Refinishing James’s Old Cabinet
Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2025 6:49 pm
So as mentioned in the diary thread, I’ve stripped and refinished the Torres 2x10 cabinet that I acquired from James. I traded some Jamesons whiskey for it and rewired to 16ohms. That was nearly 15 years ago at Progfest.
It’s served me well, running it with my Dual Terror until I sold it to my lead singer when I had my Newly-single gear midlife crisis.
After pretty much all my gear was sold when shit hit the fan, I brought it back from my lead singer, as i realised that some of the best guitar sounds I’ve had have been because of that cab.
It’s been paired with my Marshall Origin 20H since i got it and has been a great match.
So I stripped back to its bare parts to reveal some nice solid pine underneath. I reset and strengthened some of the internal braces and finished it in briwax. Some black corners and a good clean and it’s all done. I’ve reverted it to its original open back configuration.
I think it looks pretty good, the wife is happy that the god awful purple colour is gone
