Now I find this hard to believe. I know for a fact the Rat Fink wasn't around before the Civil War!

hipofutura · 05-24-2011, 01:56 PM

Well done, Jim. I hope we did better than Airbus. When the pieces come together, fingers crossed, they fit.

If the dimensions were correct it will fit like a glove..I allowed a bit of room to adjust ...I am sure he won't have a problem....waiting to see pics when done...we had a Canuk holiday Monday that is why it is getting shipped today....I think you would like to see your amp in a cab.....I like your new old build you posted ...some great work you have made...keep it coming....JIM

It will be a thrill to see it an a cab. It's great that it's in a head cab. This way the amp itself will be visible from the back. The trannys do look very cool. In a combo they'd never be seen again.

Morphing old junk amps into usable guitar amps is a blast. I think it's the most fun of all builds. You really get to let you imagination run wild.

The back is semi open ..just a 2.5" bar in the back you will be able to see inside

singlecut · 05-24-2011, 03:40 PM

thank you jim and thank you don.
i've played this every day since it's arrival. it's now my living room setup. and it's really a great amp. lots of gain, back off the volume and it cleans up pretty well. and the best part no pedals needed.
i will post pics asap upon it's insertion into it's new home.
don is onto something guys. get in now , or be sorry.

JakeM · 05-24-2011, 03:58 PM

This is amazing, again the truly nice generous guys from MLP jump in and help each other out just for the sheer fun and enjoyment of it...I love it>

hipofutura · 05-24-2011, 07:12 PM

WOW, this is very cool. A "Sticky". Thanks, BB!

Jake, this IS a wonderful place. There's a lot to be learned here. How to fix a busted-ass amp, answers to all things spiritual and metaphysical, pet grooming, decency and anything else you can think of. I love it.

Thank you guys for making this a worthwhile place to spend some time.

Hey Don, since this is a sticky maybe you should edit the original post to include the standard "filter caps, heads up you could die" disclaimer.

rocknhorse1 · 05-25-2011, 06:30 AM

Awesome!! This a great thread to have as a sticky! Singlecut, I will be calling ya tonight..I think I get mine today. Don has got to be one of the most genuine guys I have ever met, and this forum is lucky to have him around.....as well as others.

I'll say! The squawk box is my favorite place to hang out because of guys like Don and all the other regulars (you know who you guys are)!

Outstanding! Can't be long now. Hope it doesn't get bashed during shipping, as the amp did.

When I shipped the amp to RH, I asked UPS about a claim for the damage done to SC's amp. I was told I couldn't file a claim since UPS didn't pack the amp. I wasn't going to anyway, but I was stunned at that answer.

Because it is a lighter package it may get tossed around...here's hoping it gets to S/C in tact..you can't trust these shippers
