Converting a Blues Junior to a head... who makes the cabinets?

[brittwin]

I was thinking about converting a Blues Junior to a head. Does anyone know who would make the cab to make this happen?

Lots of guys.

Our own RL in FLA does great work, he did a killer 4x10 cab for me.

I forget his website..but if you search his name, his user info should come up. GREAT work, very reasonable price. (No affiliation from me).

Edit: here it is.

I haven't done this yet, but I've been wanting to try Mojo Musical Supply's blackface standalone reverb cab. It looks like it might just work, sizewise, and Mojo can modify the cutout and drill it for the Blues Junior. They already have a Deluxe-sized BJr cab, so they know the dimensions.

I found this thread on a search 'cause I'm thinking about converting my BJr to a head. Just for grins, I went to BillM's BJr mod site to look again at the extension cabinet he made. Lo and behold, he's now working on a head conversion involving moving the tubes to the large surface of the chassis vs the edge where they normally reside. It's a work in progress. I'm anxious to see the finished product. Check it out:

Bumping this thread. Does anyone know of a company that is doing this?

Peter could probably make this happen. He builds head boxes for quite a few companies. The guy just does excellent work all around. I have one of his ported 1x12 cabs and love it. I'll be getting a custom 2x12 from him soon as well. His customer service is second to none as well.

I'm interested in this as well...let me know how you make out.

JD Newell is perfect for price and satisfaction.
I have bought a few heads/cabs from him.

Beautiful work! I'd try this guy.

Hi guys, in your opinion will a bj head + 1x12 cabinet, weight lesser than a combo bj?

 

[woad_yurt]

I would gues that together they'll weigh more because you'll have 2 additional pieces of wood the combo doesn't have, the bottom of the head and the top of the cab.

Seriously?? How could it?

 

[fantomius]

Seriously?? How could it?

Maybe using some lightweight wood.

However, yes I think that couldn't be possible.
A stock bj weight 14 kg, in you opinion how much should weight the cabinet and the head individually?

I'm looking for an extra-lightweight combination.

Just another thought for the OP.

BJ's Achilles heal is the small stock cab. If I were considering a head/cab design, I'd make sure it has a much deeper cabinet and house at least a 2x10 or 2x12 config.

Another vote for www.mathercab.com for the job.

This scared me. I was like, I didn't post here today. Then I realized, it was today 2 years ago.

Back again after nearly two years to add:

At $110, not bad!

 

[jcarpenter]

Here's mine I got the oversized combo version to HRD cab diamentions. And yes it was lighter than the stock particle board cab that comes with the BJ. It doesn't even sound like the ame amp. It really does sound as full as a HRD but has a master volume with 15 watts so the volume is a lot easeir to control.

Rocket Cabinets built one for me a few years ago. He did have listing in the Builder/retailers section.
