Best way to create custom 'dust covers' for gear - 02/03/13 10:21 AM
Rhetorical question - well, maybe not so rhetorical, but I don't want to put anybody on the spot:
I tend to have some silly habits:
1.) I cover some of my electronics and gear with ugly looking plastic bags to protect them from dust, thinking that they'll live longer. My wife hate the 'look' of the room with these stupid, ugly plastic bags all over the place.
2.) I tend to buy instruments and gear - and then not use it until several years later, almost as if I'm 'preserving and protecting it' for future use. And almost as if I feel "I don't want to play that better instrument until my musicianship improves a little more". So - I have some really good equipment that's been sitting unplayed for more years than I care to share in this post.
Is there a group out there for people like me to get over these ridiculous habits, so I can actually start enjoying and using my instruments and gear ?
And for the sake of my wife - please give me some ideas on how to make some custom dust covers so my music room doesn't look like a sanitation pickup station : )
...or convince me that dust isn't really going to decrease the life (of the equipment I don't use lol) because the chasis and pots are sealed adequately.
