As most everyone here knows, I almost always run direct. But tonight, we played at a place that provided the PA (it's one that run sound on occasionally and have recently tuned)....and I wasn't sure what to expect on the monitor front since I'm always at FOH. So, I broke out the XF210 and put it in play. Sounded good - as it should.ctmullins wrote:They look great, Bruce, as does the head case! I made myself a similar case, 3-rack-space, for my preamp/poweramp setup, but I used crap paint, so I need to go and hit it with some Duratex after tomorrow's gig.
I appreciate seeing a XF build, as I've been wanting to do one myself, to pair with a couple of low-wattage micro tube amps I picked up recently (Kustom Defender 5 and Orange Micro Terror). I'm a bass player through and through, but I like to see how the other half lives from time to time. And who knows, I might get one of my guitarists interested!
I'm tellin' ya'......once you use duratex, you'll never use tolex. I wrapped a rack case in rat fur once...I still use it and it's getting kinda' shabby, but one day it will get ripped off, sanded and replaced with duratex.Bbr6704 wrote:Nice and sweet!
I'll have to put the tolex and grill cloth, and all the little things to finish it...
I've had my fight with ripping both off- never again I said.Bruce Weldy wrote:I'm tellin' ya'......once you use duratex, you'll never use tolex.

I guess you're right for the ease of apply of duratex and the strong finish, but I definitely prefer the looks of tolex. Plus my ammp head is tolexed, so I want a matching cab to suit her perfectly (remember "Guitar players themselves have never had a problem with looking funny, but they do draw the line when it comes to how their gear looks").Bruce Weldy wrote:I'm tellin' ya'......once you use duratex, you'll never use tolex.

Can't argue with that.Bbr6704 wrote:I definitely prefer the looks of tolex.

And I can't help myself of thinkin' to an old Hughes and kettner I had when younger, that was finished with duratex... I don't like that much the finish... Some thoughs are hard to overcome...
