Re: How Hard Is It To Repair A Tear In A Cabinet Grill?
I second that, just get yourself some grill cloth, a couple of hours and a dencent instructional and you're finished. Something like this or a bit more elaborate: http://www.ehow.com/how_5768402_change-grill-cloth-guitar-amp.html

Yep the whole grill cloth should go. Well that would be the best solution anyway. Any other thing you will be able to still see after repair.
And it can be time consuming, but it not too difficult. And chances are you'll need to take large parts of the cabinet apart. But it sure will give some nice results though

The jute cloth that Mesa uses is really good and lends itself partly to the cab/speakers tone IMO.
I would keep the original, remove the top speaker behind the tear, and do a patch job from the inside with some black cloth hockey tape. Just piece the tear together and get it lined up nicely and apply the tape. (depending on the severity of the tear of course because if it's too far gone, then a replacement cloth might be the best option.)

====================
This is an argument that has been un answered since the first speaker with cabinets was/were invented a long time back in the day ( yep - the first speaker made with electromagnetic and or fixed Nichol / Ceramic were attached to a horn - the likes like the old hand cranked [ Victrola no amplifier ] and other's even older that used no electromagnetic transducer ) only after electromagnetic or fixed magnet transducers came along with electricity and pre amps and power amps .
There are those in the camp of :
Nothing should be in front of the speaker at all because of the fact ( alleged ) the sound reacts like water and is affected when it is passing through such things and thusly will have the sound altered in a negative manner .
- - TOMATO TOMATTO - POTATO POTTATO - -
Who cares , it's what floats your boat in the end , you have to please yourself as goes Ricky Nelson's song [ Garden Party ] .
Wanna see a wild @$$ speaker design :WEBSITE>http://www.specimenproducts.com/double-spinning-horn-speaker/<WEBSItE
As far as the speaker cloth influence on the sound , could be , not the first time the way a speaker and cabinet's particular sound is predicated on it as a whole and not just the transducer . Will it sound bad , naw and no one in the audience will know the difference probably , just you and others like me .
I want that spinner and the fixed single tower horn :WEBSITE> http://www.specimenproducts.com/xl-horn-speakers/ <WEBSITE
@ ¡¿ $1800.00 @ pair ?! :eek2: Gonna need a hit recording or hit the lotto heh heh heh .
Hmmm:smokin:mmm - Wonder if they'd throw in the speaker cases for these puppys :18: .
