Deville Rehousing

hoofhearted

My old deville 410 is a bit rekt m8 through years of gigging without a case.
I also decided to put some french polish on it at some stage which was supposed to come out honey coloured but it came out chocolate brown lol.

I know it does look kinda cool but its a heavy oul beast to lug around, so was thinking about getting a new cab made and rehousing it and making it a 2x10 to give it new lease of life and making it more portable.

Just wondering if anyone has done this before?

No idea, but you could probably sell that cabinet to pay for the conversion!

I had Zak at ZD Cab designs rehouse mine, albeit a 2x12 any way.

I’ve got this exact solution. I have a Deville 2x12 which came in a 1x12. I transferred it back into the 2x12 but it’s bloody huge!

im selling the 1x12 if that helps.

@Gwatkins15 that looks awesome mate! Do you mind saying how much that rehouse cost??

I can't remember completely, around £150-200 I think, he is in Belfast so that includes a fair bit of postage.

@TeleMaster If you don't sell the 1x12 cab anytime soon ill take it off your hands but it would be after Xmas. Would you ship to N Ireland at my expense?

TeleMaster

Yes sir I would. We’ll see where we’re at.
