Default Bon Jovi amp art

Well, I got a little tired of the dull grey Bounce satellite array on my smaller 4x12 amp cab so I took some inspiration from the new Bon Jovi single and made it a little brighter:




Took a while but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out in the end.

By the way, if you're reading Richie and you want some amp cabs customising for the upcoming tour, give me a shout - my rates are very reasonable!

Thanks guys. It was just 3 different colours of standard household emulsion. I planned out the design to scale using a copy of the single cover I found using google and just plastered the paint on.

It took about 15 hours in total and still needs a little touching up and second coat here and there but it's pretty much finished.

I would love to earn money at it and was actually sub-contracted by Jim Bon Jovi's brother for a short while as he runs a band merchandise website. However, there just wasn't the interest mainly because each one is hand-painted which obviously drives the costs up and puts people off. I do enjoy painting them though!

What site was it that you know of out of interest?

Cool, I'd be intrigued to see some other custom cabs as I haven't come across any myself.
