Doggone-it, that's a nice looking combo rig!

Jerry, it's not real loud. I wouldn't crank it much anyway. I like a clean sound on the bass side. This one has a clear clean acoustic sound. No overdrive at full volume. No gain pot. It will fit in perfect for our band. They just complain if anyone is out of eq. You can't drownd out anyone unless you take a break. Or it's your turn to lead a tune. I like it for it's simplicity too. Light and smaller than my Vox amps.

Thanks Jerry, Uncle , Bluesheart. It needs a grill for travel and storage. The simplest would be a door hinged to open when you play. Outhouse door maybe. But a nice wood strip grill wood look good. Off to the fabric shop to shop.

Very cool!

Beautiful rustic combo.  I don't see the necessity of a grill, but I will trust your artistic judgement.

Grill to come Wes. I'm working on it tomorrow. It won't stay naked. I like the old crate too. Great patina.
