"Levant" ? Choosing Ampmaker shell colour

What's Hot

in Amps tFB Trader

I got me a P1800 kit from Barry, just got the order in before he took them offline. I decided to get a shell from Chris Uff because I've got too much to do already, but can't decide the colour. White? Ivory? Hmm..
Both look good in Google pic searches.

But what is "levant" when it's at home? I see the colours as 'ivory levant' and 'white levant', not that it matters what a levant is but curious..

    Levant refers to the surface texture of the Tolex.

    Old Marshall covering is levant, whereas later is "elephant".

    I like the levant better.

    Ivory doesn't the dirt as much as white, and in my view looks better.

    Ah! Thanks for that, I shall search more. The dirt thing makes sense too. Cheers.

    Chris's cabs are excellent, had a couple from him now.

    Which size are you getting? I went with his 'medium' size for my P1800.

    Although not the colours you are looking for, my cab below is black and purple levant.

    Very nice mate, that looks great. Ivory for me I reckon, my cab's brown (with lairy tooled patterns) so should go together ok.

    Medium size sounds good, i thought I'd have to go small so good shout, will put in the order today.

    When ordering mention it's for the P1800, Chris kindly drilled the chassis mounting holes which saved me time and hassle.
