NCCD: New cab cover day!

Double-walled corrugated cardboard + duct tape = new cover for my Barefaced One10! 😁

Pros:

- Cheap (£0, since I already had the bits)

- Looks crap, to discourage theft 😆

- Rigid enough to work as a stand too:

I haven't tested whether there's any resonance or similar sonic weirdness from the enclosed empty space, but if so, I'm guessing that stuffing a coat inside might help.

 

Cons:

- Splash-proof, but probably wouldn't survive having a pint spilled on it, or sitting on a wet/muddy stage. I couldn't be bothered to fully tape the inside walls.

- Gives as much bump protection as a cloth+foam cover, but the cardboard will crush rather than springing back into shape - it'll gradually give less protection the more abuse it takes.

 

I may yet slap a load of stickers on it 🎨
