Pics of my gig rig post-facelift...
Got out the heatgun, some sandpaper and 3M spray cement and a few yards of new tolex... Here are the results-I'm pretty happy with the job-it's really nicely done, even, no bubbles, etc. These pics are before the top corners and head logo are on. Also, the grillecloth isn't attached yet because I haven't decided whether I'm keeping the white piping or going with Marshall-gold braid. This was fun and I should have it out Friday night.

Nice job!
It'd be real easy to tell if the checks were crooked, and I'd bet it'd bug you forever , but it looks fantastic and totally even. Impressive.

nice rig.
how do you like the duoverb overall? i wanted one after a few demo runs, but the amp was discontinued too quickly.
i liked the idea, though. one of their more unique ideas.

It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

The checkers were a PITA to line up. They look a little off where the piping is, but that's b/c those plates aren't screwed in/piping still loose. It actually looks great all together.
I really like the Duoverb as a gigging amp-extremely easy to use, more than loud enough, some really good tones and they're pretty inexpensive. The one trick is setting the presets at gig volume. I set all kinds of great patches when I first got it home and took it to rehearsal and it sounded like a$$ cranked. Out of frustration, I keyed in some presets at volume and they sounded SO much better. Built like a tank too.

If you have the decency to bring the '65 Jazzmaster out to your gig on Friday night, I'll be willing to suck up the 2-hour drive and get some bitchin' pictures for ya.
You ARE taking this amp, right?!?!

Not sure if the tolex would stick to korina.
I've got another Hamer Vector just like that one, but in surf green. Looks killer.
