This is great, what a great covering.
1] Where did you get the tolex? In the UK?

2] How did you get the black lines running around the cab? Neat work... I know orange cabs have those lines, so you preserved them?

3] How long did it take you to recover the cab and amp head?

4] The Mongotone cab is lovely wood... what wood is it? Who are they? How much for a cab enclosure?... and what does it sound like with that wood?

... and that arse is spectacular! .. it is...H-Y-P-N-O-T-I-C.......-------===.....==......!

Yep. Solsound... he sells on Ebay and it's genuine Marshall cream/ off white levant. My inspiration was the pic of the white 60's half stack on the front of the Marshall book.

2] How did you get the black lines running around the cab? Neat work... I know orange cabs have those lines, so you preserved them?

It is an old Orange cab and I managed to save the original gold stringing. 3] How long did it take you to recover the cab and amp head?

The cab was a pain because I had to go around in one piece about 4 mts... and I really struggled and wrestled on my own. I think it took about 3 hours for the cab and an hour and a half for the head box. The time consuming part was stripping the cab and prep work.... about 12 hours I think! This is what it was like when I got it

4] The Mongotone cab is lovely wood... what wood is it? Who are they? How much for a cab enclosure?... and what does it sound like with that wood?

Awesome cabs built in Scotland by an American guy called Marc. It was ribbon figured Mahogany and sounded huge for a 4 x 10. Very sweet sounding but full. I sold it along with many other items when the banks screwed us over. That one was the actual cab reviewed in Guitarist several years ago and cost around £700 at the time.... and that arse is spectacular! .. it is...H-Y-P-N-O-T-I-C.......-------===.....==......!

'Tis indeed..........

Huge sounding Mahogany...

They say the pine makes a big difference to the Cornford cabs tone... the Mahogany had an effect then?
What speakers were in it?

 

[Luvverly Joobly]

I like this pic

It was a warmer sound and loaded with 60 watt V10's. I think real wood cabs have more presence and clarity.
