I think it's boyecho that has this:

I wonder if he retolexed it. I looked into some tolex options a while ago but I had trouble finding colors that were spectacular, or in the range in which I wanted them. From what I remember tolexing a piece of a cab is pretty straight forward, right? Stretch and staple.

While we're on the subject of TOLEX, I have a friend that is wanting to get some PAISLEY TOLEX. Do you guys know where I could find some?
I found out that THD had some for a while, but no longer have it or something, it looks kool though.

What are the measurements of the amp you're covering.

you need a fabric tape measure. then you can wrap it around the amp and calculate up how many square feet you will need. Also take into account how many pieces you are going to be using and their lengths.

Get the dimensions for the height, width and depth. Then you need...

depth x width (two of, plus at least 4" to each dimension to give some extra to fold under)
depth x height (as above)
back panels

If they sell it at a standard 54" size, you can use that as one of the measurements and work it out from there.

Imagine it like a sheet of wallpaper. You want enough that you could roll a bit out, sit your amp on it with the wallpaper at the side, and then roll the paper around the side of the amp, over the top, and down the other side to meet the bit on the floor. Plus extra along the edges to fold under.

I remember Mars Music, when i lived in Miami there was a store across the street from me.

What's weird was that it wasn't even like the main store, which was huge. It was a little ass store next to a foot doctor above a blockbuster.

I guess that's why Mars Music went out of business.

I loved that place. I never saw a small one. Whenever I was in Nashville, I would go to the one there. Completely kicked Guitar Center's asshole.

my amp came stock in seafoam. it's one of the three they had at NAMM 2003. then they did a series of like 45 more later, i think.

i bugged mojo about seafoam green tolex so i could cover the 15" ext cab i built to match my amp, but they said they didn't have it.

i bugged them a couple of times, and i'm sure lots more people have, and it seems they finally got the hint.

so now i can order a sheet to do my cab. i'm curious if it's the same shade.

i was also going to suggest, rob, you look at auto reproduction interior manufacturers. the vinyl my stepfather got to restore his mustang with is this really awesome light sonicy/yet seafoamish blue/green. the visors/headliner and such have a tolex-like texture to them while the seats are smooth.
