I'm about to order a 1 x 12 18 watt cab and I'm struggling a bit with the color choice. I'm a vintage nut, so I'm leaning towards black/pinstripe like this:

But I also like other ones, like:
Purple/Check
Image
Red/Check
Image
Orange/Salt n Pepa
Image
Maybe Green & Pepa
Image

Whatcha guys think? Comments/ideas?

That green/salt + pepper kicks ass. Ok it looks a lot like a Matchless, but it still kicks ass. Second is the orange (looks like an Orange amp always, even without the tan basketweave grillcloth), then the vintage proper.

Vintage black gets my vote, every time. Bold colors are awesome for a week, then they are glaring at you. No colors anymore - I want them to turn black.

I'm not a vintage nut and I'm diggin' the green. I don't like the other non black colors. If not green, black all the way.

I voted for black, but as a fellow vintage fan, I'm also really partial to Burgundy tolex and either cane or oxblood grillcloth.

I'm surprised that Red/check is in last place. It was kind of my second choice...

Red-pinstripe is pretty swanky too.

I think if I were building the tremolo version instead of TMB, the rules say I'd have to go purple right? :wink:

I voted for red check, but I'd go red S/P or pinstripe any day over the checks.

I'd go Blue with white piping and a check grill. Or Cream with gold piping.
