It might just be that they don't have the orange vinyl.

Their site has said for ages that the green basketweave vinyl is currently unavailable - so you can't buy a Green Matamp.   :(

It might be because it would look too much like an Orange cab?

I thought that, but Orange don't do cabs that look like that, and I've seen (owned, even!) Orange-coloured Matamp equipment before! Trimmed in black, aswell.

it seems strange for them to just say no and not say why.

i even linked them to a picture of a cab in their gallery as an example and said, like this but orange.

i sent an email back just saying "you cant build a slanted orange coloured cab?"

They dont have sticky orange plastic, and probably the people working there have some standard lines to repond to emails. Alot of companies have........ :shock:

Funnily enough, I contacted Matamp a few years ago to ask if they would service my Orange (it's from around the Matamp era, slightly after) - someone on the Orange Amp forum suggested this, and that he got his old Oranges services there.

They said no to me too.

I think that you have to knock 3 times and ask for Dave...

Seems a bit weird, I guess they have reasons, but it would be nice if they'd said why.
