Getting a cab recarpeted?

[Simonightmare]

So, I have a Peavey 115BX which is carpeted rather than plastic, and I also have two cats who are rather fond of clawing it. It's been left in the hall whilst I've been looking for a band [playing at home using a Torque combo just for the neighbours sake ] and there's been some damage to the corners.

All I'm really looking to know is should I get the whole thing recarpeted [and if so, at what kind of price], or should I just get some strips and attempt to cover the problem areas myself [and if so, where can I get supplies and what is the best approach to doing so?].

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Get some gaffer tape on it, ya big jessie.

Or get some "Kitty Mitts"

Strip all the carpet off and paint it with that stuff for lining truck beds.

Gaffer tape - that'll teach the little buggers for scratching, specially when you yank it off and take a load of tabby fluff with it and they go running off down the garden... oh. Ah. I see. You meant put the tape on the cab didn't you?

There's more than one way to skin a...

What about repairing it with cat fur? It's much more durable than carpet.

Just tell people it's part of the new Peavey [i]Roadworn [/i] series.

It's not damaged - it's relic'd.

+1 to using the stuff used to line pick-up truck flat beds with (ToughKote or some such)
Or go to an In-Car-Entertainment specialist. They sell the sort of carpet you'll need, plus the spray adhesive to fix it to the cabinet.
Definitely a DIY job!

I would like to meet the designer who thought covering cabs in carpet would be a good idea. Preferably when I'm carrying a bucket of tar and a large bag of feathers (or dog fur).
