NGD: New Grill Day! (Is this a thing?)

[Flacco]

So I love my Rumble 800 but I felt the black on black just didn’t do it justice; no mojo you know? So, once my two guitarists decided to get matching Marshall’s, I thought I would have some fun a get a matching grill cover to update my combo. I must say that I am more than pleased with the results which made it look like a vintage amp. The best part is I still have the old cover just in case. All in all the project set me back $50. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Noice.

 

[Pizza1988]

Definitely adds character

 

[GitmoMango]

Now just leave it in the corner of a smoke filled bar for 6 months to get a little mojo and you’ll be set!

 

[Nebula24]

Nice.

Reminds me I want to get some chrome corners for my studio40. Too much black.

Like your idea of building own cover too.

 

[Doctor Morbius]

I like it! I would probably use silverface type grille cloth if I were to do something like that.

 

[Ghastly]

I love it! Classy! Oxblood would be nice, too.

 

[JRA]

great job! nice.

 

[line6bassist]

Love the look!!!

 

[jchrisk1]

How are you supposed to smoke a brisket with that?
I came here with something else in mind.

 

[2saddleslab]

A worthy transformation. Well done.

Looks great!
I just sent off for the Fender silver cloth to recover my Stage 800. All black isn’t doing it for me either.
I had planned on just removing the black and recovering in silver, but a replacement frame has me thinking. Did you just template the stock frame? What size board did you use? Thx!

 

[Danny C]

Very nice

 

[Brodizzle]

Unique and classy. Nice work.

 

[PennyroyalWe]

Ahhhh, I wish I had grabbed one of those hand stained p basses when I had the chance. Nice grill, looks good! I’m thinking of trying a re-grilling myself.

 

[Fab Superlative]

Wait, what? your Rumble 800 is keeping up with two Marshall's?

Am I the only one who clicked on this thread title expecting to see a Weber?

I was kinda hoping to see a Big Green Egg myself.

Great job, OP!
For $50 that's a great modification.
I think @two fingers has done something similar...

I went the other way.

I had a silver grill on am Ampeg 610 AV. I changed itbour for a black one to match the SVT-CL on top of it.

Here you go! I had my NGD a few weeks ago. This thing is awesome!
