Marshall 1974 build
Parts have all arrived, I've started soldering but bloody guests have been sleeping in my guitar room for the past ten days.
BG has been working hard on the cab. I'm not sure what grill cloth to go for with the Emerald Green tolex. Thoughts?

Re: Marshall 1974 build
Personally I think no. 1 cause that is what I used with my blue tolex. Will look stunning with green too.
Edit, I meant ONE, not 3. Wasn't looking at the numbers, just assumed the first photo was one, and then two, etc...

Charcoal or black.
DrZ agrees.
viewtopic.php?f=49&t=40323
3 and 4 look like they will never recover from a beer spill or toddler sneeze.
2... I think my grandma had that exact linoleum in her kitchen.
If something dark isn't an option, then 1 I guess.

Re: Marshall 1974 build
Looks like 1, 3 and 4 'cloth' are all made of the same type of plastic, so same affinity for snot and spills.
But yes, agree with your excellent choice of 1

Re: Marshall 1974 build
I’d go with 1 

How can I be sure I'm here?

Re: Marshall 1974 build
I chose 1 but I don't like green Tolex, oxblood and blue Tolex look nice
