Noice, delivering junk mail must make more money than it did when I was in high school. (Bad memories of folding pamplets... bad memories.)
Give us a few snapshots when it turns up?

at least come up with your own stuff instead of agreeing with everyone else ROGRog wrote:+42sonicfantom wrote: TBH, it's more like the poster can't be bothered thinking of anything to say .
Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

Re: Building a combo amp
Hey guys,
I've decided to change the back from closed to open for a number of reasons.
1. BG said that MDF is good to use for the baffle when its open back.
2. Don't have enough money to buy more wood and i get MDF free.
3. Will be easier to make and will use less tolex.
4. I can always make another piece of wood on the back to make it an optional closed back/ open.
5. Fenders are usually open back and im suspecting thats for a good reason (Adds to the fender tone and what not )
6. Cant afford to cover a full back panel so i have too buy less tolex from ryan.
7. Back space would be handy to store cables and stuff.
Thats about it.
So there will be 2 back pieces. And they will be roughly 1/3rd of the height each. They should measure about 17cm tall by 63.5.
I will probably make a middle piece for it to be an optional closed back.
