Title: BROKEN CAB
Post by: TIMBO on March 29, 2019, 04:29:00 pm

Hi guys, I was given a job to build a new cab for one that was dropped. :BangHead:

It's a bit hard to see the white line at the top back of the cab, it cracked about 6" from the chassis recess on both sides.
This is a high end built cab, fortunately chassis and Celestion Gold speaker survived the fall.

New cab is the same dimensions, but some fancy tolex

Very happy with the end result. :thumbsup:

they are a lazy creature!  I hang out fishing with them in the everglades, they ALWAYS have the biggest fish!!
The best part is the tourists.....Um, Um, Mr?, Do you know there's a Gator right there??   :think1:

I just look down, in my snarky voice.... Hey Clyde, they want a selfie   :icon_biggrin:

Great job! That is a fine looking cabinet indeed.

That's super nice! Is that the "fawn" tolex? It looks a lot different when it's actually on a cabinet. I didn't like it much looking at a sample square of it but that looks awesome. Nice job!

Yep.
It reminds me of the retro kitchen chairs we had when I was a kid.

Yeah, it does have that look. Sadly, my childhood memories consist of avocado green and giant fluffy orange carpet. :icon_biggrin:
