PDTD! (Pimped Dark Terror Day)
« on: September 17, 2012, 05:46:41 PM »
Hey chaps,

I thought some of you might enjoy this. I recently bought an Orange Dark Terror for jamming with at home and other shenanigans, but was never too much of a fan of the toaster look or the orange detailing on the front panel, so I enlisted my friends James at Dapper Signs and Paul at Zilla Cabs to paint over the offending parts and make a white headshell with black racing stripes to match my Zilla 4x12 (https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=27646.0). The skull design is entirely James' work, I just told him to fill in the square where the Orange coat of arms thing goes with something a bit more in keeping with the name "Dark Terror"

I think the end result is rather swish! Here it is after James did his thing:



Then ensconced in the headshell:




Tim's currently borrowing the 4x12 to try out the Lynchback speakers, but once I have it back I'll get some pics and clips of the two together.

Cheers!

I looks cool, but almost too much. The little amp seems to drown in it's package  :D I think I'm more in to the toaster look if I have to choose.

I don't think there was anything wrong with the original livery.... but very cool nevertheless.  :D

Looks pretty damn sweet, but the original look is good too.  :)
