Got bored ...Mesa combo Mk III...bad reverb tank

[jlbaxe]

Tired of carring a Friedman cab and Mk III head with guitar and a couple pedals to friends house. Soooo I built this today and stained it weather gray.

Cool stuff man! Usually people make the combos into heads. Not the other way around

Looks cool.

What did head shell look like? I have a wood and wicker combo she'll for possible trade.

Thanks. Got lucky.... Used regular 1x12 #2 pine. Usually hard to get joints tight with crappy wood.

nice job! I wish I was more handy with building stuff like this. Unfortunately, man dad was a complete tard with stuff like this and he passed that down to me. It's a miracle I taught myself to play guitar!

Thanks for posting head pic. I was actually looking for something in a bit better shape. Either way you have a sweet looking combo.

I build custom built in and cabs along with anything else in home repair/improvement. Which works out because after 31 years of playing I still suck

Nice tele and pup in you avatar.

So I found my reverb tank is shot. I had the tranformer and tank replaced about 7 years ago. Put in my fender tank to test and it worked. I think I will try a MOD 9AB2A1B reverb tank.

Nice job. I just made a headshell for my Rectoverb 50 combo. I didn't bother to stain, I'm gonna spray it with 3m adhesive and put whatever I can find for tolex

I used one of those in my Mark IV. Sounded better than the original. Cant beat it for the price.
