New BassChat 8"Cab design

[Richard R]

As I have ranted previously on this forum, the main reason I dislike B&Q is the appalling music they play. Dire cover versions of good songs. I walked out a few years ago because they were playing an easy-listening smooth jazz version of London's Calling.

 

That red port looks the business though. If the cab is black TuffCab and you design and print a red "BC8" logo to go in the opposite corner it would look very cool. Red paint on the screw heads of the speaker too.

To be fair, I'd have been effing raging, too.

And of course it's now pouring with rain today which is highly annoying.

 

So I've made little jig to fit the Katsu router for making the speaker hole and the port hole. The two sections need to be bonded together and a a slide fits in the middle to act as a pivot and to lock the router in place. 

 

 

Just need the rain to stop now....

I'd have walked out as well, smooth jazz version of London Calling? Wow...

 

Not sure on the colour, Blue Aran is wholly out of stock of Tuff Paint, but have now ordered the speakers and Speakon connectors from them.

 

I suspect that black makes sense but red highlights would be good. However I still might look for red speaker paint or just paint it red and do a black port instead.

Paint it with emulsion and topcoat it with matte or satin varnish.  It’s what I did with my micro cab.  2 years in and it looks pretty good still 👍

Definitely an option, I did like your blue cabinet at the bash,
