Re-house a Fender Pro Jnr - who does this in the UK?

johnhe

Hi folks,

I own a couple of little Fender Pro Jnr's which I absolutely love for smaller gigs and rehearsals. I love the sound and the portability. However, I've recently become a little frustrated by the lack of bass in the small stock cab. This means than for any small gigs I take the Pro Jnr and a separate Engl 2x10 (which sounds absolutely fantastic by the way), but obviously means more boxes to carry.

So what I would like to do is rehouse one of my Pro Jnrs in a better sounding cab. I'd like the cab to be 1x12, but I'd like the option of a 2x10 baffle if i ever want to convert it in future.  I'd like the new combo to be as light as possible, and I hear that finger jointed pine cabs can actually be lighter than the stock MDF.

Pro Jnr users in the USA rave about the Tonedog Pro Senior cabs. Can anyone recommend someone in the UK who could offer a replacement cab?

Pine vs MDF weight - absolutely spot on MDF weighs a ton !

Have you experimented with alternative speakers before becoming a carpenter ?

I have tried 3 different speakers, but I'm starting to think that any speaker in that tiny cab is going to be constrained.

Which ones ?  - the 10" Ragin' Cajun is supposed to be good.

I've had the original Fender/Eminence speaker, and now I've got an Emminence Copperhead in one amp and I think there is an Emminence Ramrod in the red one. I've also got 2 x Celestion Vintage 10 silver speakers in my Engl Cab. Best sounding cab I've ever used.
