So, back in the summer I was looking around for head shells for my amps.
I was originally trying to get hold of Chris Uff since I'm in the UK but I had lost his contact. I put a shout out on the forum, I now have his e-mail thanks to neikeel but it took a few weeks and inbetween I started looking for alternatives.
So I came across John Wheelers site, Stone age Custom Cabinets and was very impressed.
I wasn't initially thinking about picking up some speaker cabs until the amps were built but the more I read about them the more i was into it.
I had always intended to go with two 2x12"s so I could run two heads in parallel and thought if I was going to go through the importing process I might as well do it all at the same time and these cabs looked to be exactly what I was after.
So I sent an e-mail to John and he said the best thing was probably to talk it over on the phone.
So we set a time and made the call.
So here's a tip, kinda funny now. When I made the call I should have contacted my phone network and baught a bundle to make the call, it would have cost me £15.
But no... the phone company let me make the call and then afterwards cut me off. Lucky I had a work phone so I called them up and I had to pay a £100. Bill to get 're connected. To be honest I didn't really care but the young eastern European girl who dealt with my call, once I explained myself she was crippled trying not to laugh at my situation... she couldn't help her self. It blew her mind i could run up a bill like this and say Ok screw it let's just get this paid and move on. Lucky I have a good sense of humour and I could see the funny side and I did laugh.
I've got to say John was an absolute gentleman to deal with. We talked through all the options and he gave some good advice, so we got the order squared away and talked some about music and shared musical tastes and by the end of the conversation I was sold.
