Members Weathered Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Cloth - I don't abuse my cabs, and metal can come loose and vibrate. Plus, I like more classic styled amps, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Joshtruction Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 metal. Just seems like a safer idea for people that gig a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thinkpad20 Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 I've got a cab with a metal grill, but I think I might cover the grill with some kind of fabric. Do you guys think it would change/muffle the sound at all, if it was pretty thin material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members exposeenmity Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 G-Flex here, so metal obviously. I really don't care one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members weehaw Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Metal for me. I would have a cloth grill if it was something I wasn't gigging with or moving around much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knucklefux Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 i just picked up the expanded metal i had cut for my 1960A, so, uh, metal. nothing bigger than a pencil will be able to poke holes in my speakers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cg_25 Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Clearly cloth, As you can see with the above metal grill the dust on the speakers is very visable. I have an old crappy wasburn bad dog and I recently had to take the grill off to clean 6 years of dust away. Aswell cloth blocks out more dust.

Members ToneGrail Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 While I like the classic look of cloth, unfortunately I've destroyed a couple Marshall cabs on tour. I'm organizing a multi-act tour next year and I have to provide the backline. I'm going to buy a couple of carpet covered 4x12s with metal grills and leave my beloved Marshalls at home. I'm also going to buy a couple of reliable solid state heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members starsnuffer Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Plexiglass! Metal grill Bogners are great too, the emo kids can cut themselves on them without having their mommies buy them razorblades. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flyby Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 I prefer the cloth look ..though metal is much better protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a road case with them thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crack Hitler Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Both. I prefer the look of metal and the ruggedness, but cloth can be nice too. My two Jackson cabs have metal grilles. My Peavey Butcher cab, and my Lopoline 212 are both cloth. I'll probably replace the cloth on the Peavey cab because it's starting to look a little ragged. The lopoline cab is blond with oxblood grillecloth though, and it looks gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
