Aaahhhhh yeah bitches...my Blues Jr. III is ordered and will ship to my house. Guitar Center sent a 15% off coupon today. I plan to pimp it out with many Billm mods and a better speaker. Regardless, I'm stoked to be moving into tubeampville! Thanks Santa.

If your interested, here is a BJ completely decked out by Billm. It's going to be fun to buy all these mods. I'll have a relatively inexpensive amp that kicks major ass!

Also poster suggested a Cannis Major hemp alnico which I'll seriously consider.

Ok so I finally finished doing some serious Billm mods to my Jr tonight. I had it all done a couple days ago but was getting a funky voltage reading on my bias so I spent some time troubleshooting it, all the while not playing a note in anticipation. It's alive!  But I can play it until tomorrow cuz it's night time. I know the presence control, orange drop caps, output bias, power stiffening caps, twin stack mod, and other new caps are going to make it sing. I played a bit at like .25 volume to confirm it's working.  :P

I feel accomplished. This was a feat. It was so fun too. I really enjoy the whole experience.

I'll post audio soon enough; you can bet.
