Hi all just a thank you to all who helped in some way or another

It is my first cab and the first one was very hard chasing around from post to post and site to site,but i got there in the end.

Are the sides finished?

Can't really tell from the pic.

Do they have the same wood grain look of the control panel? (N/M Common sense has since told me they are the same color as the area under the control panel)


Nice lil cab. Very interesting choice in speakers and their placement though. :)

Looks kind of cool in an odd sort of way.

Hi versapak
the sides are finished apart from artwork if i decide to put any on,just want the right one.
The sides and all the rest of the wood are beech laminated
inside and out it was made for a 12 and 6 year old
26 inches wide and 5 feet 4 high to top of speakers .
It just looks like plain wood on pic but stands out realy well in real life.

The c/panel is a metal one off an electocoin cab with fablon covering so it can be changed if i find a better one
cheers Peter :P :-\

Very nice cab shape but perhaps just a little on the small side. Did you design the shape yourself or use plans from somewhere? Also can you tell me where you got the Streetfighter artwork from.

Thanks
