Doesn't look "funny" or foot-stool patio at ALL.
What a jerk-wad comment. Whoever did that custom job improved on the factory big time.

Kewl.

The original amps were mfrd. when guit players suffered from ego-self-itus. Gunslinger mentalities lose. The BEST are always humble and hip.

This is the MM w/ balls in Musician's
skin.

Big bad black is forever stuck in more bedrooms than anyone dishonest at heart could ever admit.

The carpet in front of them is splattered with more stains than the TV in a cheap (or expensive) hotel room :-) Nostalgia freaks, feel free to grit teeth, cringe and hate back.

Great ART! Thanks Steve!

I always liked this look... ever since I first saw it in the Legend amplifiers that came out in the late '70's, early '80's.

It is a breath of fresh air in a room full of black luggage. Unfortunately, the luggage stands up to abuse more than fine furniture!

I think these look like clothes hampers in a room smelling like fat and cat smells. Just my opinion.

Yeah..somebody else remembers the Legends...only thing I never liked about mine was lack of tube
power amp section...somehow the 12ax7 is ok for
pre-amp but I have to have the tubes (ie. not solid-state amps). and it also reminds me of
the Mesa amps.

I know this is a old post but I don't want people to get wrong info.One thing I will say is if you are going to wicker and wood your musicman do it like the second pic not the first ,the first looks awful the colors are off ,it need abit of a redish type wicker not that bright yellow,also the badges in the wrong places always looks bad .now about Ledgend amps which the second kinda does look like ,they did have a tube,they were the opposite of musicman amps,they had solid state power and a tube preamp.I had a hard time telling if Douglas said they had the preamp tube or not ,the ledgend amp I had sounded really bad by the way ,really cold and grating.

The wicker looks rad! But wouldn't it screw with the sound? Seems like it would be less transparent than the original grill cloth.. For the combo at least.
