| | | | I've got three lovable rascals of the feline variety. So far none of have taken to sleeping on any of my amps, but I did have to train one of em' to stop using one of my tolex covered cabs as a scratching post when I had it out of it's storage tarp. I can only imagine how popular a carpet covered cab can be with cats. |

| | | | Hay guys, I am new round here but have a little story for your.
A friend of mine had a family of mice move in the port hole.
He blasted them and, nothing. He rolled the amp about, still nothing.
Then one day he was at a gig and two mice walked out to see what all the noise was about.
As far as I know they still live in there.
Maddnes I tell you!! |

Cut the treble.
Boost the bass.
Plug in your bass.
Open the amp.
Kick the E string.
There's a thread on basses and cats,cats really like basses.

The unfortunate thing was that his cat had peed on his keyboard when he was in high school. The only lasting effect was that if he played the C above middle C, it wouldn't stop playing that note even after he took his finger off. He'd have to turn the keyboard off to make it stop.
Ruined a number of jams to hear "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - Sorry guys, cat pee." |

Although, my friends cat liked to play with my old strings after I restrung my bass at his house.
My dog gets really frightened though when I crank my new 4x10. They don't like loud noises |
