About 2 years ago or so some of the major online retailers like Musicians Friend started advertising the RS212LB, 2 x 12 ported Lynch cab in green gator and gold trim. For most of a year it was advertised but there was never a picture of it posted. It turns out that the Lynch line was going to have a "make-over" with some comments on this forum stating that Randall was also supposedly having probelms getting a steady supply of the green gator tolex. When I heard that, last summer I put in an order for the cab while I still had a chance to get it. When it showed up at the store, it had silver piping, silver skull on black tolex, silver/black grill cloth w/ green gator on the sides and back. The Randall rep and the person handling the shipping at Randall said there were two model numbers listed in their system and that it was a shipping mistake and that I could send to back and swap it for the gold trimmed version. After some additional confusion, it was determined that the gold trimmed version was never produced before it was decided to discontinue it in that scheme and so it was unavailable. I then set out to convert it to gold trim to match the 100 watt head.
I had already aquired some green tolex that I had put away. I had a local guy replace the black tolex on the front with the green gator and he also repainted the skull gold. He also replaced the black and silver grill cloth with gold on black grill cloth. I also bought some gold piping from mojotone which is the exact same stuff that Randall uses and swapped out the piping.
I didn't take a before photo but there are still some stock photos on the internet (mainly from overseas sellers). Here is what it looked like before the coversion in the sliver trim. Note the black tolex on the front:
Here is what my rig looks like now:
The guy that repainted the formerly silver skull to gold used some type of clear coat first to make the brown and yellow mixed tint stick to it. It looks really good except it's a somewhat darker gold then the Randall logo on the amp. To me, the difference seems more pronouced in the photos that it does in person. I should have let the guy have my Randall logo to match the paint. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with it.
Modules are Deluxe, Voodoo Judge, Voodoo Scary (with signature knobs replaced with chicken heads)
Looking at this photo, to my eyes anyway, the color of the amp and cab logos appear to match:
You can see the port along the rear, bottom. I also installed a set of Beam Blockers on the front of my speakers so I put a Beam Blockers sticker on the upper right corner of the rear of the cab. http://www.webervst.com/blocker.html
This cab sounds MASSIVE!!!
