discreet Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) [quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1340808428' post='1709911'] thats a real sweet cab, hows it going now? faultless?[/quote] Soundwise yes, faultless, but the finish is starting to look a bit tired and is patched up with gaffa tape in one or two places... the vinyl I bought was a bit thin and not all that great, so I'm going to remove it and finish it with rubberised truck bed paint instead. I'll post some pics when it's done. [quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1340815610' post='1710044'] Very Nice Mr Discreet. You almost make me feel like trying it myself! Is that Marshall pattern Tolex you used?[/quote] No, just some cheap stuff from Blue Aran. Not best quality to be honest, though it photographed well. [quote name='S9_S12_Bass' timestamp='1340912135' post='1711521'] Looks good mate! The tools at knob level comment made me laugh [/quote] It's all true! I don't like using circular saws at all, scares the crap out of me! I'd get a table saw if I was going to go into production. I gigged the cab with my LM250 in a Stax/soul function band and it was perfect for that purpose. It really projects big time and everyone in the band (9-piece) could hear it wherever they were on stage. But now I'm in a rock outfit and am in the process of amassing a mahoosive rig. I won't let the J12 go though - it's a great cab, and has sentimental value. Edited June 28, 2012 by discreet Quote
ebenezer Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 defo the dogs nads.....great build....clever design and you can't go wrong with kappalite 3012ho......should imagine cab has great throw to the sound. should be proud and rightly so Quote
6v6 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Great job - build looks pretty complex, makes my attempt at a simple ported box look very basic! Like the tolex and finishing, looks very good! Quote
