Poor Buster wasn’t tiered, he was board and rolling his eyes at me because i was messing with gear and not playing with him....
Poor, poor Buster.

At least you weren't cramming for that spelling test.

Poor Buster needs to cruise the 'hood in his new luxury aluminum groove chariot.

...he was board ...

Looks a bit more like a log.

Nope!!
Ha!!!

 

[basscooker]

Anywho

I actually thought all the b15 cabs had a brace across the front.

 

[jimmydean]

I would have not let that one go either , I want it !

From the looks of your avatar, I'd guess you might be right. As I say, I'm not the guy. There was a time in the early '70s when I really wanted a B15 for small gigs, but new ones were too expensive for my budget and used ones were scarce as hen's teeth in these parts.

wow, dubious --- it looks bulletproof!

it looks 'solid'....just needs a caster and an appropriate driver, no?

Flight cases are not nearly as rigid as a well made speaker enclosure - often they're only 1/4" thick - also, note there is absolutely no bracing across any of the faces of the enclosure. It may be tough enough for shipping (the metal corners help there), but I'll bet it's sub par in terms of resonances, rattles, etc.

On the plus side, the internal volume should be really easy to calculate - the lack of braces means you don't have to do a lot of pesky subtraction.

my avatar makes me look like i can't subtract , but i think some 'discreet' bracing could improve the piece if and when @Dubious Aa cared to bass-i-fy it....it might work as a guitar cabinet as it sits.

Not sure about your cab but that Marantz caught my eye in the first photo..... confirmed in the second one.

Its not a road case, its a speaker cab Made of 3/4” ply that someone riveted and screwed aluminum sheets, edges and corners to.
Regardless, im expecting it to rattle, heck it might even hiss a bit with the massive air leaks.
We’ll see (rather, we’ll hear)

I love that stereo

 

[bassfran]

But is it the best cab for metal?

 

[Ostie]

If it sounds like crap you can use it for a road case.

 

[JW56789]

Wow.

Well, when you get it up and running, ya GOT to play 'Smuggler's Blues' through it, I think that one's been there.

 

[pglaser01]

You don’t know how you are a sucker for possibly “suspect” or “not to be relied upon” DIY projects.

yet your handle name is Dubious……

 

[Killing Floor]

If it sounds bad, ill use it as a guitar cab!!

Or a suitcase

 

[5StringBlues]

If the schnitz fits, wear it!

 

[coy garcia]

Industrial style.... I like it!
