This Grill Cloth?

I believe that to be oxblood. Oxblood minus the gold threadings you often find in Tweeds. Am I correct in my assumption?


I think oxblood will look great with my rough blond tolxed cab. Just wanting to make sure I get the right stuff.

I have a 2x12 tweed cab in tweed with silver thread oxblood.

My D'Lite head cab is rough blond with black basket weave.

I have thought about changing the amp cloth before but probably won't do it until I get a new 2 x 12.
I want to get one with a oval port in rough blond.

I'm not sure if it is the photographs or what but neither of the two amps shown look like oxblood, like Carltons bottom amp is.

This is my amp head, with the black basket weave.

This is the tweed 2x12 with silver oxblood.

Is that Tweed Oxblood though? It looks to have some gold threads. I like it but it's a little too transparent looking.

Where did you get your head cab btw?

I should have turned off the flash on the camera. There are no gold threads that is just the flash bouncing off certain angles in the clothg. It looks much better than that in real light.

It is a fairly transparent cloth, but against a black baffle it looks fine.

Here's a better pic, I moved back a lot so the flash is diluted.

Great, Oxblood it is.

Thanks for the edit Tom, that 212 grill is what I want.

The second photo is Larry Carlton's gear.
He also has a black Overdrive Special as well. the other blonde one may be Robben Fords??
