kbp810 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 With my neighbors out and about for the day, and the wife away at work... I took the opportunity to break out my favorite amp on it's favorite setting, 10! (okay, it was actually more like 9, but it doesn't sound as cool as saying it was dimed) I just love the breakup of a pushed tweed, I only wish I could have better captured the tone as it sounded in person. This was the H170, into my spring reverb unit, into my 5E3 Tweed Deluxe (in case your wondering why my reverb unit is currently naked... I decided to hit the cab with a little tung oil this morning) A few poorly played and poorly recorded clips for your entertainment http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3272872/Tweed%202.mp3 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3272872/Rock%20Nation.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredZepp Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 NICE Tone...! That was fun to listen to... very nice sounds from that flamed maple cabinet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Thanks! The flamed maple makes all the difference My neighbor doesn't actually mind if it gets loud every now and then... just thought it was a good opportunity to play a little louder then usual ...now if everyone on the block took off for a day, I could turn the ODS up to 10 and really have some fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steiner Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Is that Dovetailed Cherry Wood!??? How did the Tung oil work? Nice chops KBP810! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Is that Dovetailed Cherry Wood!??? How did the Tung oil work? Nice chops KBP810! Sure looks like it. I swear I saw another one of those floating around somewhere.... I think there is one on top of this awesome rig from PSP IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Is that Dovetailed Cherry Wood!??? How did the Tung oil work? Nice chops KBP810! Only the Doviest! I know a couple of guys nearby that have a helluva rig setup for making those... Tung Oil worked like a charm - I think I still prefer Tru-Oil, but as far as fool-proof finishes go its right on par. The Tru-Oil you can wipe it on and come back within a half hour to buff it down and hit it with another coat; you can have a nice deep high gloss finish well within a single day's work - the Tung oil you have to give it several hours... but since the grain on this was already well sealed by the original danish oil finish, I only did one coat with the Tung Oil.

Trouble Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Oh, and I finally got some clothes put back on the reverb unit That's a pretty cab, I like the maple too but I always liked oil finishes of the darker variety, looks like something you'd find in a log cabin way up in the mountains somwhere if that make sense.

I actually prefer Tung oil but it may just be because of all the work that you have to put in to get it right, and on light colored woods like maple or pine I always prefered gun stock oil, for that nice yellowed look. Either way, oil finishes give great results if your willing to put in the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredZepp Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks! The flamed maple makes all the difference I thought maybe that was it.... Maybe a 150/157 should be played through a mahogany cab with a maple cap on it ...to get the proper tone. The secret is in the wood..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
