Custom made cabinet is in the design stages from Amplified Nation. If we don't get construction images, I'll certainly post the finished product.

This is how it is sitting right now; no cabinet. So far, most all the YouTube clips were recorded through my 1x12 cabinet seen in the HRM thread (https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.php?t=9772).

IC and I are working out the specifics on the design. As this is the last Dumble cab for me to clone (I think) so I really want to nail it. Not to mention this build is epic and the spirit must be carried on

How will you determine the depth of the amp?

You mean the depth of the cabinet? Intention at this point is to use tweed bassman specs for the cabinet with a different cutout at the top. The replica Manzamp chassis is not as long as a tweed bassman chassis. Scaled measurements of the Manzamp picture reveal an overall cabinet size that is within a few inches of the quoted dimensions of real and reproduction tweed bassman cabinets.

Also, the intention is that the front, sides, bottom and backing boards (things not seen in the original Manzamp pictures) will be similar to a tweed bassman reproduction cabinet.

Yes, I was talking about the depth of the cab. I remember when I built my 18 watter, I made the cab deeper as the consensus at the time was the Vox cab sounded better than the 18 watter cab. I certainly don't have issues with bad bass response.

In my previous post I wondered if any such forces were at play with the Bassman cab?

I look forward to seeing and hearing the Manzamp with the 10" and the new cab.

Looking great. Taylor does excellent work. I love the 1x12 open back cab he built for me.

Can't wait for the clips, it's a good looking amp.

Agreed, I would have thought no one could build an amp based on that picture.
