Like the title says, I have a JCM800 2x12" combo and I need to replace the whole tolex in white. I will provide the tolex and have the whole cabinet stripped so whoever is willing to do this for me will get the empty cabinet and nothing else.

I need it to be properly done and here in London. If anyone can do it for me, please contact me and we'll discuss details. My e-mail is pedals@pedalprojects.com

Cheers!

Common, there's got to be someone who can do it?

Did you try calling any of the local music shops? Or any amp builders in the area?

Yeah there's one place I got an answer from that could offer the cheapest price of £79 if I provide the tolex. I mean, it's not a steal but not too much. I was hoping some enthusiastic guy who is confident in doing it for a little less would reply here :D

Man, if this retarded jackblackish monkey can do it (and didn't kill himself) you can, for sure

I've already looked at this video and I tried. I failed miserably! :oops:

I admit, I didn't have the same adhesive spray as he did. I bought another one that I thought would work but it didn't. I thought it would be easy but it just wasn't as easy as it looks in the video. The cab has a weird front corners. The head cab in the video is so straight forward and easy.

Wow men... you're lost! 8) Just joking :lol:
Your strange shape looks like this? In this case you can use a hairdryer to stretch the tolex and achieve a softer behavior when you're appliyng it.

When I was building speakers cabinets years ago, I did rely on an old carpet craftsman.
He asked a few €uros x box and made his job in minutes...
