I recently got a staple gun (initially to make bass traps - worked out well) and so I decided to swap the grill cloth on my Blues Jr.
I have been trying to make myself like this amp for about 10 years. I did pretty much all the billm mods (including the power supply related ones, but I'm still using EL 84s - maybe I can change that next) swapped the speaker and the reverb tank, and when I exhausted myself with audio mods I switched to cosmetics - e.g. drilled the chassis to use a jewel lamp (with a white LED underneath) etc. I - well - I still don't like it but maybe this sexy new marine themed grill cloth will tip the scales.
The old cloth was both glued and stapled, but all I did was staple this stuff and I didn't stretch it perfectly in the horizontal directions but I think it came out OK.
I played through it and reminded myself why I don't like it, but then I tried a different guitar with low output pickups and it actually sounded decent. Maybe I can accept that limitation and start over with this thing.
