Sho-Bud Sho-Bass?

[Rick Auricchio]

If it's tough to get a hunk of foam up top, it's OK to leave it bare. But do what you can.

Can I just ignore the top altogether?

Thanks for the tips, guys!

This is a good question. My B-15's have fiberglass insulation on the back walls only, and adding more didn't improve the sound in the least. And considering your cab is the same size approx., you could probably get away with not doing the entire cab. See what you think when you try it.

Reminds me of my old Alamo fury. The cabinet design looks similar. Sweet find.

I had a nightmare about this amplifier last night. As we are going garage sailing today. I don't need things like this invading my dreams, those are reserved for cooler stuff.

Seriously we have to think about this thing a few ways.

First of all, it is a brand name popular with the steel boys.
Second it was a steal, even if you don't play steel.
It might sound good.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A TOTAL WACKO BUILT IT IN HIS GARAGE.... My goodness combo amplifiers have come a long way. BOB

I'm honored that my amp has invaded the dreams of fellow TB'ers. I'm going to do a little You Tube video of it so you can all hear it...

My father has one of these. He bought it new back in the early 70s and used it as his only amp for 20 years until he retired from playing. It's a nice solid state amp, but quite heavy for a 75 watt unit. It has one 15" JBL speaker, likely the same as those used in the other Sho-Bud amps at the time, and it was made (or at least distributed) by the Baldwin Company. The power cord is brown and only a two-pronger. To avoid shocks on concrete floors you have to turn the plug over on the wall socket.
