Mr. Foxen Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'd take it up with the owner of the cat, and get a whole new cab out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If it still smells once it's dried out, stand the cab on its back and sprinkle a good layer of bicarbonate of soda onto the cone. Leave it there overnight (or longer if you can) then suck it up with a vacuum cleaner. Should take the smell with it. If the cab's carpeted, try Febreze, but don't get any on the cones.

alexclaber Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I doubt you'll ever totally get rid of the smell. On the upside I doubt you'll notice it in most typical rehearsal rooms or pubs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A[/quote] thanks for that i'll give it'll go as its still there not as strong as before.on a brighter note while i was in speaker mode yesterday i stripped out my little practice amp that kicks around the front room and ive built it into the bottom of my tv/bookcase/wood store unit i built out of mdf with teak worktop i built a while ago to keep the misses happy so now it houses the modified combi tucked away behind its own door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
