Give the man a Kewpie doll...
A long time back I decided to recover the amp as it had become somewhat tired and shredded but when looked into the cost of tartan material it became somewhat cost-prohibitive, so it was very much on the back-burner, much like the required repairs and capacitor replacement that the beastie also needs as I don't intend to try to get back to regular playing until post relocation...
Anyway, we've been looking for storage solutions that are easily stackable and moveable for a bunch of stuff and suitcases are a good option if cheap, and a local charity drop-off point gets them on a regular basis, selling on for circa £2/$3 - bought six on Saturday, and there in the 99p rack was this
huge tartan skirt, so...
Deconstructed it this morning and the resultant material may be just enough for the job - about 2m/yds by 600mm/18"...
Wrapped some of the material round to give it an idea of what it will look like... not sure what to do about the replacement piping or its colour...
