Self Built Tweed Case and Much Modded BJr'

[saltyseadog]

Here are some pics of my much modded 1998 made in USA BJr'. I had always wanted an old 50's tweed but way out of my price range so during the Covid19 lockdown period I did some research and decided to build a 1" pine cab based on a Fender Bandmaster style cover it in tweed cloth and then coat with shellac. It turned out well I thought and as I have posted some pics in the self build strat forum of my latest one I thought I would post the amp ones here. Hope you like them.

What speakers went into that build?

What speakers went into that build?

The original 12" Eminence Special Design speaker is on the bottom with two Eminence Patriot 820H 8" speakers on the top. All three together run through the 4ohm output on the Hammond 1760F output transformer I installed. The two 8" ones are wired in series giving 8ohms output then wired to the 8ohm 12" in parallel.

Cool project.
I've always thought the BJr would benefit greatly from more cabinet.

I’d love to do an ‘extension cabinet’ with two 12” for under my new Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb, but where to get the blonde covering ????
