1x12 Replacement Cab for my 1x10 5.25?

[soundchaser59]

If I remember correctly, it is possible to buy an empty 1x12 cab (no amp, no speaker) for the 5.25 Express to allow me to convert my 1x10 amp to 1x12 simply by moving the amp chassis to the new cab?

Can anybody confirm this? What does Mesa charge for the empty 1x12 cab?

I think I'll end up wanting to do this...

anyone?

Actually from what I hear they don't allow you to just buy the empty cab. I was really wanting to buy a scout bass cab for the 5:25 head and then just put a V30 in it. :/

Someone on the board has a Lonestar empty amp cab for sale . It's white and would look cool with the express in it. Just check with Mesa to see if it's possible.

I just got a reply from the retailer here, they say Mesa will let them order an empty 1x12 Express cab for $359 or something.......but they didnt' exaclty say that I can order it myself. I dont know if the order has to go thru an auth'd dealer? They said their tech can simply migrate the chassis over, then I can put any speaker I want in it.

Not sure it's worth that much to me, since I have 3 or 4 nice cabs sitting around!
