Orange please! (Marshall cab redo)

[Ayrton]

My orange superlead needed a matching cab, so I snagged a cheap 1960B off Craigslist, and recovered it in my usual fashion.

I went from this... (borrowed pic)



To this...



This was my first (and last) "modern" Marshall cab redo. All of my other cabs are '70's cabs. I can tell you the black goo Marshall calls glue these days is the worst crap EVER. Not only does it stick to everything but tolex, it is the most difficult to remove.

Never again will I try this with a post JCM800 era cab.

Dude. Teach me.....

Where'd you get the grill cloth?

Re: Orange please! (Marshall cab redo)

The tolex and the cloth came from Mojo.

I normally get the stuff from Marshall USA, but they no longer offer orange tolex or cane grill.

The tolex is pretty much a dead match for real deal Marshall, but the cloth is a shade lighter than the real deal. I doubt anyone would notice unless they were side by side.

I know I've bugged you about this before, but have you ever photographed all your amps/cabs?

You've got a killer gear collection. I want to see it all. Actually, I want to play it all!

Once I get this round of projects finished up, I will shoot some pics. I still have several guitars that are in pieces, but plenty to picture.
