I didn't know exactly where to post this
but it is to do with amplifiers
I have been looking into the idea of split cabs so I can make my Steel King easier to move and have some additional flexibility in the speakers that I connect to it etc
And I found this fellow in Western Australia (where I live) who makes some beautiful cabinets
I doubt it would be any more feasible for you states-siders to buy an Australian cab and have it shipped than it is for me to get one from the states, but I thought you might be interested to look - some of them are really beautifully done, I think.

Glad you found a builder closer to you.
I knew the shipping from the USA
was gonna be too high.
Those are beautiful cabinets.

I asked him whether he wiould be up for building a 'relic' headshell, with torn tolex and grubby old grill cloth ....
.... he has been strangely silent since then ...

I've made some new combo cabinets
like Twin Rev and Super Rev..etc
and head cabs for Dual Showman, Showman, Bassman...etc and was ask to relic them.
They looked pretty cool to me.

Rick - I'm glad I'm not totally on my own with this ...
I feel a bit guilty asking a craftsman to muck up his work. He has responded, by the way, and said he'd give it a go - but I haven't got a good feel for how enthusiastic he really is. If he is not really keen, then I'll drop it (it was just a silly idea).
do you have any pictures of your relic'd jobs? |
