SWR Megoliath 8X10

I had an SWR Golight 410. I went back to playing drums and sold the cab. Dumbest move ever. I am always looking for another. That cabinet would sing. I was pushing it with an Eden world tour 600… at that point one the only bass I had was a fender Cowpoke.

Sorry for the late reply. I don’t get notifications for some reason. The refinish was great. It took me a while once I started to actually finish. Getting the rat fur off sucked big time. I tried a heat gun, then a razor blade. No luck. Talked to a carpenter at he recommended a multi tool. For like $25 at harbor freight, I was lined out. The multi tool took the rat fur off with ease. Then the leftover glue was another issue. Went back to HF and bought a cheap belt sander. Applying the ExoHyde was easy. It goes on smoothly and you can barely see any lines. If you just walk up and look, you’d think it came that way. After the multiple coats dried, I installed new bushings on the grill and new cab corners and rear slider. Also upgraded the tilt back wheels to 300 pounder capacity wheels. Wasn’t much more but I did have to route the hole a little to make them fit. Also replaced the rubber feet on the bottom. It’s rock solid now. It’s been finished for a few months and I haven’t even gigged it.
Hi there,

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm thinking about buying an amp with some very rough rat fur that I would need to remove. You say above that a "multi tool" removed the rat fur with ease. Can you be more specific? What kind of tool is it? Do you have a link to the product?

Thanks!
Aaron
