Hiding your mini-amp

[shoot-r]

Jimmy, This is why you need a G.K. head....
they're "Purdy" on any type of cab!!!!
I'm just messin' with ya....

 

[Freddels]

How about looking for some blue diamond contact paper to cover the front of the amp? Should take much skill to make a template of the knob cut-outs.

or maybe something like this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

C'mon...how much does a 6 pack of budweiser and a black spray can cost these days? Fix er' right up. =)

Found it. Not that it matters to you. But in case anyone reading was interested:

It belongs to "Johnny Atomic".

Hey, Johnny might like my cabs!

Yellow and Blue are opposites on the color spectrum which is why they clash so much.

another solution would be to switch to a bright pink or lime green bass, this will distract the eye from the head and cab.

Paper bag. Cheap and effective, and sometimes useful backstage.

These guys might be able to help you out.

Actually, he posted his amp in response to your cabs in this thread:

Yeah, then you could set the black-painted six-pack in front of your Markbass head and it would look much more badass!

 

[SwitchGear]

How about changing the tolex on your cab to a matching yellow/black?

Groovy.

 

[bassninja7]

not to be a debbie-downer, but why worry about looks??

its all about tone.

Why not just go to the hardware store and replace all the knobs with black ones for starters?

Then, if the rest of the yellow is still to offensive, you can always mask off the control names and then spray paint over the yellow.

OR...you could just take a piece of thick posterboard or foamcore board (which you can get in black), cut it to the same size as the front of the amp, and then just lean it (or velcro it) to the front of your amp when you aren't adjusting the controls. No one will see the front and you won't have to go through all the trouble.

1) Go to liquor store (like it already)
2)Spend a few bucks on wine or liquor
3)Ask for a nice, empty wooden wine crate
4) Drill a few holes in one side for the cables to slip through (even I can do that, LOL)
5) Place the LM2 in the crate on top of your cab, or place the crate over your head (not the one with the eyes and ears).

Fuggit. Find a piece of scrap black cardboard, cut it to the size of the LMII's front panel, take a piece of scotch tape and voila! You're done. No tools, no great expenditure of effort and easily replaceable if it gets lost.

 

[Steveaux]

Just set a pair of these in front of it ...

Here is all you need to develop the skills for creating the perfect cover for it:

 

[JimmyM]

I was thinking of getting a Bedazzler, too. Rhinestones might be a nice touch.

 

[rustynuts]

Oooh....Macrame. That brings back memories.

 

[Rick Auricchio]

How about a piece of sheet metal bent to an "L" shape?

The bulk of it sits under the amp. The vertical part sticks up in front of the knobs, with clearance for you to fit your hand behind to work the knobs. Paint or cover it to match the cabinet. Make sure there are no sharp edges.

Clean, simple, no moving parts, no changes to the cab or amp.

See attached pic.

^ That sounds like a good idea to me.
