It does look nice, even for green. The bare wood at the bottom edge looks good with green, I think a green/cream two tone look would be nice on a cab.

I think you're right. I keep meaning to rebuild my Bombardier (1974x x2 26 watter) I might go green/cream

its been in bits for many years
done a search and pics no longer exist. but 36watt kit in a 2x12 greenback combo, with a 2x12 classic 30 extension cab underneath.
It was pretty mental.

Bums...I like mental...36 watter as in stereo 18 watters or 4 x EL84 mono? In a head? Was it otherwise the 1974 circuit (2 channel with single tone pots and tremolo)?

Can you fit a 2 x 10" baffle in the cab? Wouldn't make it too much heavier (one of the cool things about a 1974) and the extra squares would add to the bottom end extension yet still have an edge and fast attack for snarling cut through...just sayin'

Also known as a Marshall 1958!
I already have a 2x10 combo which is shortly about to become a Deluxe Reverb.
