Title: Intro and cocktail cab build
Post by: Buttonbasher on March 30, 2010, 04:52:06 pm
Hi all,

Been looking on this forum for a while now so thought its time i join and share my new project build im currently undertaking  ;D

Ive built several cabs before but have always wanted to build something modern looking and my partner would only let me have a cocktail cab in the front room!
I will post pictures within the next week but to let you know the concept ive brought / ordered the following.
The main structure is extruded aluminium which is 30mm radius built as a box section, if that makes sense :dizzy:
Ive ordered colored plastic which is dark tinted blue which will be mounted within the ali to make the sides, inside will be a blue LED fan and i sourced a blue illuminated power supply.
The control panel has blue buttons with blue top joysticks with a blue lightning effect CPO.
Im using a LCD as it wont have the depth to accomadate a CRT
As ive said il post pics as images make things a lot clearer, just wanted to share my excitement over this build ;D
