Drivers for guitar cabs - opinions wanted
Hi, fellow JBL fans:
I'm asking our fine community for opinions on what JBL drivers, new and classic, are a good selection for different styles of guitar (and bass, for that matter) playing.
The D130F in pairs is a great fit for the Fender Dual Showman in most opinions, for example. Let's hear everyones thoughts on what they think which music sounds best on what compliment of JBL drivers/amps. Get radical, too!
Regards,
Charley RUmmel

...That's something I have to experience someday! Sure seems like a nice break from the Celestion greenbacks.
The Mitchell with the E110's - that looks interesting. What's your style?
Also, Fred Sanford, you've got a modded Bandmaster with a single 15" in a sealed cab? Playing bass? Sounds interesting. I'll bet that offers a lot of versitility and an easy way to keep the tech at the board happy without sacrificing your performance...What's your style?

Altec Alnico 417's were popular...
Altec's Alnico 417's and the ceramic version, the 917, were popular with many guitarist's, professional and amateur alike.
Bill at Great Plains Audio is making NEW Alnico 417's as I write this (I have one right here) BEAUTIFUL!
