I hear that Bill M mods are pretty useless. Sort of like polishing a turd (not that I think the BJ is a total turd). No matter what you do, the circuit stays the same, and it is just better to buy another amp all together if you're not happy with one.

Billm does post on this forum....just sayin'...

I've heard some effective BillM mods on the BJ, but for me the simple act of changing the driver to a Celestion V30 made the biggest difference of all.

I run my BJ on the edge of clean. I use an O/D pedal for crunch, and kick in a Blackstar HT Boost for lead.

Loud enough for me as a 2nd guitar player in my small club/pub blues band. Only ever had to mic it up once.
