The cab and the chassis are now 'married'! shame on the weather else pics.
This is definitely the equal of the conway cab - its hard to improve on that one :)

I'm looking forward to giving it a test run but its not going to be today!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

From what you say Mikes work is outstanding, and your cab looks great. Now fire that baby up and let me know how it sounds, you are a way better player than me so your opinion is respected.

My Trinity TC15 is starting to look like an amp, hardware mounted to chassis, heaters & other pre-wire complete, VRM assembled/installed & turret board assembled & installed in chassis. I'm pretty excited with this amp - it has a Vox channel and a Matchless channel. The un-soldered turrets are where external wiring is to be installed. I'm gonna need a Celestion Blue, anyone got one for sale?
