finishing stretch

well heres the last set of pics for this baby cause it is finished and sounds awesome.
it'll will ship out to alberta on tuesday!

anyways heres a shot of the preamp socket, nice and tidy the way i like my builds. my house is nowhere near this clean!
most people use a brass plate for a grounding platform for these old tweed styles.
i prefer a floating buss bar system its a little trickier to do. but it looks ten times better, and your amp is ten times quieter. heres a detail.
and heres  shot of the whole buss bar. the key is to tie all grounds to this bar and only have the bar connect to the chassis at one single point. this eliminates ground loops which can cause excessive hum and feedback.
chassis installed in the cabinet and reday to be buttoned up.
and the finished product wrapped in a nice tooled leather tolex box. mart, i hope you get around to building the matching guitar.
stay tuned everyone next up is a 100watt orange style amp
