Show your customized cabs

[blowinblue]

I really really want to put lasers and neons and strobe lights on my cabs and paint everything with UV paint =) that would be sooooo cool, rave! Woo!

Then you have come to the right thread, my friend. Let's just all agree on one thing...never put style over substance.

I sure would like to try Thor's cab out. Wish I had the tools (and skills) to build stuff like this. His choice of amp ain't half bad, either.

Thanks man, it is a terrific cab. Bill Fitzmaurice was kind
enough to throw some good advice my way and I was smart
enough to shut up and listen to him when it came to design
choices. Petebass from Australia was also very helpful to me.

The amp is an Eden WT-400, and it really rocks with this cab.
I think I finished the coversion for less than $200 iirc.
(Bass pictured is a 1981 Ibanez Roadster PJ with DiMarzio pups
and passive/active circuits. Kick@$$ bass.)

I'll throw you a few 'in progress' pics. All custom cab threads need pics.

bump, i like this idea, all the Dr. Bass, LDS, NAU, etc... show us your custom jobs...

Thanks for the bump! It's cool to see all the creative things people do with their amps. I'm surprised more people don't do this. We try to have sweet looking basses, and then we just have a big black box in the background as our amp. It's practically a billboard waiting to advertise!

for myself i built a couple of these

something a little more custom that i built for a guitar player (his last name starts with v), loaded with 4 ev 12's. (i personally apologized to his bass player)

head cab for a different guitar player

btw i used to have a side buisiness that built cabinets, but i am no longer connected financially to it since i have gone back to school. however the logos are still either masked or removed. if i violated a user policy let me know, mods.

Not mine, but a local bass player retolexed his 810svt in white. I love it, but he beat me to the punch on white tolex cabs locally, so I'll be eternally jealous.

edit: Yeah, he has the speakers. They're just not in there in this pic. I guess he was in too much of a hurry to share the pictures.

I had this 212 cabinet(the one on top of the 410R Schroeder Cab) custom built just recently by EarCandyCabs. This cab is named the BassBomb by EarCandy. Its a front ported cab (4 ports), with one 12" Eminence Kappa Pro-12A(400 Watts RMS), and one 12" Eminence Delta Pro-12A(500 Watts RMS)...speaker cabinet handling cababilty = 950 Watts RMS. This cabinet does not have a tweeter and is built and tuned so it doesn't need one. It has a natural full deep pure undistorted bass tone with just a little bite to it-which can be enhanced by turning up the gain. Its a very efficient cab and I really love the tone(see review posted elsewhere on TB in past 1-2 months). The cab can be ordered virtually anyway you want it, but mine is made with black tolex every where except for the front speaker face which is covered in the "Diablo Red" tolex, and I ordered the black stainless steel circular speaker grills for a different look as well. It's DA Bomb ...Peace...DAcat

 

[P. Lacey]

wow, those cabs are rocking man

 

[dbase]

how about a Tweed Tube Head on an Oiled Birch Cab?

My God, look at the size of those transformers... how much does that head weight?

I may be selling off my 2x12" and 2x10" Avatars for... newer Avatars (I have cats, and Line-X would be a godsend) in either the same dimensions, 2x12"/4x10", or all three to mix 'n match, and recently found an online company that does custom grills for a very reasonable amount including powder-coating, so I'm seriously thinking of...

Line-X Black with Red Chrome Grills.

 

[namraj]

and again with the same pic, don't have a pic of my custom 1x15 unfortunately but here is my warwick and her 4x10 friend

 

[Bassmec]

Coral 104 Tweeters with JBL 2425 Diaphragms on small mantaray horns Altec 806 on 811b and JBL 2202 lf.

I wonder if an upright bass in flock finish would absorb too much top.
Oh well purple stain then.

Hi MM
"Then you have come to the right thread, my friend. Let's just all agree on one thing...never put style over substance. "

M. M.
I cant agree more ...but nothing wrong with combining style and substance. There are some way cool artforms in cabs being created out there that probably sound just as great as they look...these cabs should not be put down because of the creative artistic nature of thier owners...Peace...Dacat
