I love my old Maz Jr 18 reverb combo, but am finding that it is too heavy to cart around for gigs. So I thought I would search out a head cabinet for it and switch it out so I could just carry the head. I also have a Z-Lux head with 1x12 cab for larger gigs, and I can use the 1x12 cab with my old Maz 18 reverb head as well. Well - I searched around and could not locate a head cab that was available, and I checked Mather for a custom cab - they have a 6 1/2 week backlog!
I finally decided to go ahead and purchase a new Maz Jr 18 MKII Reverb head and sell my combo when it came in, only - there is ZERO stock of the reverb head that I can find in the US! I am used to there not being much available stock due to the fact that these are custom hand built amps, but I am surprised that there is nothing available. Business must really be booming in the US, since there is no available stock - has anyone else found availability to be an issue on the reverb head?

I think that the Post Covid Economy and inflation has made sure that everything neutralizes. I am not surprised that there is a lack of inventory of Maz 18 Reverb Heads. Try to get Milgard Windows in Black, there is another thread for another forum. Seems like there was a combo kick there for a while as well. I'm looking for a head shell as well, just to change it up. I might be calling Mather soon ( He takes my calls) helmiJust kidding, I would communicate via email.

Btw, at guy at Humbucker Music told me that orders for a new Maz 18 Reverb head were a 9 month turnaround. This doesn't sound right, but maybe supply chain issues are still affecting things. Hey Purpletele - let me know if you run across any empty Maz 18 head cabs!

Hey Purpletele - let me know if you run across any empty Maz 18 head cabs! That is not true anymore. At one time in 2021 we were 45 weeks back ordered, but today we are 8 to 10 weeks back ordered. Parts are way more available and new orders have slowed down a bit. Still Cabs ,Chassis, Tubes , and Speakers are not as easy to come by as they once were. Z

Thanks for responding, Mike! Your presence on this forum is one of the reasons I keep coming back to the Dr. Z brand. Btw, I lucked out - a new Maz 18 MKII Reverb head just came in today at Sweetwater, and it should be delivered to me by Friday.
