    IT'S TWEW, IT'S TWEW, IT'S TWEW......!

    After flogging this cab project for over two and a half years, the sonofabitch is finally finished......







    The original 2 x 12 enclosure I built for use with this amp conversion proved to be impractical at times so I decided to downsize the concept and go with a single fifteen as an alternative. It still pushes plenty of air and the open-back design creates a tone more akin to a combo amp -- less directional, a bit more sonically nuanced.

    My bench is finally cleared!

    Rog, that's absolutely beautiful. That's some work to be really proud of.

    Dammit, Rog, I want to hate you and all your spiffy amps and groovy guitars, and yet how can I hate the keeper of the Holy Tabernacle of Amplified Bliss and Stuff?

    LMFAO!

    Thanks to all for your kind words.

    I think I may nickname this thing "Fenwick" (as in the fictional country of The Duchy Of Grand Fenwick from the Peter Sellers film "The Mouse That Roared"). I brought it to a garage jam this afternoon and she performed like true royalty.

    That would be an excellent moniker. Now I'm going to watch The Mouse that Roared--haven't seen it in decades.

    Sellers was such a genius, as with this scene from "Dr. Strangelove"......

    Regret that so many do not know Peter Sellers and his large body of good work. His stuff with The Goons is genius.

    Nice job Roger! Talking about movies, I am assuming the "It's Twew, It's Twew, It's Twew" reference is from Blazing Saddles?

    Of course. Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder made such a hilarious duo, it's hard not to laugh at their on-screen antics. Toss in Mel Brooks, Harvey Keitel, and Madeline Kahn and that's a sure-fire recipe for true LOL humor. A pity that the film's decidedly non-PC gags have now relegated it to near XXX porn status.

    I agree with jeru. Rog is a bad, bad dude. Rog, I hope your parole officer doesn't catch wind of this. I think that a Princeton with a JBL 15" is illegal in several states.

    But seriously, you should go into manufacture. I send you my Princeton Reverb, you send me one of these. It looks soooo perfectly beautiful and I bet is has Voice of God sound. As soon as I saw it, I heard surf music in my head (ok, I wasn't wearing my tinfoil beanie).

    Thanks, guys!

    I've never been someone to sit and grouse about why something doesn't exist when there's clearly a need/desire for it. I don't know that this particular variation of a common theme would have much commercial appeal but niche markets often drive the imagination to things novel and unique.
