Roland Rock Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Haha Nothing wrong with a waney edge in the right context - I have 'Fred Flintstone' shelves in my lounge. IMO this has been done by someone who has a moderate woodwork ability (machined dovetails and other rudimentary jointing) and a poor sense of design God knows what it sounds like. As an experienced cabinet maker, even I'd rather leave the acoustic cabinet stuff to the experts. Can you even have an open-backed cab for bass?

KingBollock Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Sort of reminds me of a design I have had in my head for a couple of years. The plan is to take an existing cab and clad it with rough looking boards and add vertical bars in place of a grill, to make the whole thing look like an old animal crate.

Nibody Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Personally I'd cover it in brass fittings and cogs and flog it to a Steampunk band . I remember first rig I had was a Carlsboro 150w stack (when I knew nothing about anything). Came with one matching 1x15 and an odd shaped 1x15 cab of undetermined origin. Bought some chipboard and basically reverse engineered the Carlsboro cab, and built a copy using the speaker and fittings from the odd shaped cab. Actually sounded better than the Carlsboro original.

karlfer Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Looks different, not the usual black box, obviously. My spine cries just looking at it. Those rotaries and switches wouldn't last very long where they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
