I could make you one though :)

I'd butcher this one but I actually did it in one piece of tolex so I really don't want to hurt it in anyway. I did it in one piece because I thought it was for you lol.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

What's the advantage of one-piece tolex? I'm thinking being more seamless means less likely to peel over time. Hope you did an equally thoughtful job on the cab covering : )

It just looks better imo. Nah your head is 4 piece covered! I'd used my big piece on the combo ;)

I could convert the cab still, but the base of your head is 9 1/2" (damn you americans) and the top of the combo is 8 1/2"... there would be over hang.

Collecting this weekend. Strongly considering getting BG to build me a matching cab... a Mesa style vertical 2x12 but in Fender drag.

I do think that will be damn awesome, however give me warning as I need to order in silver grillcloth, extortionate price in nz. I have some stuck in european shipping currently, but not enough.
