Re-Housing An Amp & Speaker (1 Viewer)

[Galway Steve]

Help! I want to change the Laney Combo I have, fed up of looking at the plain blackness of it so I thought I'd try and build a new enclosure for it based loosely on a Fender Bassman or something along those lines. Anybody know any decent blogs/guides/sites that could help with this sort of info? I'll need Grill Cloth, maybe Tolex or similar or might leave it natural wood and other bits and bobs. Anyone else done this before? How'd it go?

Bunch of links in this thread for tolex and pretty much everything else you need.

Are you building a new cab too? Google speaker or head dimensions/rehousing and you'll generally find all your plans and measurements.

but not to the level you are looking at.

No, I'm just gonna build a new Combo, move the control panel from front to back. Cheers for the links!

What Laney is it?

Laney TF200. Bought it second hand about a year ago, figured it'd be a bit of an interesting project to have a go at.

Check out this software. It helps you figure out what size cab to build for desired frequency ranges depending on what speakers you use.

I think it might be intended for Bass though.

I reckon it's worth looking at the dimensions of the VC30 to start with http://www.laney.co.uk/show_spec.php?prod=vc30-112

I'd also be tempted to upgrade the speaker while your at it but that seems to have a much better speaker than the HH one that came with my Laney.
