Speaking of trouble, tbf - I totally get why your missus would be kicking up a fuss if you have just started something with a saucy blonde 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Very nice! 3 commissioned basses in one year? Next time you tell me that you don't have funds to buy my BF SC: a) I'll know exactly why! b) you'll find me totally sympathetic to your missus, and c) I will thank you, as holding on to that 21 lb cab was a really good thing to do! My BF SC does not have any tolex issues... ... aaand we're seamlessly back on topic! 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a fan malfunction on one of mine a while back and couldn't believe how hot it got in the half hour before I noticed. Did it melt the tolex so the rubber feet were stuck to the top?

EBS_freak Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I don't understand why this is so hard to achieve? A bit of carpet spray and that tolex will be going nowehere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll perhaps try that next. But I’m not sure if it will work. The edge of the sticking out tolex is quite stiff, and I suspect the tolex itself has shrunk/changed somehow. This may be why the kit I got from BF didn’t quite have the expected result. I’m interested to try an iron at a low setting with a tea towel covering it on the tolex. I suspect heat may reform it to a better shape, as well as allowing me to manipulate the glue again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very careful, I managed to screw up badly trying to re-glue a seam on a carpet covered cab doing just that! Melted ratfur is not a good look...

Melted ratfur is not a good look... I hear you on that. Going to maybe try the very lowest settings and make sure the tea towel is good and wet...hopefully low risk stuff...

I was referring to the manufacture, rather than the fix. Me being me, I'd probably rip the whole thing off and go again from scratch. If the thing is peeling already, shouldnt be too difficult to rip it off and sand it all to prep for a new tolex cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha now That’s way too much work for me. I don’t have time to do that. And paying someone else to do it is probably not economical. So...I’ll try little fixes for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironkerton Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It looks too bad to cope any more. Easy solution - I'll take the hit and you can drop it off at my house and I'll suffer the visual pain 😜😜😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
