Re: Looking for Custom Cab Builder
What colour is the head that's going to sit on top of this beast?
Black grill and blue snakeskin would be sweet regardless, personally in my head I don't get as excited about a black head on oxblood grill with blue snakeskin.
Mismatch can work though, and if you like the look of it who cares!

I think porting a cab with C-Rex's would probably sound great.

I am going to go without a port for this first one though. I have also decided to order with a covertible option featuring a 3/4 open design.
I still can't make up my mind on the tolex though. Black and blue is my $%!+, but I do think his Oxblood suggestion will look stylish as hell if I go with it....

I have not discussed porting with him yet. I know I will put more emphasis on porting when I begin discussing a 2x15 bass cab with him after this first 2x12... but Demanic, you have a boatload of gear and XP, do you like porting with 2x12 cabs and do you think you would mess with porting with C-Rex speakers?

I have asked him a lot of questions and he has been extremely helpful. I will definitely be buying a few cabs from him and if anybody is wondering, his prices are very good. I will never reveal prices for custom ordered gear, so do not ask me, but if anybody does need a cab, do not be afraid to get an estimate from him. It is not going to cause sticker shock for most people in the market for new cabs.
On a side note, he says the Oxblood grill cloth will really pop with the blue snakeskin. So, I am having trouble deciding between the Oxblood and the Mesa Black grill cloth from Speaker Builder Supply. That is my biggest decision at the moment but it is a killer...

Re: Looking for Custom Cab Builder
Update from Emperor cabs. Craig from Emperor e-mailed me back almost immediately! I am impressed by that. However, he informed me they do not use tolex on their cabs. Hey, they do some beautiful work so I understand. If I ever need a gorgeous cab, I will definitely look their way. If anyone is facing a similar cab quest in the future, let it be known that Emperor does not use tolex. It might save you some time...
Even though I will not be choosing them for this project, I really appreciate their courtesy.
Craig said they could accommodate my other requests such as potentially designing them so they can stack as well as loading them with C-Rex speakers.

I sent a message to a few of the suggestions. I will keep the thread updated if I have any luck...
Thanks again!

Originally posted by Empty Pockets View PostMauler Custom Cabs are probably the best bang for buck and I think still does tolex or stained cabs. Emperor or Worshipper cabs might do the snakeskin for an upcharge. The guy from Hovercraft just offered some custom tolex options for his heads and he dabbles in cabs too.
