      That would look cool with a same color extension cab under it...

      It would probably need to be rebiased and the tubes changed as well..

        That's the same Celestion speaker in both amps we posted, i'm pretty sure...

        The one I found is on ebay from unclefreddysmusic for $1,199.99 buy it now with free shipping...

          On sweetwater they made a mistake in the description then.

          I think it's a celestion blue..
          With a matching extension cab that would be killer!

            I would put it on a white cab...

            But just to make sure, I did a search, and Jensen makes no speaker that remotely resembles the speakers in those amps. And in the Sweetwater ad, you can read Celestion...and those speakers are said to sound really nice...



            I've heard good things about these as well...



            But this still sounds best to me for a "new" speaker...



            They have a certain midrange that makes clean or dirty guitar shine...

            These Vintage 30's sound similar once you break them in by cranking them with 100 watts all day...



            Prior to that they are buzzy. I don't know the physics or mechanics behind this, but it's well known and it works. You basically end up with a bulletproof greenback!

                I don't see why it would need tubes, rebiasing, or especially a transformer ??

                    If these are anything like the other Fender tube amps made in Mexico they'll use them crap Pacific Audio ones that have no range.

                    At least when Fender bought Groove Tubes, you know you got something with some kind of guarantee..

                          also my question.
                          Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
                          it's kamas

                            Most modern fender amps come biased cold from the factory.
