Off Topic New practice amp day

[Aussie Mark]

My new lounge room practice rig - 1967 Ampeg SB-12 fliptop: 25 watts of niceness.

Needs some cosmetic TLC to bring it back to original (the black tolex is only stapled over the original blue diamond cloth, thankfully), but the innards are all fine.

Nice!

The tolex took 3 hours to get off. Next up, a good clean.

Looks like museum example ...but sounds good for sure!

Ooooh that's quite beautiful. Now whack a Bongo into it, crank it up and tell us how it goes...

That might remove the rest of the tolex.

How does it .... smell?

Just like a tube amp should.

Nice catch! I really like the look of these old beasts!

Just what you need on a cold winter night to make you warm and fuzzy

Roasted mildew, I guess...

Very cool Mark. When you first posted I had to google what the original covering looked like as I had never seen it before - and here it is. Great find. Was it local?

Yes, the seller was Paul Christie (Mondo Rock/Party Buys)
