Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Got the 66 wrapped in some green tolex this weekend. Got most of the hardware on, but was too beat down, by the time I got this far, to get the skid rails put on.

Nice work man, looks really good. I'm going to start some cab builds soon, now that I have spare $$ for materials. I'm going to use Duratex though, because I don't want to f*ck around with tolex lol. I redid one 4x12 with a friend about 10 years ago and that was enough for me!
 
It looks like crap. I will send you my address, and I will dispose of it for you. ;)

Dude that thing is so good looking.

Haha, lmao! Thanks Man!

That's looking awesome Jmac, makes me wish my cabs had the tolex/pinstripe

Thanks Ron!

Thanks Corey! Yeah, tolex can be a bugger. This one is by far the biggest tolex job I've done to date, and the most detailed. At this point, I've kinda gotten in the groove, of working with tolex, so anything else seems like it'd be out of My wheelhouse. All said, I've yet to do anything with duratex, so I'm not sure how I'd fare with it. I can say without a doubt, that I'd never go the Line-X route again, though.

Looks sweet JMac!

Thanks Laz!

That just screams "Loud".

I do really like the updates for the handles, smart stuff there.

Thanks Kawai! It's all about the loud My friend. Been using both of My other cabs of recent, and I cant foresee Myself going back to a smaller cab for most of My uses, so it's go big or go home time, lol. Not to mention, this is gonna be My last cab build for a while, so I figured, throw everything I've learned at something big and badass.

Methinks you've achieved that end. Well, once it's done and all.
 
You guys are persistent and insistent! I didn't forget, although you guys already made the decision to title her so, I said over 5 years ago in High School friends said not I. And because I can't just let her be the focus of this I had to be in the photo too.

So here's the 51 year old bday girl, fellow road kill picture taker, friend and most importantly my Mom.
