Anyone know of a place in town that will replace tolex on an amp?

I suspect any upholstery place might do this but does anyone have recommendations/experiences? - Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:23pm

I looked into this a few years ago.. after one of my lovely drunk freinds knocked my Boogie head off the cab and it got torn down the side..

Call ALLOY music.. they have some old feller that used to work for an amp company and he does it.

Not that I ever got mine fixed mind you.. - Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:16am

Thanks. Where can Gord be contacted? Does he work out of a local shop? - Fri, 13 Nov 2009 9:17pm Edited: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 9:17pm

If it's a vintage amp think it over; you might be affecting the value of it (negatively, unfortunately).

If it's a newer amp . . . I always prefer the look of a broken in amp (personal preference, I know) . . . better to sound marvelous than look marvelous.

You can also do it yourself (cheaper option, it you're good at gift wrapping you can figure this out). If you want to I can get most makes of tolex in. E-mail me off list if yer interested. - Sat, 14 Nov 2009 8:24pm

I agree about the stock option on vintage gear. It's actually a clone amp in a homemade cab - so its pretty ugly the way it is now.

thanks for the replies - Wed, 18 Nov 2009 9:37pm
