Quick afternoon (delight) cabinet

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

Well not quite done yet (needs another coat of walnut) but I whipped up a quick cab out of $8 of timber from the good old demo warehouse.
Its housing the Ryan amp (6g6 bassman) that I was using for gigging before the tremolux.
Thought it would be good to have this as a head to throw in for gigs as a back up or for louder gigs.
Tomorrow im gonna try and find some dirty demo warehouse hardware that will make a suitable piggy back mounting system to marry up with the block piggy back ready fender cab I have.

Also need to find some sort of odd grill cloth logo/appointment. And I think im goung to spray and re-letter the face plate that I did hurredly some time ago.

I did reply to say I'd varnished it...unless it didn't send
My suggestion , make yourself some rough blond tolex chaps or an evening jacket.
Better still you could make JB a blond gimp mask for special occasions!
