Ok so you've bought the fender hot rod deluxe iii and your putting it in and out of the car,in and out of bars,pubs,clubs,back into your music room and then out to the bands rehearsal room.........BUY A FLIPPIN COVER. it will protect your amp which means it will hold its value or even gain it 50 years on when it doesn't have a mark on it and ending up being worth a fortune to some fender nut!
