I'm thinking about getting a second 2x12 myself so I can use one cab if I'm short of space in the car or both if I'm not.

Has anyone tried the flat-pack cab from here...

Thanks for the link. I had no idea they existed. Anyone know where they are in the UK ? Those flatpack kits look very interesting, espec the 1x12 - nicely oversized. Great price too !

+1. Gonna order one today, I think!

Let us all know what it's like when you get it. I quite fancy putting together a purple tolex covered 2x12

This 2x10 5F4 Super I did is in one of those cabs, originally supposed to be a 1x12. They're excellent, and a bargain for the price:

mmm gives me an idea for my amp head *S*

Thanks.
Blind dovetail joints, so a bit of PVA and they're together.
Covering's another matter though!

sgmypod · « **Reply #43 on:** March 21, 2008, 02:59:41 PM »

Can't take pics the cloth is vox cloth...got enough to cover about 5 cabs I think....the cloth is a much darker brown and the wood is much darker.

Not sure to wax it or varnish
