Repair blog 001: Changing grill cloth, speakers, casters and repairing handles on a Marshall cab

[@richardthelionheart01]

I love when Jim Morrison rebuilds amps.

[@geofffreeman8226]

I feel like im your apprentice and I trust any and everything you say. Thankyou for making these videos!

[@DoktorDamage]

Another excellent video and tutorial !!! Thanks Brent !!! Yes, I am 4 yrs late to this party lol.

[@roberteffler3382]

I dig your video, and how to reinstall the logo was priceless, but that grill clothe is what us old timers call checkerboard which started showing up around '70 '71. Basketweave is what was used from about '67'68 until then

[@philipbard2333]

This was a huge help to me as I replaced my grill cloth and changed out the logo. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[@JohnK-id1zj]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you. Commentary was excellent as well lol

[@tylerbraun7600]

Had no Idea you played for GWAR. This video helped me so much rebuilding my 2x12 1936! Thanks dude!!!

[@CyclopsGuitars8642]

Great video!!! When the video started I was shocked at how much you looked like Jim Morrison. Video was a big help,thanx

[@davidspiller9431]

Just love your whole attitude, not getting caught up on being perfect, But at the end of the day it is perfect. thx Rocken Dave

[@DrewCreal]

I appreciate the high level of information and the sheer volume of f-bombs dropped. Thank you sir!

[@lexhitreset]

you knocked this video out of the park man, thank you so much.

[@JamieTorevell]

Love it, going to be changing the grill cloth on a 4x12 I just bought so this really helps!

[@cindarella1100]

That grill looks great 👍good information, great job 👍 from: Scranton, Pennsylvania

Totally Awesome watching a Master at work, I spent years as Audio Technician and notice a lot of the same method I’ve used in car and pro audio over the years. I’m a major fan of yours, keep up the the great work......

[@CharlesWillisBonsai]

Dude, thank you for this video! I just replaced the shitty black grillcloth on my JCM 900 cab with some sweet big checkerboard grill cloth.

[@ericvandruten]

awesome video! i'm looking at putting on some custom grill cloth for the next run of live shows, and this will be a great help, so thanks!

[@brucereed8368]

Just found this video. Quite helpful, thanks! Doing almost the same thing to a '70-'80 1960B I just scored in a pawn shop for $200. G12-65's in perfect condition. Someone re-grilled it with a black Fender-style cloth and I am also putting new large check cloth on it. After hearing you I decided to salvage the old handles - so you saved me $50!! Now I will continue to look for a video to show me how to restore the corners and those pesky rivets!! Cheers!

[@hankramos8663]

Excellent work. Do you do a video of how to apply tolex to a speaker cab?

[@KennethMarchMusic]

Imagine getting this at a flea market, or something- poppin' it and discovering 4 greenbacks! Score!!

[@heyjarrod]

That was cool to watch, learned a bunch. Awesome! I wish you would’ve showed the finished look. But I guess we all know what that looks like anyway, just curious how yours came out. Keep up the great work!😝🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸

[@thefilthygringo9228]

Awesome tips and demo!

[@Catacombenstudios]

Very helpful video! I've just ordered a new grill cloth for my 1960 lead cab and gonna try this out as well! Not sure if I will replace the wiring and all that, but still, thanks for all the insights!

[@EddieB2047]

Awesome man What size logo goes on 11”? I have a 1979 angled cab I’ve seen some with checkered and 9” logos claiming all original Just curious if you might know Thsnks

Very informative video! Thank you maestro

[@rdanalytics9197]

I love this video madly...

[@JR_Taylor]

@Purgasound do you think the baffle from a modern 1960a marshall cab will fit in an old 73 1960a cab?

[@purgasound]

That's a good question. Marshall cabinet sizing has always been consistent but construction methods and tooling might have changed slightly. I'm not sure when they would have started using CNC machinery exclusively and that could play a role in the baffle sizing which could be off by a slight margin.

[@JR_Taylor]

@@purgasound good point, thanks. I'm going to give it a try so I'll let you know.

[@thomasjameson5761]

This was a bad ass video and really informative, thanks man!

[@rhythmless1]

I saw the tape on the back of the cab and had to google U.S. Bastards. First song I listened to was SOL. That's some really good shit.

[@jamescassidy4045]

Anyone have idea what some good places are to get the most authentic looking/feeling Marshall style checker and salt/pepper grill cloth? Also Tolex as well? I have a 3 Marshall Cabs that I basically need redo everything. A Late 70's UK 1960A, an 80's JCM800 UK, and an 8412. Also, with older cabs like the 70's/80's, will refurbishing them hurt resale/collectibility even if they are pretty beat up? I'm planning to keep my stuff, but just curious.

[@MarshallCommaDave]

False, i can see this guys face in the beginning of the vid

[@markolivares6943]

Very nice.

[@creoquesoyunrobot]

Thanks mate! Great video! Bravo!

[@michalscibior6468]

Nice. The only thing that might make this video better is maybe don't drive a screw through the cabs soul. That's the center pole that the cabs back rest against. There is a reason manufacturers don't put that screw in the first place. Here's some reading for You. The cabs soul not only provides support for a big piece of plywood that is the cabs back, but also stops the back from vibrating from the sound bouncing inside the cab by applying tension against it. When You hear something rattling inside an ol cab while You play, it most likely is the back rattling against the soul (or a fd up speaker). The fix is not to connect them with the screw tho. It's an easy way to fix the rattling, but... Take something soft like cork matt or a piece of rubber or foam thin enough so You can glue or somehow attach it to the soul so its between it and the cabs back, and close it using the screws on the edge. You will eliminate the gap that causes the rattling and the cab can breath again. Let me know if that makes a difference :) cheers!!

[@tmcwhirr]

Great vid mate. I have a 1960 angled cabinet to refurb. Its got black grill net on the front, any idea where I can buy this? The black vinyl on the cabinet do you know if this is available on a roll or per meter? All the best with the channel.

[@tjn0110]

Great video, very informative channel!

[@adamstanley4778]

Thanks Jim morrison

[@matttaylor1449]

Seeing that Marshall logo being worked off of the grill cloth as difficult. I had to skip ahead for fear it was gonna break :-) haha

[@Cmoth040]

Thank you. I know how to do basic upholstery, what I didn't know was how to remove the Marshall logo from my old "Lead 12" without breaking it. I bought this amplifier along with a Peavey Patriot from a pawn shop in 1988 right after I graduated high school. They were my first purchases toward playing the guitar. This little amp means a lot to me. I finished replacing my grill cloth and reattaching the logo a little bit ago and it looks great. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

[@gabrielcarpenter6770]

that looks so easy thanks...

[@blakkno666]

Have you ever replaced the plastic corners? Are they easy to remove?

[@xxblindchild]

awesome vid!

[@TheAhirishman]

I subbed. Love the honest video. Sometimes i say "Sunofa- fuckin bitch" And then i feel better.

[@southlanfilmsusa]

I would have liked to have seen the finished cab at the end, but good video

[@mentalstampede]

Hell yeah! Are the 4x15 cabs put together the same way?

[@purgasound]

Yes almost exactly. I have my own 4x15s in production now. Stay tuned!

[@mentalstampede]

@@purgasound dude! How many og ones do you have now? I just want to stand in front of them and have my face melted.

[@RobertGraham]

Did you know you can order new casters and sockets directly from Marshall? They are $12.99 each A set of 4 without sockets is about 30 bucks. Marshall also sells All the parts to beautify your cab after you retolex it. It's way cheaper to buy the parts from Marshall than from someplace like AES. Some stuff you can't get from Marshall but AES does have the 11"logos for $22.95.

[@jensk4140]

I'll do about the same. I'll make a new birch baffle as well.

[@billyharis9892]

Thanks mate although it would have been nice to see the finished product ie the grill cloth with the logo and badge.

[@asherplatts6253]

Somebody told me that twisting the wires helps produce a self interference pattern that cancels out radio waves and 60hz hum... is that true?

[@purgasound]

Yes but not necessarily in this case. There's a long answer to why we use twisted pairs of wires in different applications but this is more for neatness than anything else.

[@jprsdas]

Thanx for the vid bro good shit

[@wkjamieson]

Great video man. But you didn't even show the finished product!

Just sayin'; I started watching your videos, but I no longer will because of your language. It is so not necessary, and it is quite offensive and that is a shame because I was enjoying watching/learning from them. As a grandfather myself it was delightful to see your daughter included in the videos, and I would like to think that she never hears that but having a son with daughters too I know that is not the case. Good day to you sir.
