I just got in the first prototypes of my latest recreation, a 1969 Spec Marshall Slant Cab with the heavy duty bracing, larger soundpost, logo triangles, and the caster socket bracing. This will be the mate to the 69 spec straight cab I already offer, soon to be added to the site.

Preliminary pics are here, and I'll be covering two this weekend along with other cab orders, so pics should be available on Monday or Tuesday of completed cabs, weather, dogs, cats, clients permitting!







I will be offering these with the standard black levant tolex, S&P (basketweave) cloth, as well as the Eric Collins True Bluesbreaker Pinstripe cloth, along with metal handles, pop out casters, and all the same appointments of the 69 spec straight cab.

Finished cab pics:





Price: $799 unloaded, black levant, S&P cloth, white piping around the cloth, metal handles, pop out casters...$1399 loaded with either M or H series Scumbacks.

VEY NICE JIM are you going to be doing ant Tall bottom cabs??

Thanks. No plans for a tall TV cab at this point, due to the fact that I don't have accurate measurements from an original I can get to my cab guy to measure/clone.

The slant & straights I had, so that was easy.

Finished cab pics:

With all your effort towards originality I am surprised you didn't put the jack at the bottom of the back. I never could understand why Marshall did that it really makes no sense.

That's why I put it there on top of the panel, cuz it never made sense to me, either! Of course I've put enough wire in there so someone could rotate the back panel and do that if they wanted to.

While I've had these cabs built just like the originals, I did make improvement that didn't compromise the tone, such as the removable casters, and the placement of the jack plate.

Excellent looking cab Jim, can't wait for my bottom cab to arrive!!!

Animal. You're speakers aren't here yet! LOL While we're on the subject...you want your jack plate near the bottom or the top (the easier to reach position as above)?

Those are pretty sweet looking Jim!

Man if I only had room for another 412......

Very nice

I must say my best sounding cab is a '69 straight with G12H 75Hz Pulsonics, no idea why, just is

Yeah, something about 'em, huh? My H75 is based on a 69 G12H30 75hz 102 003 Pulsonic cone...coincidence? I think not! LOL
