Dear God...I fear this will not end well.....I feel dirty even reading this....Here comes the heat from BOTH sides now....

Why, pray tell would you want to defile either (a) Ampeg or (b) Berg???

Now that I like. I'd be in the same boat as the OP if I had one. I've been interested in the NV610 since most people say it's the closest cab to the old CTS-loaded ampeg 8x10s and would be a good option for (slightly) downsizing, but I hate the look of exposed cones. That cover looks down right sexy Dave.

I just made a frame and stapled the cloth around it. I went over board, though. I put in some thin meshlike chicken wire stuff for protection against feet and doorknobs, but it wasn't crucial. I sandwiched that between two pieces for the frame. Pretty easy. Take your time and measure and dry fit alot.

Why insult Jim like that, after all he's done for you by bringing that design to fruition...

Why assume I insulted him?

I did buy it, not rent it. It's mine. By bringing that design "to me" he got his asking price in U.S. currency.

Have you ever modded a piece of gear or do you play everything stock? Ever put more salt on your food?

Thanks Dave! Did you use velcro to hold it on the cab?

No, I made the frame pretty exact then when the cloth gets put on it's really tight.
