored it in his loft for years. Roland and chums had been nibbling away at it so a chunk of the lower cutaway was missing.

Wonder what flavour your gigbag is?

Instead of cheese in a mousetrap, Clarky's gigbag flavour bait?

[Rich]

There was some discussion about this on BassRat earlier. Opinion is split as to whether Stentor or Gewa bags taste better. Of course, some of the more hardcore types are saying that hard cases taste best and only wimps eat gigbags.

Is it good for Rat-tle?

"Ravaged By Mice":  new band name.

I'd like to see a Roland Strat...

Maybe they thought it was a case for a Rob Allen Mouse.

Your garage is a boomtown for rats.

Best get a ‘Rat Trap’ then 

[miles'tone]

Customoused chambered gigbags are all the rage right now. Especially when you're rushing out to a gig.

[ubit]

Can I have 5 minutes of your time to talk about Cheesus?

Before they get to his peat briquettes.

Fender Rat-ocaster

 

Always preferred it to the single coil Jerry-caster

[nilorius]

You could call it - T-rex gigbag.

The culprit has been identified

[Pea Turgh]

I had an issue with mice when my stupid cat kept bringing in live ones for sport and misplaced a couple.  One of them did my Barefaced cab in (probably heard about tolex issues and thought I wouldn’t notice).
