Riptide Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hey guys! I have a Vox AC-15 (which I love very much) and just today I plugged it in through my Epi cab (as an extension speaker) and the result was very nice! The "Lady Luck" speaker in the Epi cab has some extra bass and bright highs (slightly scooped) sound to it which complemented my G12-M nicely. I've also been thinking about working on a speaker cab project with my dad. (ever since I re-finished a guitar with him I've wanted to try another project!) So, since I'm thinking of building a cab, I thought why not make it and extension for my AC-15? So anyway, I'm wondering what speaker you think would pair nicely with a Greenback? I'm thinking something that is bassy and tight sounding... maybe a little scooped too? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I think you've answered your own question. Either take one from the epi cab or buy another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 An interesting project... There are some great extension cabs on the market from the likes of Laney et al So a squint at their specs could point the way... <_< V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If you want to go the "vintage" route, I've got a Fender Oxford 12 and a Fender Rola 12 I'd part with. I believe they're 8 ohm speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 I think you've answered your own question. Either take one from the epi cab or buy another one? I thought about that but I'm not going to do it for a couple reasons. I want to use that cab for other purposes, and I also wan't to build my own cab so there's no point in buying a second Epi cab. And the biggest reason is that where the Lady Luck does sound good with a Greenback it isn't really a great speaker... it has more bass but it's a little flubby and it has bright highs but they are a little sterile. Thanks for the input I'll check all those options out. Has anyone tried a Creamback with a Greenback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Makes sense I did mean buy another speaker as opposed.to a cab but you've covered that in your response too. I would secong the v30, maybe one of the tighter sounding jensens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 No, the vintage 30 is celestian. I was just saying the jensons are worth a look too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking at them, are there any particulars you'd suggest? I was actually looking at the Mod 10-35 but don't 10 inches usually have less bass?

Jon S. Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Celestion G12H30 and a Greenback = awesome. +1. Had this combo in a 2x12 cab with a Bassman head and it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
