Parts bin 2x12 cab build

Post by Reg18 »

With some spare time on my hands and reduced wages currently I decided to build a 2x12 cab out of parts I had on hand.
Came out ok but not perfect, hate working with leatherette!
Tele switch plate will have a mono and stereo input with the switch going between the 2. Found a broken Marshall badge in my parts drawer and my initials happen to be MA so that worked out well!
It has only cost me some new glue so far! The rest was in my parts bin/garage!
Only problem now is all I have is 1 X Fender branded speaker out of Some 90s SS amp. Not the greatest so I may have to spend some money after all!

Looks cool, don't be using a guitar selector switch to switch high power speaker signals though !
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that was a thing and would have done just that!
