I finished my super reverb!

[Hella1hella]

As most of you know, I have been working on a '65 super reverb I picked up during the summer. It is finally finished! I just want to thank everyone from this forum in helping me make a ton of decisions. Cabinet is by JD Newell and speakers by Eminence. Again, thank you everyone who helped. Here is the amp with the rest of the family.

For those who are not up to date. I purchased the amp for $65. Someone had put it in a head form, and put really ugly brown grill cloth on it. I got it tuned up by the tech, and replaced the ugly brown with ugly cow skin . And with a ton of help from this forum, this is the final amp.

Looks great, congrats! How does it sound with the 4X10 Emis?

Yay!!

Thanks! Havent had a chance to really turn it up yet but I got it around 4-5 and the speakers sounded VERY nice. I was really pleased so far, they didnt have the bright brittle tone I was afraid of, they seem like they will be perfect for what I wanted. They are two Eminence Legend 1058, and two Eminence Copperheads.

What!?!?! Nice find and it looks great. I wish I could find sweet old Fenders for under $100

Good job. I'm sure the Eminence speakers will be fine. May take a little while to break in.

I just nabbed a brand new Fender Super Reverb amp for the equivalent of just £565 in UK!

The dealer thought it had suffered 'transit damage' amounting to a split in the inside of cabinet... It actually turned out to be a line of light brown jiffy-bag paper that had been industrially stapled to inside of cab (probably to contain and secure the AC cord in transit) that had been torn away carelessly leaving a thin line...! They obviously couldn't be bothered to unpack the whole thing and viewed it in the warehouse by just peeking into the opened box... I just pulled the staples out and voila! Perfect!!

That was a nice 60% discount!

That's what I'd call darn good luck. Congrats.
