Hello Folks;
I have some inquiries concerning a project I have been pondering about.
I was looking up some of the Amp head/rack road cases on E-bay and was discouraged by their prices (College kid :/ ) However, I began to use my imagination and would appreciate any input on my idea:
I am wondering about purchasing a 4x12 Straight Faced Guitar cabinet to ultimately transform into a Amp/Rack Road Case.
I would rip out whatever speakers were in the cabinet and completely hollow it out. I would then mount some plywood about a foot up into the cab so that I may A - Place my amp below it, and B - place my rack above it. I currently already have a 6 Space SKB Rack and would rather incorporate it instead of selling it off to fund something more expensive. So on the top of the plywood would sit my rack in which I would pad both the left and right side gaps with eggcrate type mattress comforting or foam ( or something similar ). I would then cut out a large square leaving about 2 inches of wood in the back of the cabinet so as to prevent my amp from possibly sliding out of the cabinet in the reverse position; although highly unlikely. I measured my Peavey JSX to the Randall Jaguar cab I have now and if I were to drop it into another cab of the exact dimensions it would fit perfectly.
So any ideas? Good or Bad? Pros/Cons? Wise or Foolish?
Let me hear it.
Also, any pictures of anybody's DIY style stuff of this nature would be appreciated for ideas.
