Phil Jones Briefcase in Tweed

richnota · Mar 11, 2007

I remember my parents having cool tweed luggage when I was a little one. So why not do a PJ Briefcase in old-school, goin' on a trip, tweed.

I had done an SWR as a weekend project and it turned good. I love the sound of the PJB with my Rob Allens, so heat-gun in hand I went to work,

and the result?

Perfect for gigs at the Tiki bar.

Awesome! You just made a VERY cool amp even cooler. Kudos!

I gotta say Phil styled it just right to look good in tweed.

Now I'd like to see purple glitter tuck-and-roll.

DocBop · Mar 11, 2007

Have to say that looks awesome! Hope Mr Jone's see it and decides to make it an option.

I keep looking through fabric stores looking for the elusive tweed fabric. Haven't found any yet. Where did you buy yours and is it expensive??.

BartmanPDX · Mar 12, 2007

partsexpress. 36" x 66" (about two square meters). $30

get the waterbased glue (its neoprene based and works like a charm)

Lots of other online sources including Amazon. just google "tweed tolex"
