Howdy ya’ll,
Mild Bill here again with more cabinet work. 2012’s been somethin’ else. Here’s a few projects that have been keeping me all too busy:
The first 4 Tugboat Classics are coming along nicely. These open-back 4/8 watt combos will feature all class A circuitry and premium 10″ speakers; perfect for studio work, small gigs, rehearsal, and the bedroom boogie. Here we see the beauties in their birthday suits, ready to get all wrapped up


This red dude actually got shipped last year, but I don’t think I’ve posted anything about it yet. This is actually a detuned 1×12 with over-sized dimensions and extra beefy construction. The customer already had the dimensions he wanted, I just made it happen.

Finally, my most recent project: The first Steamboat Installation!
The lovely pair of Robins over at Double Trouble Caffeine and Cocktails commissioned me to build what are now the first set of Steamboat Hi-fi speakers. These cabs were built mostly out of recycled wood, and feature all U.S.A. made components, specifically Eminence 10″ woofers, titanium tweeters, and crossover network. So duh! Go in there, grab a drink, tip well, sit in the center of the white couch, and tell them to turn it up!
