Snakeskin cab?
« on: August 09, 2009, 12:07:04 AM »
Getting an amp built. It's going to have a brushed gold Marshall style panel and the first thing I thought of (blaming Johnnys recent cab) was snakeskin.

I was thinking something like this http://worldguitars.co.uk/images/washburn-n4snakeskin-lg2.jpg my taste is in question though  :P and it may end up being 'it seemed like a good idea at the time'  :lol:

Thoughts?

I think that sort of snakeskin would work cause it is wood-like-coloured.

I went for red cause it was subtle and not like.. pink snakeskin or something.

And I'm glad you are inspired by me! :D

Those frog skin coin pouches are all kinds of wrong.
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And I'm coming home

You are complaining about coin pouches when people out there must be going about with leather neck ties for this store to profit!

Having said that I wouldn't mind one for the novelty.

I'd wear it to alienate any vegans that come my way.
I too use chicken as a measurement.

They have the zip on the coin pouch at the back end, it would be so much better if the zip was on the mouth.

Someone was having a subtle dig over at TGP saying I should show some class and use a baby seal/arctic tiger, my rebuttall was that at least I could shampoo the head if a pint got spilled.

snakeskin is the height of good taste

I told you it would repel vegans (much like garlic and a crucifix would deter a vampire... Coincidence?)!

Not that you should carry a crucifix.
To the contrary; a man's gotta eat!
