For less than the cost of one guitar lesson you can get a course with loads of lessons from a true professional! Get it! I am just starting in and the material on finding your way around the fretboard is priceless. A lot of lessons “tell” you how to visualize the fretboard but this lesson “shows” you how. Thanks Justin
Justin's course with Brett is fantastic and a worthwhile purchase for anyone who digs this channel. His anchor system is a really helpful way to break down the fretboard, taking it down to the simplest components of intervals related to a given root note. Tom Quayle is another great musician who got me into thinking this way before I heard of Justin. You will eventually get to the point where you can hear the sound of any interval before you even play it. Once you can visualize and hear the intervals you will take flight. Keep playing and staying inspired everyone
When you first mentioned that you were changing speakers, I wondered how the Alnico Cream would work out for you. The ET65 is a wonderful all-arounder and it adds versatility, especially to my plexi bass-style amp. I've used an ET65 in a semi-open cab for almost 7 years, and the Alnico Cream was the only speaker I have ever been tempted to replace it with. I find the ET65's only slight shortcoming is that the mids are a little bit subdued in a band mix. So I added a tiny 1x10 closed-back cab to my rig, loaded with a Celestion 10" Greenback--alongside the ET65 cab. That really fills out the sound without adding too much extra volume or carry weight. The Greenback 10" is much less efficient, so it doesn't overshadow the ET65. For recording, I separately mic each cab, which gives me lots of mixing options.
First time I ever purchased anything guitar lesson related on the Internet. Shocking: you for pay something, you actually pay attention to the details of the product..😊 Thanks for the hard work that you and Brett put into it. It shows.
The mysteries of Nashville guitar explained to a knucklehead like me, at a GREAT price. Everything that I want to learn right now. It's a no brainer. Thanks Bud. Kudos to Brett Papa also. Cool dude. That cab is awesome. Sounds great. I would buy that JO amp, if I could get it and I had the money.
I have the Morgan 4x12 cab in the "twilight" covering (no idea what its made of, doesnt look or feel like tolex) and I also have a matching Morgan MVP66 Head. Prior to buying the MVP66 my favorite amp was my Vox AC30. As soon as I heard the first notes/chords I played through the Morgan I was absolutely in love! I was like - holy shit! This thing sounds like a Vox on steroids! Good to know that my ear wasn't deceiving me and other people hear the Vox influence in Morgan Amps. Oh, and if anyone is curious, the Morgan M412 Cab has 4 Celestion Greenbacks installed from the factory. I replaced two of them with Alnico Celestion Golds (in an X pattern, of course). The Greenback/Gold Alnico combo is absolute sonic bliss! I also have Alnico Celestion Rubys in one of my 2x12 cabs and those mixed with Celestion G12M Creambacks sound fantastic as well. Seems like combining good ceramic magnet speakers and Alnico magnet speakers gets you everything thats great about both speaker type, imo. I'm currently on the lookout for a reasonably priced but quality built 4X12 cab that I can throw those Rubys and G12M Creambacks in (as opposed to the current setup I have them in - two 2x12 cabs connected using a Radial Cab-Link box). The M magnet Creambacks only have a 97db sensitivity compared to the Ruby's 100db (I currently have the cab with the Rubys up on a stand and about 2 feet behind the cab with the Creambacks to try to compensate for the small sensitivity difference). So I might have to switch to a set of the H magnet Creambacks, which are rated at 100 db sensitivity, once I find a good used 4x12 to put them all in. The Celestion Blue/Ruby/Gold/Cream Alnico speakers are all rated at 100db sensitivity. I don't know if 3db is a big enough difference to make the Rubys overpower the Creambacks. They would probably work fine together in a 4x12. However, Morgan sells some 2x12 cabs with a Celestion Gold and a Creamback but those cabs come with the H Magnet Creamback installed, which does indeed have the same 100db sensitivity as the Celestion Alnico speakers (I just looked it up to be sure).
Love your channel, Justin. Two tech tips suggestions: (1) use a 1/2" hex nut driver to loosen or tighten hex nuts on Switchcraft 1/4" phone jacks. It won't ding up the hex nuts like needle nose pliers can. (2) Remove all old solder and flux from a terminal, using a vacuum pump or desoldering braid, before making a new connection using new solder.
I went with neodymium on my used Blues Junior IV. It had a Fender/Emminence Hempster, that alone weighed 8lbs. The neo creamback cut 4lbs off of that. Net weight of the amp went from about 33lbs to just over 28lbs. Perfect for a grab-n-go amp for jamming and what not.
I bought the course, and I'm glad I did. I may have already "known" about the triads and how to find any note on the fretboard, but the course is causing me to actually *do* it in the course of the songs my band plays. I think that it's the concept of anchor notes and the example songs that made it click in my head. It's becoming easier, faster, and more inspiring to play original parts to our (admittedly) relatively simple chord progressions! I make the other musicians sound better . . . our band is leveling up these days. Sweet. 😎😎🎸🎸
Hey Justin, dig the channel! 1 tip when switching your speakers, the positive and negative wire doesn’t matter when it’s just one speaker… 2 or more then it does because of phase. When it’s just a single speaker it doesn’t matter.. lol.
It does matter to me. When I switch combo amps or cabs for my guitar parts in a track or run two small amps in stereo, I want them all in phase. It’s one of the first things I check for when I get a new combo amp or speaker cab.
"You get so sick of your own sounds, even if they're great"... Oh man I relate to this on a damn near molecular level!! I'm mostly an acoustic player, but find myself putting away my BEST sounding guitars for a spell (which I KNOW sound amazing) because I get bored of the sound!! I'll transition to playing something out of left field and completely different for a while (right now it's an inexpensive 90s Japanese nylon string) because the "new" sound inspires me to play different things. But it's always so great to inevitably come back to those other amazing guitars that have been sitting in their cases for a few months, right? Sorta like you coming back to the original speaker in your cab, I suppose! You should get one of those baby video monitors for your cabinet, so you'll always be able to gaze lovingly at it's aesthetic artistry and good looks from your studio hahaha!!! I recently discovered your channel, and this is my first time commenting, but I've slowly been going thru your back catalog of incredible videos... Thanks for all that you do, J.O.!!!!!
Hi Justin. Working through your course, wanted to thank you for creating it. Regarding your cab and mic combination: have you thought about capturing its IR? Then you could make a video on comparing it to the real thing + make it available for us. I believe there would be some interest for this. Thanks!
Here's a super geeky thing to think about... The more you crank down on those T-nut screws, the easier it is for the cab to generate unwanted resonant frequencies - probably in the low mids. One fella I know intentionally leaves them loose on his home/studio cabs, but screws them in tighter for the ones he takes on the road.
@@JustinOstrander That’s interesting. I use jbl k130’s, and the way they always go is from coil rub. Never really considered how torquing the frame could cause it, and probably has.
You gotta check out Avatar speakers! I have tried several from them and they have allbeen awesome. AV75 especially is a wicked speaker!! I ended up swapping out my WGS speakers with the AV75s. No regrets.
Chasing the muse indeed 🙂 The question I often ask myself. "Is this better or is it just different?"! RE the speakers. I can certainly see why folks go with an Alnico|Ceramic mix in 2 x 12" cabs.
Bought the course of course. I do have a question. What speaker do you have in your Deluxe reverb and have you tried the ET65 "in" the Deluxe? I got lucky and found a 1975 Deluxe reverb (Original Utah) and a Jackson Ampworks NewCastle 30 in the same day. Newcastle has an Alnico Gold in the external cab, so i tried it through the Deluxe, that got me thinking about speaker swapping. Thanks
I’ve had the ET65 in my old ‘65 Deluxe reverb for years. It’s perfect in that amp. Might just be my overall favorite speaker. And thank you so much for the support!
$69 Good price. Yeah change a speaker out and then you can change all those pedals out and see which ones work with it. Whole day gone. Agree I need to swap things around to get some new inspiration.

Beautiful cab. I have a RCA 35 as main amp for ten years, also Voxy frontend, which I love.
Best amp ever. Super sleeper
Got the course yesterday. Spent a couple of hours with. Already learned a ton. The anchor note concept is gamechanging.
So glad to hear this!

Thanks Justin ! I tried the WGS ET-65 for my Marshall 20 Clone but I settled on WGS Invader 50 👍
The ET65 is a really great speaker. Does wonders with my Two Rock and Fuchs, for clean and drive tones.

Yep. It'll also mess up your speaker's ability to move if you torque them down so much it bows the frame.

I go back and forth between WGS G12A and WGS ET65 in my 64 deluxe (non-reverb) about every 6 months

Course purchased!
Warehouse for the WIN!
Try out the jensen mod-50 12" its amazing for fender open back style cabs
I have that very same soldering station.
It’s a good station
wise words Jus
Is your course only available in the US? I have followed the link in the description and it just takes me to cups and T-shirts thank you.
ET65. Yessir.
Do you have IR’s for the two notes of that specific speaker? The G12?

Did you get it sorted?
@@JustinOstrander Yes quickly!
Thanks
Looking forward to the education

Thanks so much! I don’t drink, but I expect some wine reviews soon.
@@JustinOstrander you can still enjoy my stupidity.
i bet that box is too resonant. when you tapped it it sounded like a box drum, producing a note. ideally if you tap a speaker cab, it goes "thud". the louder you play the more this matters
I have never not absolutely loved the sound of this cab. Maybe that contributes to the sound I like so much?
i just add more cabinets with different speakers. easier for me to plug in cabinets than swap speakers
WGS make great speakers! We installed them in many combos we built when I worked for Richard Goodsell here in Atlanta. Btw- I cringed when you reached for the needle nose pliers to remove the speaker jack nut! Sorry! Do I need to get you a small 1/4” ratchet & socket set?!😎
That was in a toolbox drawer all the way on the other end of the garage 😂
@@JustinOstrander Best tool for the job is the one within reach!
Still havent tried that EVM12L in there? Duuude
I have one, and I have put it in this cab. I dig it for sure. Just not as my go-to.
Is Warehouse ET65 like 80s Celestion 65 watters?
Based on it, yes, but has its own thing going on.
Why not 2x12 and one of each?
I have tried that a couple times, and I just never love it. The other speaker affects the one you have mic'd. Sounds crazy, but that has been my experience.
@@JustinOstrander I wonder if you miced them both and blended it? Either way a lot more work, especially if you are happy with what you are getting with the one.
The endless search for inspiration.....
Could not pass it up...
Get a solder sucker!
C'mon. Those are so freakin old. Solder wick does the trick. Much easier and more controllable.
@@BrockDouglas99 That works as well. I have used both.
Maybe stop using an impact driver on your stuff unless you're building a wall. No need for that kind of torque.
I’m not really worried about it. It’s a wooden box. Impact at 10% max torque is just really fast.
Corksniffing...nobody can tell the difference....
On certain things that people make a big deal out of, I totally agree. The way two speakers of different construction sound is not one of those cases.
