Amp refurb …..again

Post by Sheriffdohboy »

More cosmetic changes for my amp head
Originally was red stain finish with basket weave from the factory….stripped the red …,went to black…and latest is natural colour with urethane..,,final bit today was to remove the basket weave on the face plate now it’s just plain timber…probably just pine….still need a coat of urethane on the front but will get that done when the weather comes right….ideally I’d get the whole thing done in tolex ….,but for the time being will just leave it…,love a trainwreck style aesthetic so maybe just a darker stain in the future….

I might have some black duratex left over if that's your thing. I can't promise I have enough but I'll look when I'm at the shed next if youd like it.

Sorry bro, just looked. I thought what I had was still good but it's a hard crust at the bottom of the can and is no good. Sorry dude :( I bought it from Livesound in Grey Lynn though if that's any use.
