Monckyman Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I`m considering re-covering an 80s ampeg cab which is pretty tatty, but I`m not having much fun finding ampeg tolex. Allparts UK have an Ampeg Tolex page, but it`s blank. The only other obvious source is Fliptops in the U.S. I don`t suppose a couple of yards of tolex and a couple of foot of grillcloth will cost much to ship. Anyone have any good guesses? Anyone have suggestions for a UK source? MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebassman Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I used these guys a few years ago, the tube amp doctor from Germany. They do a good range of tolex and the right glue, great "efficient" service too. heres a link: [url="http://www.tubeampdoctor.com/catalog.php?product_search=tolex"]http://www.tubeampdoctor.com/catalog.php?p...ct_search=tolex[/url] cheers thebassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Thanks for the reply Bassman, but I`m not seeing anything specifically Ampeg there. The basket one does look close though. I have a few sources for good looking Tolex but none that match Ampegs modern version. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up buying Marshall red for my Fender bassman 135, mainly just to annoy the Fender purists though lol. It is very good quality stuff though. I do remember some eBay sellers doing Ampeg stuff a while ago. Cheers Thebassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
