As I walked out to my car this morning after a gig last night and leaving my amp in my car, I noticed there was a rip, the black covering, covering the wood, on my Maz 38, probably caused by my drummer's bass head being scrunched in the back seat , as he needed a ride. Im furious at this, a perfectly good amp, the black side next to the tolex, has a rip, or its torn out, about the size of a penny. I need to know how to fix this, if any music shop can fix this, I just need advice on what to do. Its the black lining next to the tolex outlining the tolex thats ripped, I dont know if thats the best way to describe it, I just want to know how to fix it, should i put gorrilla glue on there? It probably wouldnt look great on the end result.....

That sucks. only thing to do now is just glue it and write it off as character. the first ding is always the hardest. luckily(?) UPS took care of that for me and my Rx showed up with a big dent in the side of it and i've had to reglue it in a couple places where it wasn't done so well during construction. If you don't do the character thing get a Tuki cover and rest easy that you have seen your last tolex tear. not cheap but a monster padded cover

Well, if you gig, it's reliced... But you can try glueing it down. Only you will notice. But you may want to get studio slips... I've got them for my Maz head, z-best and ghia 1x12. Whenever I go out they get zipped up in the padded studio slips.

You might be able to get a piece of the tolex from the doc and cut out a circle of the new tolex, tape it in place and cut the edge of the new piece along with a circular section of the old to remove the ding. Glue the new circle in place. Be sure to note any oriented grain and align the new piece before cutting (most tolex I've seen doesn't have a linear pattern). Try to use an extra shape razor knife and keep it perpendicular to the side of the amp while cutting. Watch your fingers! Good luck. If this doesn't make sense drop me a line.

I did exactly what oldwoodak said on a Boogie I used to own. I used to cherish that amp, and was annoyed as hell when I discovered a mouse had been chewing it in my garage! Anyway, I cut a small piece of tolex off the back of the back panel, then did the trick described above. I didn't make it a circle though, but a more irregular shape, as I thought it would not notice so much. I then went over any marks with a black felt tip pen. The repair was pretty much invisible, and I forgot about it after that.
