Ron Burgundy

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

Long time coming this post...

Here is the finished produce of the amp that crack built and BGs fine cab work

6g6-b Bassman clone
Sandy from emblems did the faceplate and its cool
Bender gave me rubber feet (now i squeak when I line dance)
I had to belt sand down the bass of the cupcake knobs as my pot shafts were too short.
Pretty happy with how it all came together
great sounding closed back cab with 2x12 emi Alessandro GA-SC64
Pictured sandwhiched between a 64 jag and a 62 tremolux

Thats a reet bobby dazzler..... Looking bloody hot! That panel is a thing of beauty, I heartily endorse emblems work!




No-one ask about those bits routed for the speakers there, the cad god was against me that day!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

If you had painted the inside of the baffle black, no one would have notice. That or the tin snip :wink:
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Looks great. Nice speakers those. Have one in my Princeton reverb. Not that I ever have the chance to play it.

Faceplate looks cool. However, you misspelled tremolo. :shifty:

Great stuff man. Reminds me of my Nanas lounge suite growing up, but I like that.

So I used to play this head thru the 1x12 close back tremolux cab with a single Jensen jet tornado which always sounded great. But I have to say these alesandros are superb. I think it's true what the interwebs says about them interns about them being a great match for fender voiced amps.
Really nice and open, balanced with a solid but not boomy bottom end. They aren't at all shrill which is great as a a lot of my set up tends to be high end heavy (jag, 6g15, blackface amps, sharks with frickn laser beams on their heads).
Also it's great to get back into a 2x12. I've forgotten how pleasant the chime and general beefyness is.
