fretless Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 My buddy is almost done a sweet headshell he's building for a mini amp I have . The little DIY Firefly kit I found a couple years ago . These are 1.5 watt tube amps that sound pretty darn good . Here is a wee clip of the shell . He also put some Purple Heart splines on it .
fretless Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks Fellas , we actually found that Maple on ebay ( there is a ton of stunning woods to be had @ the 'bay) . It was a killer deal , like 80 bucks for several large boards & free shipping .
H Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 That's pretty I like non-standard woods for amps that won't see life outside the bedroom/man cave.
kbp810 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Looks great, I'm always a sucker for figured maple I like the purple heart splines, a subtle accent that doesn't take away from the maple

It was a killer deal , like 80 bucks for several large boards & free shipping . I wanted to ask where you found the maple. As many lumber yards I visit, I have yet to find an extraordinary piece of maple. Congrats! Nice snatch.

bolero Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 looks awesome watching the vid, I was expecting a hammer to come in & tap on it...tap-tuned head cabs? why not?
