That looks nice. Original size cabinet, isn't it? Did you hire someone to carry it for you? :wink:

Thanks!

Cabinet is a Weber 6M45 combo from eBay. I bought it with another project in mind, but that didn't work out. So I transplanted the JTM-45 from a Marshall-style head cab to the combo cab. It's heavy, but I figure I'll get more use from the amp as a grab-and-go combo, than a head and speaker cab set.

Dimensions are 24" wide x 20.5" high x 11" deep.

There was a terrible cabinet rattle when I first play tested it (loud, and on the low end). I learned the front valance (between the top and speaker baffle) wasn't glued/dado-ed/attached. So I had to brace it from inside. Works fine now. Could use a set of casters though. :wink:
