Kimbabig Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hey guys, I just made this cab, what do you think, It is pine wood, glued, screwed/nailed, and biscuit jointed together. The speaker grille is purple velvet. I stained it and gave it a few coats of poly. It sounds great.

MrNylon Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Cool. It looks a lot better than my one and only attempted speaker cab. I like you using 12's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I've got 20' of 12", 50 year old pine lounging in the garage. I haven't been able to make up my mind about how to use it, so there it sits. Nice tight grain, no knots. I mourn for the owl that used to hang out near it - but go figure. I'm looking for an old Tremolux head - maybe one day that pine will turn into a sweet 2 x 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Oh yeah it was. It was massive. The only good thing about it was the 12" Jensen Concert Vibato sparkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 No knots in the pine? I have to see this beautiful wood. I'll haul the camera out to the garage in a while. In the 60's my old man retired to his woodshop, making curio cabinets and gun cases. He just went down to the lumberyard (I called it the "board store") and bought what ever they had laying around. When he passed, I tossed truckloads of crap, but I kept the good stuff. These planks are incredible, and I have truly been conflicted about how to use them, because there is nothing else like them available anywhere, at any price. Maybe I should auction them off, and use the money to buy some Alex Rodriguez bubblegum. Or a reissue Les Paul. Something good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I forget the dimensions, just too heavy to move around. I should have ported it for a bass cab. I was using a Traynor Bassmate head. The EB0 did sounded good through it. The Jensen 12's were good because I couldn't afford JBL's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 No knots in the pine? ... Hey nice job on the homemade cab. B) Yes, you can get "clear" pine (no knots). Pretty expensive. And 12" boards - wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 There is no name written on it. Oh no - I insist on having my custom-crap signed by the artist. Makes it that much more valuable. I'll sell you a vintage Sharpie for $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
