This one probably more accurately shows the colour difference. Still on a dark stage no one would know.

Mate, they look well matched. I was initially impressed by how you managed to find matching tolex and its only your going on about it that has made me look closer and I still can't really tell the difference.

Thats a really tidy looking job. Wish I had those kinda skills! Nice one!

Judging by the photos, no one at all is going to know unless you tell them.

I might suggest using a hair dryer or heat gun over your grill cloth to tighten it up.

Thanks for the tip, I imagine on low though?

The really good vid I think CDog sent me the guy lightly moistened the cloth before stapling it to the baffle, then as it dried it tightened up :)

Could you refrain from using the word "moistened" on my thread, I'm surprised admin haven't given you a hand slap already!
But good advise none the less.

Very much honeymoon period, but I can't seem to find a bad setting in this amp yet! Had it running on the 15watt setting with the MV engaged (goes against most people's advise online) and it was still sounding great!

An unusual pairing, especially with a Vox! But I actually quite like it which I wasn't expecting.
I was hoping to get a G12H30 to go with the Fane but budget dictated unfortunately. Still hoping to get one at some stage as it is one of my favourite speakers but this is working pretty well so far.

I have a C12Q in one of my amps (the Ampegish flavoured one) and it's great.

Yeah it's not to bad actually I've never tried one before. (Pretty much only ever used Celestions)
I think both of my speakers are traditionally used in more clean Fender type circuits but they actually work pretty well together for my Vox. The Fane is apparently 101db so I thought it would drown out the Jensen but they sound about the same to me from about a metre away.

Got some new speakers coming for my cab so while it is empty decided to do some remodelling on it!
Reduced It from 350 deep to 300 which seemed a better fit for the Vox head and changed the front surround while I was there (mainly for aesthetic reasons) Looking forward to loading a G12H30 and Alnico Blue into this in the near future!
It ain't perfect, don't look too closely but it does the job just fine!
