Odd colour basketweave tolex as seen on Vox/Hiwatt/Matamp
Like the way I spelled "colour," in keeping with the British theme of the thread? Anyway...
Perused the 'net a few times, and cannot find an in-stock source for basketweave tolex other than in black, white, or occasionally red. Would love to find some green (as seen on http://greenamps.com, but they're out of stock), or orange (but Orange Amps must have all that stuff on lockdown).
Anyone know of a source?
By the way, here's the pattern I'm talking about:

Have you tried Antique Electronic Supply already?
Kerry Wright over in Fullerton might have some. He's the one who built the repro fawn tolex cab for my Vox. I'll PM you his number.

I actually do too. Is yours the same shade as your AC30TBX? Mine's slightly darker, but the right pattern.jsm610 wrote:I have some royal purple.

Thought I had a line on some orange, but it fell through (wrong style).
Waiting to hear if Matamp has any green.

...and they do not.
This is a great example of the green tolex I'm looking for:

Here's a green that Marshall is currently using:

Not sure if its exactly what you're looking for Kenny, but I was thinking you might be able to source it as its being used by a major manufacturer.

Cool idea, Paul !! Matching color Voxes and Rics.
On the plus side, You will set new trends in style !
On the negative side, since you bring a few guitars to each gig, you will have to get a small truck to haul all the gear !

Of course, matching Rics and Voxes goes back a ways:

Well, there you go..... I stand corrected !! Sorry, Paul, for my pre-mature accolades
Looks like the history books will give John Lennon and Kenny Howes the "matching tolex" style-setters crown !!
