Here is an update on the project. The amp works and it sounds great. Now, I need to experiment to see what I can get at which setting.
Three more jobs that need to be done:
1. Put the text on the face and back.
2. Build the box in which it will live
3. Build a CAB

Awesome work there!!! One day I will try something like this...
So far I have rewired my guitar... initially with one active and one passive pickup... and later with two actives.

I like you footer: "Learn from other peoples mistakes....You can't live long enough to make them all yourself...". As soon as the project is complete, I am planning on posting a "lessons learned".

I see you are a fellow vaalie...
Ja nee... some mistakes you have to make yourself and others you can avoid by listening, but us humans we like to make those mistakes anyways...

Congrats bro. Really happy for you!
It was great to share your excitement in the build.

Looking awesome ?

I thought it is time for a quick update.
I am currently busy with the head and CAB boxes. There is still a lot of work to do, but I actualy forget how much fun it is to work with wood. ?

The first pick is to "show-off" the contrast between the chassis and the pine. I still need to add the decals. All in good time ?



Basic structure


Front of the CAB (As I said still a lot of work still needs to be done)

ALthough this is a fun project, I am looking forward to having it complete.

The second last update (I hope).
The only thing that is still outstanding is the decals. The printers that said thay could help me, evenualy gacve up. How difficult can it be .

The family ?


For the last bit. Does anyone have any idea where I can get decals printed?

Have a blessed day.

What did this project set you back?

In total about 6k. I was fortunate to recieve the two transformers as a gift.

Hi Lee,

I am glad that my project motivated you again. I played around with dove tail joints and decided that I really do not want to go that route. Although I needed the strength of that type of joint. That is why I went the route I did. If you like to discuss further what I have done, PM me and we can have a chat.

Hey Robbie.

Damn fine build! Really neat work.

Unfortunately I'm somewhat backwards with electronic items. ? Would love to mod one of my Marshalls, (JCM900 4100) if I knew what the hell was going on. ?

Brilliant! I start watering at the mouth when I see builds like this. Very cool.

Slayer.

Thanks. Yes, I still need them. With these contacts, I now have a few to check out. The last few weeks has been rather busy, but I have started to think about a second build. So, these contacts will get a special place in my filing cabinet. ?
