Yeah, the speakers look to be about 19" wide at a glance, but once you get
your face in the grillcloth, you'll see the speakers are mounted by screws
onto metal tone rings. Alone, they cost about 60 bucks to buy.

The story behind Eric's rig goes like this: Rudy, our lead guitarist, wanted
a rig that he could take on the road to Cali but without having to lug his
full Showman rig around. A Showman is just not practical when you have to
ship your gear 3000 miles. So, he custom designed a cab that was basically a
Showman chassis on top of four 10's. We enlisted the help of a local guy who
owns one of the original Fender factory dovetailing machines, and he made
the cab and Tolexed it. We brought it back to the Nebula Command Center and
put the electronics and speakers in it, and we fired it up, and lo and
behold...
...it sounded like shit. So then we were like "now what?" and then as an
experiment, Eric plugged into it and surprise! It worked GREAT for his bass
rig! So he instantly inherited it, Rudy and Eric swapped out their
electronics chassis', and an amp was born! It's a Dual Showman chassis above
4 10" speakers and the speaker section of the cab is sealed.
