So I was tired of looking at the ripped up old grill cloth on the 2x12 that lives in my bedroom and decided to replace it. The cab is an old homebrewed jobber that came with an amp I don't have anymore. The old grill cloth was permanently attached so I cut it out and that's when I saw him.

Gene Simmons. The Demon. Generally gross dude. Villain of the best movie about a cop hunting down fugitive robots in a cyber punk future (RUNAWAY)

I thought about just leaving it exposed but these old speakers have had a hard life and deserve a little coverage. Here's my finished product

Anybody else ever find weird stuff in old gear?

The best Gene Simmons movie is "Wanted Dead or Alive" with Rutger Hauer.

Classic 80s cheese!

That's amazing! And the finished product is cool too. Nice to see a cab done up a bit weirdly like that

If we’re talking Gene Simmons movies, we gotta talk Never Too Young to Die. Where else are you gonna see Uncle Jesse do gymnastics?

Cool find!
The only thing I've found in old cabs is that they where wired totally different than what it said on the cab.
If you're buying old cabs, always open them up and make sure that expected impedance matches the actual impedance.
Happened to me with 2 412s. Lucky I didn't damage my amp.

at least it isn't like what happened to me. in my cab somebody had siliconed on the speakers cause the mounting cage was busted

That's cool. Does the fringe flap in the wind?

That's hilarious! Everyone should have a Mini-Gene in their speaker cabinet.

yeah this one has an 8ohm and a 16 ohm speaker in series. the last owner was probably using it like that for a very long time powered by the old musicman hd130 that it came with.
