Cab plans for 1959 Fender 5f6 Bassman 4x10:

I just built this. I will post pics, it was a real cool build

My girlfriend has asked that we have for four of these just as cabs for the living room!

If you decrease the size of the holes you could convert to a nice wine rack.

.....the height doesn't add up. The 20 1/4" plus the two 3/4" add up to 24" high.
It shows 22 1/2" total height?

20 1/4 plus 3/4 plus 3/4= 21.75. Not 22 1/2. Sorry.

Put a trash bag in it and its a beer cooler

Bluesy, you need to factor in the 1/2 and 1/4 gaps to the rear rail.
I hope all the measurements add up because the everything is cut already.

Right now I am building a router table / finger joint sliding thingy. New territory for me.

If you stack the Pils bottles well I reckon you could get about five crates of beer in one of these and still use it. That's 480 bottles in all four, nearly enough for a party. Will invite the neighbors and let you know how it goes.

Cool, looking forward to seeing this.

.....maybe I should put my glasses on!

I used those plans to build a straight speaker cab. For some reason, I ended up making the dimensions about an inch bigger or so... maybe to use more wood? I don't know. I also didn't like the 10" speakers so I converted it to a 2x12. And I guess I didn't use old growth pine, but rather fir and purple-heart. Ya, so in the end it didn't end up being very close to the plans:

I think I'm in love with your girlfriend.

Hey guys, I just finished this cabinet today. I used the plans on this thread, but we altered them to fit the Manzamp!!! Really cool project this build is tricky.

That looks awesome. Did you use baltic birch plywood or pine?

Thanks man.

All baltic. I also changed the back panel to 0.5" thickness, it gave a much nicer edge to slightly roundover. I built the overall depth +0.25" to keep the clearance the same.
