In this video we convert an early 50s Hammond HR-40 Tone Cabinet Church Organ Amp into an Alnico 4x10 Bassman Piggyback Cab. I will show the entire pine cabinet construction including hand cutting finger joints without any jig or special tools. Then we will mic it up in a stereo configuration powered by a Fender Reverb combo to head conversion to display the heavenly tones.
