Wall of Sound Speaker Cabinets for Sale

I thought this already happened. 

Had one of these in my garage for a bit

 

damn I miss buddy

 

 

yes, I miss Jerry more.   Long_Live_The_Dead 

Damm wooden boxes conjured up an awful lot of magic, I can still feel it just looking at em

Tbh my memory is a bit cloudy 

when living in chemeketa park above Los Gatos 

I do know I stored one in my garage. And I do remember giving it to my friend JP who was a bass player that hung with our friends band Osiris that practiced in the mcKernans garage in Palo Alto   (Ron's brother Kevin would sing hard to handle    Eerily sounding just like the pig) sometimes 

I honestly don't remember if Kevin owed me money and or traded it to me but Iknow it was in my possession  maybe I just was storing it for JP  the dead / Jerry helped out the band a bit   They opened for. JGB band in sf once  it had twin 15" jbls

 

john Paul left us a couple of years ago  and his daughter contacted another friend that recovered it in Monterrey 

HE was  close to JP and believes he should keep it

 

This friend has a ton of artifacts from carol m and the family. An amazing museum worth of hand written lyrics and stuff 

I also have some pig stuff that I cherish 

Including the Buffalo skin coat, a pigpen belt w buckle, a pig painting  and tons of handbill postcards some with carols name and the Santa Catalina address on them   I am a hoarder and quite a bit nostalgic

"According to my correspondent, Garcia made sure that Kevin McKernan's band Osiris had good equipment, apparently including some PA Cabinets that the Dead were no longer using. Garcia also made sure that Osiris got some gigs with various Dead spinoff bands that were playing around the Bay Area in late 1974. Osiris opened for the Garcia/Saunders group at USF Gym on Halloween, 1974, and they also opened for the Keith And Donna band at the Keystone Berkeley on June 14, 1975."

obviously the GD were flooded with PA gear in late 1974, and no exact future plans. How the WOS eventually all got cannibalized is another story in itself.

I felt inspired enough by the originals to make my own. 

Likely that maples pavilion at Stanford was the first major introduction

 

 

bouncing basketball gym floor copying the old gym where I saw Lew Alcindor grab a silver dollar off the top of the backboard in warmups   Glad my brother got me into the student section!

if I squint just a bit I can still see them swaying "dangerously " 

snd will never apologize for Being geographically convenient

 

lol   Not trolling  the troll (As it's awesome that he's on vacation)  but  it still blows my mind what he can spew

 

 Nice work!! High note 

 

stu Allen's cabs look pretty sweet too

Thanks. 

>>>>>student section- goody fer you- we had to stand in the rain until there was only side balcony left. - Memorable night however.

You bastards.

I consider that one of the all-time Dead shows. Back to the old stomping grounds to blow the place out.

Eyes.

 

Yes Highnote, those are excellent.

Great work. I imagine Joe Winslow would approve.

Nice work. Tough to tell from the photo, but even looks to be correct 3/4" birch 13 ply.

Just in case you didn't hear....

Did any warm up bands play through the wall of sound back in the day?

Good call on the ply. Yes, 3/4 13 ply Baltic birch that I sourced from a quality wood supplier nearby. No voids, no buzzes. Clips were found on Ebay from a machinist in Connecticut. I made a 2x12 and a 1x12 (easier to carry).

The 1x12 has an Eminence Commonwealth and the 2x12 has a pair of Weber Californias. Tight, punchy and clean. 

High note. Send sound clip for team validation (an oxymoron here lol)

And for the guitar / or. Other nerds    What do you play?

And what about the low notes?  

StringTwang,

Very nice-looking Cabinet and Workmanship.

You must have spent a lot of time on those.
