Jolly Green Giant 700B in work

[WOPL Sniffer]

Since I finished the Roxanne III build, I got the hankering to build a 700B for myself. Every time I build a 700B, somebody buys it out from me and I'm out an amp. And it takes forever for an affordable one to show up. So I decided to make it ugly enough so nobody would buy it from me. It's just a mock-up since I'm waiting on White Oak boards, but you get the idea. I was working on it the other night and the wife came in to the shop and took one look at it and said, "OH HELL NO, that thing is hideous and is not going in to the living room". And then asked me what possessed me to do that to a 700B... I tried to explain it to her that I didn't want anybody trying to buy this amp from me. But chicks aren't that smart. She just couldn't understand. Nothing that can't be repaired... Friggin Lime Green Pearl.

To keep the peace, and placate the wife (I think she said it clashed with the curtains or some shit) I toned it down a little but I still have the knobs which I will replace after she forgets.

I think you need to change the black insert to a cannery yellow along with handles. With all that On the champagne faceplate it may look pretty modern. So millennium will have to have it for their 600 sq ft condo.

I'm more upset about the rack handles....

 

[Gibsonian]

Lee, you thinking the 700B style handles in Lime Green or black?

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I have a couple pairs to play with

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I also have a black faceplate coming so I have options

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I don't feel so bad after seeing that

Very 80’s with the green.

Offset with purple LEDs for the meter!

 

[laatsch55]

The dark green that the handles are now. I like the two tone look...

How about the black faceplate with the yellow like grapplesaw suggested? It's your amp do it your way and keep it, enjoy what you have created, money be damned!

Isn't that about the same green that your truck is/was?
