Which Weber Speaker..

boogaloo · December 18th, 2003, 12:03 AM

I asked this question on the Telecaster forum- should have asked here (sorry Webmaster).
Anyway- I'm having a custom amp built. It will be voiced somewhere between a Deluxe Reverb and Super Reverb (matter of fact it will take either 6V6 or 6L6 power tubes, I'm told). It will be about 20 watts w/6V6, about 30 with 6L6.
I'm pretty much set on Weber speakers- I'm thinking a 1x12 to start with, maybe 4x10's later. I love that Fender type tone, SRV's "Tin Pan Alley", Jimi's "Little Wing" (now, I don't play like that- I just like the tone :o ). Any suggestions? Also- I see the ceramic magnet speakers are about half the cost of the AlNiCo- is there that much difference? I had ceramic pickups in an ASAT that I've owned and didn't like them- what's the effect on an amp speaker? Thanks in advance. I'll be up for awhile, but am getting tired, so I may have to thank any information providers tomorrow...

For 'old worlde' Tele sound I would say alnico. But many people with mulit-speaker amps run them half and half to get the best of both worlds. Alnico to me is a nicer speaker and i would always choose it, especially for a guitar with alnico magnets in the pickups. YMMV.
