eburgblue Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Here's a quick little project I made for a friend for Christmas. He is a drummer in a band. It's about 3" x 3". Made from a piece of pipe, some 3/16" rod, small piece of sheet for the skin and baling wire for the tightener cords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmonds Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Euurgh not a Marshall... one of the '50s Fender tweed amps surely yeah!....to be more precise, how about a 1949 two tone Fender Champ and a Clapton Stratocaster! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt87 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Champ, Deluxe, Bassman... I'm not fussy, they's all got their place, like a Centurion, Titan and a Gladiator! They seem to sound good no matter what guitar you put through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
