Do you guys do any mods to your rig for aethetic reasons? I remove as many labels from my amp and cabs as I can. I'd love to make a new face plate for my amp.......anyone have a sheet metal shop? What aesthetic mods do you guys do? |

They think they are big enough that they dont want to advertise a company unless they are getting paid for it. I can understand this, although it doesnt matter to me. The more people that see me playing musicmans and ampegs, the more business id like to send them. My guitar player took an old tube 2x12 guitar amp, covered it with red velour and found and old mustang grill logo on ebay and put it on the front of his amp. He got alot of compliments on it. |
