Thank you so much! As a guitar and bass player, I was lucky to stumble across this gem. I've been looking for over a half century for a 12" speaker that I could put in a larger 1x12" cab but still relatively portable that would cover both my guitar and bass gigs. I never found a speaker to my liking that does both well. Some EV's and JBL's come close, but no cigar. Until now. The Celestion BN12-300S sounds lovely on bass and has plenty enough power but I was late to the game in realizing its guitar prowess. I've ordered one for a Seismic 1x12" cab that's 17"x17" and 15.5" deep picked up on the cheap. Plus, the new speaker will be about 4lbs lighter. Always a good thing.
Thank you for putting the time stamps in the description! At first I was thrown off because the end of each of the beginning clips uses the neck pickup, and the beginning of each one uses the bridge pickup. Once I realized that, I used the timestamps to compare bridge to bridge. I think the Tonkerlite was the standout speaker here. Incredible! Thank you for this eye opening, ear opening video! They all sounded decent, the Copperback is impressive since it handles 250 watts yet still has some upper end presence to the sound. I would settle for that one, but preferred the Tonkerlite for its warmth, clarity, and smoothness. From the clean funk samples to the crunch and heavy sounds, it always sounded the best. Didn’t expect that!
