Since my last post on the subject, I've finally got the materials to finish the amp. off, but not before being burned by Ampwares along the way.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5628
Decided that applying the tolex would be a bit of a daunting task, probably resulting in a result that I'd be unhappy with.
Took it to a local upholsterer who said that he could do the biz, and left it in his hands.
Got it back a couple of days ago...............
Unfortunately, the guy has done it a little differently !
As you can see, he hasn't followed the cabinet geography around the amp. slot.
He's simply stretched the tolex across the front, rather than following the cabinet contour.
Now, I wish that he'd managed to seriously shag something up, then I'd have every reason to tear it apart and start again.
But, it presents me with one of those yes / no, yes / no; it's OK / no it isn't OK dilemmas !
For the moment, I'm living with it. I've come to like the stitching - adds a "custom" effect.
But the jury's definitely out on the fascia issue !
Oh ! And the handle's definitely for aesthetic-purposes only !
