Best place to buy Grille cloth material?
Hey y’all,
As per thread title. Looking at replacing the front grill material on my old Laney head, don’t need much material to cover it. Quite partial to what they use on some of the Mother amps...

Just wondering what the popular options are?

I’ve been getting it from newoldsounds.com. Pricing and shipping is reasonable and quality is great.

Cheers. Forgot to ask, what kind of glue would work best? It’s going straight onto rimu.

Re: Best place to buy Grille cloth material?
Yeah often is. What’s on there now is obviously not what was on it originally, it’s just been glued on with no staples used anywherejeremyb wrote:It's normally stapled isn't it?Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:Cheers. Forgot to ask, what kind of glue would work best? It’s going straight onto rimu.
Should be an easy job to replace with a new one, just wanna make sure I use the right glue. Failing that I’ll have to find someone that has a good stapler, hmmm Steve Bartlett might let me use his in exchange for a nice bottle of red

back when Jansen were in Kyber Pass, they had a MEGA AWESOME SECRET stash of NOS fender grill cloth, and a bunch of other rolls.
they still may have a few yards.
I did my cab with an industrial table cloth from a catering supplyer, peeps cant tell the difference.

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

How well does that kind of material cut, was thinking I'd use a stanley knife but do I need to be concerned about the ends being all raggley?mrmofo wrote:I did my cab with an industrial table cloth from a catering supplyer, peeps cant tell the difference.

That's why you have a baffle - to run the cloth around the edges and staple on the back, then trim, so you don't see all the mess.Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:How well does that kind of material cut, was thinking I'd use a stanley knife but do I need to be concerned about the ends being all raggley?mrmofo wrote:I did my cab with an industrial table cloth from a catering supplyer, peeps cant tell the difference.
Re: Best place to buy Grille cloth material?
Yeah, that would be a lot easier. This is going onto a solid wooden front and there's no gaps to run the edges off into.Conway wrote:That's why you have a baffle - to run the cloth around the edges and staple on the back, then trim, so you don't see all the mess.
