bac Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Anyone know someone local (or even in Scotland) who can do a conversion to a head and cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 The electrical work would be pretty straightforward - you really just need someone to make you a case for the head and a new speaker cabinet/resize the current speaker cab.. So any joiner would be able to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bac Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks. TBH I'd prefer to use someone with some experience of doing it. There's Zilla in Bristol but then you're into transportation issues. I'm often enough in Edinburgh/Glasgow etc that I could deliver it. I haven't totally decided but I might just go for the head and ditch the speaker - it's 15" and very old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Or just buy a cheap head with the right dimensions and change the insides. Zilla are mental expensive for what you're getting....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a decent solutions if I were half-way competent at that sort of practical stuff but I'm not. And it's an amp I've owned a long time so I would want the aesthetics to be decent - the existing casing is completely knackered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bac Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks for that. Spoke to the guy at Flynns, Nice bloke but tried to talk me out of it on the grounds I'd be desecrating a fine old combo. All very well but if it's too heavy for me to use it and in too delapidated a condition to be an easy sell, it may still be the best option.
