Why?

Really, why? Looks like shit, gets smelly quick. .

I don’t know.

This bass amp with carpet covering has a big woofer


sorry in advance

I once bought a bass amp, met the dude at a parking lot and within a minute or so after taking off, my car completely stunk like spices.

my old cat loved mine, used it as a scratching post

I was so unhappy when Fender released those grey-carpeted guitar amps in the 90s...

Not my favourite thing either... but those metal, diamond grills found on so many bass amps are equally wtf-able

My buddy has a 6x10 (pre-fender) SWR cab and it sounds fucking incredible. Unfortunately it has carpet and a diamond grill, so it's hideous.

Hahahaha – I KNEW there was a bass amp that had both of those features! Couldn't put my finger on the name. A friend of mine had one too, the 2x10 version:

Haha, same here I got a 90's 15" Crate bass cab from a friend who found it in a dumpster (Yup, has the same hidious looks as the SWR cab posted here above). It must of sat in moist place for a while as the carpet reeked really bad.
I was adviced to use some carpet cleaner on the thing, which I did. Smells much better nowadays, but you really want to keep your pets away from these things as they are like magnets to animal hair....
And cats love 'em to sharpen their nails on

Those carpet covered things are not well liked for the obvious reasons...
Sometimes I see these things in thrift shops for little money, so you step a bit closer to check 'm out and you immediatly step back after you smell 'em... So they stay in the store forever....
