If you want to see a pallette of colors, check out the Avatar and Aguilar websites.

I really dig that electric blue tolex that Avatar has, but talked myself out of it. Sure; the cab's gotta make me happy. But when/if sale time comes around and you can't give the thing away you'll facepalm yourself for not just sticking with black. |

The 210 went for $235 shipped, and the 410 for $325 shipped. Gave me GAS   |

I do love the blue diamond tolex on an Ampeg, though. Tweed cabinets actually seem to look better to me after a lot of use, though. |

I saw a Mesa PH210 and PH115 f/s on eBay a while back that were custom done (NOT by Mesa) in Cowhide. :lol: Was pretty awesome. Like, the real fur and everything- not just a print! |

I've always wanted orange cabinets and when I was playing TE heads I almost sprung for a set of green cabs. As it is mine are currently black with custom grill cloth instead.

...Sometimes people tell me that the bridge isn't mounted straight too.
