Custom Options?

Following my hard luck story with FedEx playing catch with my Competition, I'll be ordering a brand new one ASAP.

I can't seem to find a list of the tolex colors available. Are there any really wacky ones? I have a bright red cab on the way; I like things to stand out.

Is there such a thing as turquoise tolex?



I considered snakeskin, but I don't want Craig getting a Malmsteen-type ego, since he's already stolen all his licks.

And what is that headbox called? I know the Plexi and the 800, but this one, no idea. Which ever color I go for, it's got to be this box. I want to see my valves glow.

That's pretty cool looking. I suppose that if the material is availabe, Scott can build it. I think you'd call that head style "Grill Front."

Something that unique you might want to e-mail that photo to them.

I personally think that color looks like sh!t .
And it's called the pro mod headbox.

[Jammermatt]

I wonder if anyone's tried denim and leather?

I ended up on a conference call with Scott yesterday. He sounded tired! We are killing him with our rabid tone quest. The short of it is, though, no wacky turquoise. I went for my backup which, schizophrenically, is a very tasteful cocoa with white chassis. I thought Hypersonicuk's cocoa Comp was lovely (in the pics forum). It looks immediately warm and inviting. So it's going to be that tolex on the "Pro Mod" headbox for my Comp. I think this will age somewhat better, seeing it on a daily basis, than bright aqua turquoise.

Plus, doesn't it make sense that the brown sound come from a brown amp?

that headbox is called the cheese grater abomo rod...scott'll know what you're talking about ;D

Still no love for the progressive looks, eh?

Well, we all evolve at different rates LOL.

[Ayton(e)]

Progressive is right!

Basically, it's important to me this will look unlike a Marshall. I don't feel I'm buying a tweaked Marshall. I feel I'm buying a Splawn.

Here's a mock up of the cocoa/white "AbomoRod", which is how my order currently stands.



I hope the choices eventually expand to include some of these musty old leathery Mojotone levants. I'd have loved to take a Competition in any of these coverings.

Brown Alligator

Brown Ostrich

Western

Cocoa Phoenix

Has anyone considered Bengal tiger striped, Cheetah spots? Polar bear fur?

I still think Denim and leather would be the sh!t.

[Ayton(e)]

I'm pretty sure you're making fun of me, but I would be all over a tacky animal print version! I'm very fond of my ocelot fur and pink ostrich skin straps.

I'll show myself out.

[Hacksaw]

maybe zebra striped to the list?

man .. the turquoise tolex is outstanding.. like a old chevy! that amp on stage would just POP!

Nope, not making fun at all. I dig that turqoise. A good friend told me: "The Splawn is a statement amp - make a statement!"

I personally like the Zebra stripe idea. Very Nuge.
