Currently using the Selleys waterbased contact adhesive, dries clear, doesn't smell etc
yeah the kwik grip is brilliant. a little goes a long long way compared to the ados liquid type stuff

If I need to use ados, the spray stuff is best. Still messy but less so than liquid.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Standard wood glue for the wood :)

Import to test any glue on the tolex you're using. I've seen tolex shrink or worse, wrinkle (a whole 4x12 cab! thankfully it was mine, so I could redo if wanted) though that can take weeks.
