Turned out awesome! Now you just need to "poop" up the grill cloth to match the head.

Nice work Man! Looks freak'n awesome!

Bit off topic.... What model is the Sporty I see parked behind the cab in a couple of the photos?

ampegfuzz · #68 07-26-2012, 02:08 PM

Very cool! I thought it was a Street Bob, but didn't look at the pics hard enough to confirm (both really nice looking bikes, BTW). However, I can spot a sporty a mile away, as I have two Myself (80 "Ironhead" XL1000 "bobber", and a mildly modded 08 Nightster).

Sorry for the derail Guys!

Looks great. I also have a 73 straight back 8x10 and one of the first things i noticed when i started the restoration is the baffle was painted red/orange. Perhaps it was the thing to do back in the day?

Ok, NOW the cab is as sexy as you.

Excellent job!

You know that you're supposed to have two of those cabs don't you? From the 1973 catalog:

ampegfuzz · #74 07-26-2012, 02:41 PM

Almost forgot

Dolly works like a charm!!!

I have plenty

Although i would well a SLM if i ever blew speakers in the '73 and get those legend b810's to replace them. Or if i found another un passable deal like i did with this one.

M.R. Ogle · #76 07-26-2012, 02:47 PM

Classic P bass and a classic Ampeg SVT. This is "the Shiznit!"

ampegfuzz · #77 07-26-2012, 02:49 PM

BIG props to my friend bruce (basey) for re finishing the cab and my guitar player Scot for doing the grill cloth. I still have a couple small odd's and ends to take care of but its giggable for now.

Zermelo · #78 07-26-2012, 04:16 PM

THAT'S a happy ending!!!!!

congratulations!!!

ampegfuzz · #79 07-26-2012, 05:29 PM

Well i have extra grill cloth for the front panel for my buddy's blue line SVT and looks like i have enough cloth for 2 and some more scrap wood

So ill make a spare panel insert with new cloth so it super matches

might even whip it out before the weekends unveiling

ill keep you all posted.

Looks awesome and seems like it was a fun project. Congrats. I've been looking for a flatback for a while now but no luck at a fair price range near my area.

Slightly off/on topic question, what kind of music are you playing through strictly that rig? And how low, clean (headroom) and loud (efficiency) does the cab get compared to one of your newer 8x10's? (Say, given the same power/amp and bass pushing it to make all ends equal.)
