Ordering a Splawn Quick Rod soon ... but stuck on cosmetics!

Go with option 5. And swap the chicken head knobs for silver jubilee knobs. Will look killer.

5 , or maybe 1 for me, but ultimately it's your amp you'll be the one living with it =)

Out of those posted, #5 for sure.

However, like others have posted, I would actually go with a regular plexi/JMP style headshell in black tolex. Gold or black control panel. Marshall knobs. It will keep you happy for decades, regardless of if your musical direction/style changes. Plus, it will look killer with your checkerboard cabs. I think you would tire of the racing stripe look over time. Just my $0.02, as requested.

Option 5 for me. But 6 is not without its charm. To me the others are just a bit too busy. But I would rock the fuck out of the leopard print one

 

[Lord Toneking]

Option 5 for sure

The other ones don't match at all

 

[glassjaw7]

Out of the ones you posted, I like 5 and 6. I like the classic plexi look for Marshall-esque amps. I would get tired of the others in a hurry.

Reminded me of this

See it in action here, I would say the amp suits the player:

It's definitely down to 5 or 6. If I go with 6, I would probably go the classic gold and black Marshall knobs. The gold piping obviously won't be so bright either. I love the look of 5 too. Tough call.

 

[rlord1974]

You'll want to match the piping on your head with the piping on your cab.....

5.

Finally ... someone else who likes something off the beaten path. I know many think "resale" but jeez, if you plan on selling stuff before you buy it, why bother buying it???

 

[singtall]

if i'm buying something custom for myself, and i ain't thinking about ever selling it....then i'm going with #1. be loud, be proud!

See, now we're talking!!!

When I ordered a new shell for my Quickrod, I went with this one. It looks awesome! Clean and Mean! But with your cabs, Id go with option 5.

 

[rupe]

#5 by a long shot for me...the first four are awful and six is a bit too cliche.

 

[chobley]

I went with #5 for a cool vintage thing

 

[D-Rock]

I like #6. Haven't seen one like that before. #5 is a little plain and predictable.

 

[JerEvil]

I went with #5

This head is actually what made me want to go with the cabs I did. I almost pulled the trigger on this head a few times on eBay. Glad someone finally bought it.

I like #6. Haven't seen one like that before. #5 is a little plain and predictable.

I like 6 very much as well. It's what I will probably go with. Going to make an all black and white version to see how it looks as well but I think 6 or# are looking pretty tied.

You've got me thinking I need to order a new headshell for my amp now!
