yea, the cabs pictured are home entertainment variety, but I get the jest of what Tyler is saying. They could easily be built to house bass speakers. Have a bubinga cab built to say the 211 specs. That would be a beautiful cab, but very expensive. Hell, for that matter, you could have a matching rack built for your amp as well.
A couple things come to mind tho. First, I don't thing I would ever want to take them out of my house or studio because they would get beat pretty quickly. The second thing I would wonder about is how they would sound. I would think that as long as you went with a dense wood, there's no reason they couldn't sound great, but a very expensive experiment.
But in the jest of Tlyers post, I think cabs built out of wood that matched you bass would look awesome. What an addition they would make to your home studio.
You could make yourself a cab. Our guit player did that years ago. His Dad was into cabinetry, turned the garage into a shop. The guitarist made an extension cab for his Marshall combo, sounded great, way better than the built in speaker. Don't recall the wood he used but it was gloss clear coated solid wood. He got the grill cloth and hardware from Radio Shack, they used to have a book about making speakers with blueprints and the like, maybe they still do.
Putting the amp controls in the back and the amp no longer resembled the Blue Cabs and that, at least in my mind, defeated the effect I was going for. So I ended up with this....
