I couldn't think of a better sub forum for this, so amps it is.

A while back I got in touch with Paul at Zilla Cabs with a view to having a custom 4x12 made. I'd seen some of his work on stage at a Skunk Anansie gig, and heard the sound check through, and thought "I want me that cabinet!".

Today, said cabinet turned up. Oversized 4x12, camo tolex, metal grille, running a pair of Celestion V30 and G12H Anniversary drivers in an X pattern.

I've asked Paul to make me a matching rack so I can throw the JMP1, 8008 and 9200 in.

Here's the cab, sitting under said amp selection, with the TSL half stack. My neighbours will (not) love me.

Cool camo custom cab.
Regarding your neighbours a tiny tip: Respond to them: I can hear it, too, but I don't see the source of sound. Maybe it's covert.

Among your pictures, there is some with a stage and a guy with St. Pauli hoodie. St. Pauli is a famous district of Hamburg, Germany, and they have their own soccer club FC St. Pauli. Hence I asume it was a concert in Europe, wasn't it?

I like that approach 🤣

As for the guy in the hoodie, he was one of the roadies for Skunk Anansie, on their Manchester leg of the tour 👌
 
I saw the Skunkz recently playing an exclusive concert. Tickets had been raffled off only.
They venue was in a small broadcasting hall (concert room) of a radio broadcaster in Hanover. They have a regional studio. Skin, Ace, and Erika Footman (wife of Skunk Anansie's drummer Mark Richardson).

I was never a fan, although I remember their big singles back in the 90ies and good days of MTV.
Me was not a lucky winner, I had two tickets due to guest list offered by their national promotion company. And the promo company sent me Skunkz' current album, too.
Actually it was a very good concert. Skin's voice is still one of a kind after 30 years as a pro singer.

By the way: Your camo reminded me a little bit to the British DPM Camouflage. Hence Manchester confirms my assumption.
 

Another Zilla clip, featuring a fusion cab of 15" and 12".
The customer decides for vertical mount. Because of the bass response, it would have been interesting, to have the 15" up in order to naturally reduce a little bit of the low end.

The whole box design is standard. No seperate chambers or else.

I'd dread to think of the science behind chambering such a cabinet. It'd be interesting to hear it mind, and a scientifically specced cab too.
