Gear and dust
Gear and dust
I put covers on all my gear when I am not using it. I am starting to think that this is a little ott. What do you do?

I dont do anything, but feel I should really.
Re: Gear and dust
Nah, I used to be really anal about that, but now I don't bother... I mean I still clean/dust the stuff now and again, but no covers.

Re: Gear and dust
I used to not put cover on my keyboard. Then everytime I played with it, it was dusty and it stops my creativity.
Now, evertime I dont use my gears, I put cover on them. (except when I take a break)
And once a week, I pass a duster so everything is clean.
Now, what does mean OTT ?
Thanks.

Re: Gear and dust
I've not got any 'gear' to speak of, but if I did have I'd put covers on it for sure - my house gets dusty as fuck at the best of times! When the Block arrives, I shall - without fail - be making some kind of dust cover for it. I want that bad boy looking new for a very long time to come.

I don't have dust covers but i dust my gear every couple of days.
It's just not nice having dead skin and other nasties covering things.

Covers all the way! I used to take to my old kit with the Servisol switch cleaner spray but this was always the begining of the end for said piece of kit.

Re: Gear and dust
The plastic wrapping in which gear arrives comes in handy. I use it to cover all my stuff whenever they are not in use.
Maybe it is OTT but I want them to last for years, and that means no dust.

Re: Gear and dust
^ Also, keep the foam from the box whenever you get new gear.
It's a no brainer, it'll work perfect for padding inside of a bag or whatever you might carry your stuff around in.

Re: Gear and dust
I use custom covers for all my gear, I get them made at lecover.com. Definitely keeps things from getting too dusty, worth the price IMO.

Re: Gear and dust
i use my gear enough to where it doesnt even really get dusty at all, and if does i use a cloth to clean it, doesnt bother me at all as it used to
