i no this is probably to much to ask cause there dont seem to be any around, but does any1 know where i can get wem speaker cloth form??
or anything like it, i know selmer used to use similar, that'll do me if any1 has some o that?
when i say anything like it, it has to be pretty close.
has any1 started to make repro wem cloth?
for any1 like me, an i'm sure there r many, trying to make their own wem starfinder cab, the cloth is a must.
i'm suprised nobody has tried to make even a vague repro of it.
an before u say, i have already phoned up m.g. an asked them an they say no! bah!

Sorry to hear MG doesn't sell. That was probably the only option besides DIYing.

to be honest i didnt really want to deal with the devil, just phoned on an off chance, but i'm glad they sed no, cause found out the stuff they put on their very expensive wem starfinder copy (with cheap china fane copy speakers) is just black cloth with the pattern printed on! an it isnt even quite right!
as always if u wanna do it right u gotta do it urself!!

You just gotta believe there's a bolt of that stuff rolled up somewhere in the world, forgotten and lonely :( .

Barring a hand-sewn recreation (read: expensive), I wouldn't have any ideas for you.

might be worth finding a small swatch (say on a dominator combo) & taking to a custom auto upholstery shop. may also be expensive as a 1 off. may also be a worthy business venture if someone is willing to offer quality repro fabric to gilmour fans far & wide :wink:
