George Jetson's rig...

Very cool! Where did you get the grill cloth?

Yeah those are similar but the one I am thinking of is a vintage amp and has a square shaped cab.
I believe someone here had one.

But I think the odd shape adds a lot to the vibe and I love that design!

Yep me too - real nice ABC (anti-beer-can) feature too.

Do you have a Michael's or a Beverly's out there? It's a craft store - zillions of fabrics, scrapbooks, glues, and beads. It's pretty much all gals in there - I used to get an odd look when I popped in to cruise thru the textiles & bolts of fabric. There's usually even some vinyls, heavy upholstery, etc. on closeout.

I decked out this Ebay Tele body with doodads from the craft store:

Careful man, that is downright tasteful!

Hey! Those are my pajamas!

Great amp BTW

Dangee, that's a pretty sweet build. Scavenged parts stuffed into some oddball retro box - right up my alley! Looks awesome!

I really like that amp! Sweet tele too! Great work.

That's why there is only a picture of the front of the guitar. There is a big flap in the back!

Love the amp and the glittery Tele (and the cowboy inspired Tele as well). On the Jetson amp that LED badge might be a neat place to put one of those Magic Eye tubes thats controlled by the level of the amp, they're always fun to see moving while your playing. I haven't tried one but have seen a few done and always wanted to try one sometime. Anyway, way cool love the trapezoidal look!

Regards,

RD

Funny you mention it. The same Goodwill store the TV legs came from had a stripped Grundig hifi. Fortunately I got an EM-80 eye tube from the thing and added it to this mini-Marshall I made out of an old tube P.A.

I had to Google all over to find a diagram for wiring up the tube. The signal to it [and green effect] is controlled by one of the unused vol. pots on the Bell-35 chassis. Yahoo! more useless, fun folderol.

Thanks Baxtercat!

I just added a plexiglas porthole to further show off the blue lites.



...and it's [barely] featured in a 'video' my daughter Amanda made this week [to an old original intrumental I'd recorded about 23 years ago on a TEAC].

I only had a deteriorated cassette of the tune and thought I'd better try and save it.

She shot the footage around the neighborhood [and in the house] and put it all up on YouTube.

I liked that a lot Bob.
Tell your daughter she did a great job with that.

I've been to Santa Cruz and Seacliff many times with my wifes family who still live in San Jose.

[Drumslinger]

Sweet little rig there Bob!! Nicely done sir.

This thing is so cool!

Anyone have an idea where I can get feet like this??
