DanEly Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) I've been wanting to do this for ages so I've finally pulled the trigger. There is something about the silver faced Ampeg cabs that I think looks incredibly smart. So I'm basically setting out to "re-grill" the face from black to silver. After reading through a few forums and taking the grill off, I've worked out after removing the white piping there will be slight gap (3mm ish) between the grill and the side of the cab so I am going to make up for this by adding some strips of wood down two sides of the grill frame. Here's the cab (debadged and without the white piping) [url="https://flic.kr/p/rKGuqX"][/url] Edited April 12, 2015 by DanEly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="https://flic.kr/p/s5PqEh"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/rLCo5T"][/url] I do, however think I got the blasted material the wrong way round amongst the excitement but who cares...?

DanEly Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Cheers guys, I think I've put the badge a little too close to the sides but it's all a learning curve isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
