Debadging

Before:



and after:



Much better I reckon, and took no longer than an hour (a lot of that was getting rid of the sodding Trace sticker )

Agree, I recently did the same with my Eden Nemesis cab.

Had a grey/silver tweeter in it, which I thought looked wrong, so painted it black, and got rid of the Eden sticker - which took ages.

Think it looks much better now.

Is that a Gordon Smith guitar in the background?

Looks great.

I had a Warwick 6x10 for a while and did the same. Bish bash bosh, bit of hammerite on the grill and it looked 100000 times better.

Bye bye big f'ugly W.

It does look like one! A Gypsy maybe, or a GS-2 with an added scratchplate.
I owned a fantastic '86 GS-1 (same colour as the one in the picture) and a 2001 Graduate 60 (flame top Les Paul type)... I still regret selling that GS-1. Great guitars!

First thought when I got the cab "right, W is going" but never really got round to it. Glad I did it though, looks miles better. Only cost me a fiver for the spray paint

Indeed it is a Gordon Smith, it's my dad's GS2. He's got a Gypsy II semi solid too Edited April 27, 2011 by goblin

Silly question maybe - but couldn't you have just turned the grille around? I doubt it had a W both sides

Not with my 6x10 Warwick as the grill was curved around top and bottom in order to fit into the recess of the cab.

Agree, cracking guitars, Gordon Smiths. I got a 2nd hand GS1 earlier this year (same colour as one in pic), best guitar I`ve ever had - and I`ve had Fenders, Gibsons, Washburns, Yamahas, but this little guy beats them all.

Ooops - bass-forum, best stop now!

I tried that with my cab, but I got people coming up and asking for burgers and fries ....

[Musky]

A mate of mine did the opposite with one of his cabs - he painted the Armani logo on it.

He thought it was obvious he was being ironic, but he did overhear someone at a gig saying "that flash b**tard's got an Armani cab".

(Oh, and +1 on the Gordon Smith. Funny how many of us were looking at that more than the cabs. )

[goblin]

I'm surprised no one's noticed the Fylde Mandola next to it, much fancier instrument if you ask me

[ahpook]

now spray the front of your trace black !

stealth bass rig !

+1 on regretting selling a GS-1, I had one like that too, but sadly needed to eat.

[goblin]

I thought about stealthing, but I like the luminous green - one of the only things that gives away what it is

As for those gasing over the Gordon Smith, my dad would sell it for the right money. If anyone's interested drop me a PM
