Yes I just waxed my MPX3. PLEASE someone tell me they have done this . My wife just came downstairs and asked "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" . I said waxing my amp she said "WHAT A WEIRDO" !!! I must admit it looks REALLY good though

. Sooo Has anyone else done this or .......??????

 

[gordolindsay]

Oy!

Actually, if I could afford the MPX3, I would wax it.......often.

 

[Uncle Erik]

Can't hurt it. I haven't done this yet, but waxing is a good idea. For one, I don't think you're crazy.

 

[Hi-Finthen]

Of course, we neurotics don't think you've 'lost it', not at all...


*goes to look for that can of turtlewax misplaced, for the preservation of the LemonYellow paint job on the Mapletree*

How 'bout some pictures of your shiny MPX3 then?

Rest assured, no one here is going to call you a weirdo. I admit to shining my iPod with Brasso (not anymore though)... those were the days of OCD

x 2.


And no, you havent "lost it". It's just like people waxing their cars. Now why would someone want to make their box-on-wheels, which is for distance-covering purposes only, shiny?

Hell I wax my head, now that is wierd

 

[Dept_of_Alchemy]

Shiny is good.

Would love to, but unfortunatly the only computer I have with a floppy drive is down for the count. I have an old Sony Mavica (FD83). I REALLY need to invest in a new camera , but when I have spare money laying around I always spend it on more audio equipment and music. I will get a new one soon.

Actually, let me add a similar story. My gf was being nosy and started TOUCHING the tubes on my amp. TOUCHING! ... there were finger prints all over them. I quickly got out the rag that came with my DV cam that i use to clean the lens and gave my tubes a good cleaning. I cant stand it when people touch them.

How much it costs? Well it can be summarised with one word: expensive

(for me at least I won't speak for those with Supra, Supra-XLR, Maestro, SDS-XLR)
