Marshall grill cloth

Post by Optical »

I'm looking at refinishing the front of one or two heads. Does anyone have or know where to locally source Marshall grill cloth? Or somewhere easily ordered online?

I'm looking for the faded brown stuff, I think it's called basketweave of cane?
Will consider anything in that vein though!

Best bet is to pop into the local rockshop and use a craft knife, just distract the sales people by setting fire to a telecaster first.

That is genuinely excellent advice. I need a fuse for my 59 Bassman reissue and I cannot for the life of me find one legally. I'll probably head down the local guitar center and pilfer one off one of the floor models.

Webb Enterprises(Mt Wellington) ala Auckland Rockshop are the agents for all things Marshall.
Contacted them a few months ago re some faux pinstripe grille cloth but they didn't have any available, you could try them though.
Doin' that scrapyard thing.
