I just wanted to show off my new speaker cabs. They were custom built by Rick Summers at http://www.rawoods.com/. They are closed back and loaded with Peavey BW 12" speakers and have four ports. The cabs are covered in wine Tolex and wheat grill cloth. They're built close to the same specs as the Marrs speaker cabs. Best of all, they sound awesome! Rick is very knowledgeable and won't steer you wrong! He is a forum member and can be reached at 309-674-8634.

Hi Cameron, Those are beautiful. What type of wood did he use and how thick is it?

Thanks Cameron! Smile It was a pleasure to build these for you. Glad you're happy with the result.

They are constructed of the same #2 pine as my Fender clone cabs and measure 3/4" thick. The baffles and rear panels are of 1/2" birch ply. They're quite light and versatile. Write me for quotes, etc., rick@rawoods.com or give me a call.
All My Best,
Rick

Good to hear from you, Rick. I was hoping you would see this and chime in. I am not qualified to answer technical questions!

Cameron,

Those are very nice cabinets, and I am sure you put some great notes through them. We still get compliments regularly from your work on our "Back In Our Hometown" CD.

By the way, what kind of amp did you decide to use with these speakers?

Hey Darrell,
I decided to go with the G.D Walker Stereo Steel amp. I use that with a T.C. Electronic "G Major" effects unit. That setup works really well in live situations. I have my Mesa Boogie/Mosvalve stuff that I could use in the studio, but I am anxious to see how the Stereo Steel sounds in that setting.

It is great to hear that people like what we did on your album. I was listening to it the other day. One always tends to listen to themselves and say, "I could have done better." After all, I am my harshest critic. I have learned a lot about tone since then...especially in the studio. Overall I am happy with the way the project turned out. Everyone played great on it, and I am glad you gave me the opportunity to do it. Most of all, I am glad that you're happy with it! Any chance of another album? Great to hear from you!
