great sucess on the speaker repair - it seems to sound much the same as the other 3, although I wouldn't mind doing some recording of different speakers with guitar loop to compare.

There is something about a 4x12, even at a low volume it's very rich and full sounding. Grille cloth, new handles are on the way, but I'm still looking for the white vinyl piping for the front.

It'd be interesting to get your feedback on any tonal change from the new pine cab with floating baffle (verses MDF cab)...

That is looking great by the way :) I also used a different dyeing process on the tweed and I think its a winner!
