How difficult/expensive is it to replace a screen on a guitar cab?[views:1504][posts:12]________________________________ [May 16,2007 9:00am - xmikex ""] Like if there's a tear in the screen... how difficult is it to repair that? |
| ______________________________ [May 16,2007 9:01am - Mess ""] find a window screen about the size of the cab and nigger rig it? |
| ________________________________ [May 16,2007 9:05am - xmikex ""] how about if it's someone else's cab, and I don't want it to look like crap. |
| ______________________________ [May 16,2007 9:30am - Mess ""] bah fung gulooo! |
| ________________________________ [May 16,2007 9:31am - xmikex ""] haha |

| ________________________________ [May 16,2007 2:18pm - Raycm ""] Use liquid stitch to temporaraly repair it, give it back to who ever owns it followed by a "what'd you do" when it tears again. |
| ______________________________ [May 16,2007 2:51pm - blue ""] what kind of cab is it? |
| __________________________________ [May 16,2007 3:02pm - Niccolai ""] show a picture of the cab so i can tell what kindof fabric it is. if it's like the silver woven fender style screen it can be expensive, but you could always just buy a square yard of fabric and make a new grille out of it with a staple gun. Works and looks good and doesn't effect sound. alot of people have been doing that with urban camo fabric. |

| __________________________________ [May 16,2007 3:08pm - Niccolai ""] looks like the fender? or like the mesa? The mesa would be slightly easier to fix. |
| ________________________________ [May 16,2007 3:13pm - xmikex ""] excuse me, the mesa. |

That's how I would approach this, and probably how most repair stores would too short of sending it out. if you want to repair just the tear on the existing cloth, good luck, that compound fabric is a pain in the ass. |
