Question:
If you owned a Fender HotRod Delux, which speaker would you install?
Option 1: Celestion Blue
Option 2: Tone Tubby
Option 3: Weber
Option 4: Other?
Pretty straight forward question. I figure until I buy a new amp, I've gotta get that stock speaker outa there, it's killing me. Right now I'm torn between the Celestion & TT. You guys decide!
i love my tone tubbies, pretty long break in period but Iam sure that wont be a problem with you benny! cheers
ps. my solo band is comprised for Teenie Hodgins (al green, cat power) and Jerry Lee Lewis Drummer of 15 years Dennis Graham. So its me, my funky bass player, 2 old blues legends, and a clavinet/b3 player. Hold onto your butts. Iam writing all the songs this time :0)
I love the TT speakers in my hard truckers cab, I don't think I'll ever play without them.
Walker,
You know your going to buy a new amp anyway, so why not put the $100-200 or so that you would spend on a speaker upgrade and save a bit till you get a Deluxe or Twin or whatever is itching at you at that time.
I really would like a small Princeton (reissue or older) or if money suddenly becomes good, a 55 tweed deluxe reissue (nice and light weight!). You know I will call you when I find a good priced Princeton looking to sell you my deluxe anyway. I don't gig like you, so I don't need the deluxe (or do I?)
Off topic: Problem is I have bought several other small tube amps and when in the same room as the deluxe I cant help but hook them up to that cabinet and they all sound great though the deluxe making me never like anything else. It must be the size of the cabinet because everything sounds like ass next to it even though its a stock reissue. I don't have mod's on anything and I still love my basic little setup.
I have to agree with the above. A better amp with a p.o.s. speaker is going to sound better than your amp loaded with the best sounding speaker ever made.
