i'm planning to get a custom 4x12 and the idea of a cab that looks like a Hiwatt-gone-metal appeals to me (i have a feeling it would look sick with my VHT Deliverance), and i'd like to photoshop a pic of a Hiwatt cab to show the builder the cosmetics i have in mind. i want a slant cab, though, and all the Hiwatt cab pics i can find are of straight cabs.

what i have in mind is something sort of like this Mojo cab:

see how there are no corner protectors, and it's got the black piping in the tolex across the top, like where a Hiwatt has white piping? i want black tolex, black piping, black piping around the grille as well, and a charcoal grey grille.
 
I bet you could get that done by several builder if you simply email them a picture of the amp with the cosmetics you like. Someone is checking out Veretone cabs, which did some piping at stupid low prices. I bet Stone Age does that sort of thing as well.

Grain of salt there, I have no personal experience with either.

that "someone" who's checking out Veretone is me :lol: :LOL:

i want to make it 100% clear to them what i'm looking for, so i'm trying to find a pic that i can photoshop to get the colors right.
 
I think they made some in the 80s, the ones with black grillcloth. I have a bedrock that looks like a slant hiwatt.

do you have a pic of your cab that you can post?
 
I think that Hiwatt currently offers a slant cab, and has done so since at least the Sterling Imports era, (mid 80's)and perhaps even as far back as the Biacrown/ late Hylite era. I knew a guy that had a Sterling era halfstack, and his cab was a slant cab.

thanks for the pic...don't think i'll be able to photoshop it the way i wanted to, but fuck it....i'm pretty sure they understand what i want already anyway.
