so i got the cab built by a carpenter around these parts.
went for the solid wood aproach for a more airy tone (and DUDE is this cab solid! i could throw it out the window and it'd stay in one piece.) it's also heavy as ****!
i still dont have the speakers or jacks or anything that makes it produce sound, but that's coming. i'm getting the grills on saturday probably and i'll check with the store tomorrow if they ordered the V30's already and when they'll be around.
gonna wire it up with some heavy duty wires.. saaaaay .. 6mm square? hehe
i'm still toying with the idea of wrapping it up in tolex, but i kinda like the look. fits my room furniture hehe. the grills are going to be black. was hoping to get some diferent color ones, but they're hard to find =/

actualy iy's just one teddy bear. the toy next to it is a mouse, the blue thing on top is one of those do not disturb door knob sign thingies. what you dont see is a plush dog, another teddy bear, a polar bear, one of those lazy big eared dogs and a small moose

That cab's awesome man, I don't know if it's what you're after but I know Vox sell AC-30 grille cloth as a replacement part for restorations.

i think they will look amazing with the black grilles!!! Don't think yu should go vinyl... although if yu did, it'd still look kewl, and probably more metal :twisted:
-
ix-nay on the vinil-ay
i'll leave it like that.. gotta put on some handles too.. and i'll prolly cover it in stickers lol
-
:D Personnaly i would cover the Cab. it helps prevent dinks & scratch marks. Looks like a solid piece of work there Davey :D

That is pretty sweet tbh, Dave, I'm impressed.
Andy!

Davey,
Don't know if you've got your speakers yet, but http://www.award-session.com/ are doing Vintage 30's for £44.00 plus postage! :D
Bargain!
-
i havent got my speakers yet. i am checking with the local shop to see how much they can get em for me. the last time i checked their celestion prices was $70-75 a piece .. i'm not from that big island up yonder such as you are so 88 plus postage might run me higher than what i can get here, but thanks for the link, i'll check em out if the shop wants too much
-
found the speakers online here.. 90$ a piece.. have to check the store tomorow and see what they say
-
store #1 (i asked them to just check the price, nothing else)
hey.. came in and wondering if you got the price i asked for te v30's
nah.. tried to call them, but i cant get anyone. they arent taking me seriously
yea... i knew this was going to happen even before i asked em to check the price, but did it to see if he can redeem himself
store #2 (i know the manager and just went there for a general laugh)
hey. give me two v30's NOW!
yo dude, chill. peace.. what?
hehe, i'd like two celestion vintage 30 speakers. 16ohm. can you get a price check on em and see if someone around has em stock
yea, sure (dude from the back yells. v30's are 150 a piece!).. bull, let me call up some peeps
(gets off the phone 10 minutes later after he prank called about 3 people, gives me the price ($90), but says that unfortunately noone is working anymore today since i know these corporate people etc etc etc and they arent forwarding the calls)
online store.. called em, they got two v30's there, 16 ohm, 90$, shipping is around 10 and i'll have them on tuesday, cash on delivery
all around not a bad day... next, i'm small parts shopping... anybpdy got any pointers as to what i need and thoughts on internal wireing? :D[/i]
