Somebody seriously was throwing this in the trash..... (Ampeg)

[Steve Dallman]

One man's trash...

 

[Killed_by_Death]

Cauterizing with caulk does sound like an easy inexpensive idea.

 

[Mktrat]

After I get the loose crap off, I may just have wood left. Maybe I'll just leave it ragged, and enjoy the mojo....

 

[Bodeanly]

Maybe it wasn't in the trash? Maybe whoever lived inside this monster just stepped out for a minute?

 

[Mktrat]

nah it was at the curb with a disco cactus and some other really odd items. Definitely intended for the dump.

They have been putting stuff out front all week long. They are clearing out something and doing some construction too.

Uh oh

 

[beans-on-toast]

I'll probably just paint it after that. Maybe some crazy color........... like black? I could just use the left over paint from my daughters bedroom. But "pretty in pink" might be a bit much.

Who wouldn't want a cab based on this theme. ​

Rat fur!?
Buy 4 tubes of black acrylic caulk, cut them open and empty them into a paint roller pan. Miz a little water and stir it up. Take a nappy roller, and cauderize the wounds, right over the tolex and bare wood... homemade rhino liner, kinda

I'm gonna try this sometime!

Just make sure it's Acrylic or latex caulk, not Silicone caulk, so you can dilute it enough to use the roller. Silicone won't mix with water

Dude, you are so lucky ! I could only wish I come across something like that, no one should treat such a beauty like trash ! Put some love to it and I'll be as good as new !

Cool idea! No issues with water and acrylic causing bubbles? I would have guessed something like xylol or acetone to evaporate quick. Might want to try this on a project too....

Don't drive it too hard.

I haven't tried this but this guy really seems to know what you should do to make it look better !! I would go for it !

Perfect way to theft proof your gear: beat the hell out of it, paint it pink and add weight until everything is well over 100 lbs each.
No one's taking any of that poopie!

 

[Mktrat]

Not to be that guy but......

Don't drive it too hard.

Or what, it will explode?

 

[Mktrat]

I'm liking the pink thing more and more...... my daughter would love it!!

Just curious as to what 'disco cactus' looks like.... it's a good name for a band!

 

[shadven]

I had someone Nick on my door and give my a 197x Ampeg V4B... It was just a door stop in his house. New tubes and it's good to go.

 

[rufus.K]

Wondering the same, disco cactus?
