What speakers should i get in relation to my set up and style of my band.
Setup
Amp: 60's Blackface fender bassman head 50 Watts
Cabinet: 2x12 closed back, custom built soild pine
Pickups: Humbuckers
Pedals: Overdriven Bigmuff Pi
Tunings: D (one whole stepdown) Drop C
Band style:
Dont let the tuning fool you we are not a heavy metal band. More of a heavy hard rock band. Think, QOTSA meets Tool meets smashing pumpkins. Looking for a baseball bat to the face of a bottom end. Heavy but not a metallic metal sound. Nice warm cleans with a little sparkle. what would be the best speakers to pair?
I was thinking Green Beret and a vet 30. Could the GB handle the lowes without sounding like mud?
Green Beret and a Et65. Would this be too middy?
you tell me I'm a noob. Thanks
Ok so after doing some more reseach I think I'm going to go with a 50 watt Reaper and Retro 30. Seem like it will be the perfect combination of hammer and nail. I'll let you know how it goes.
Yes, I think you will be pleased with the Reaper HP/Ret 30 combo ... "the perfect combination of hammer and nail" describes that combo perfectly. The only other thing I would suggest you consider is the ET65/Ret 30 combo, overall, that combo is just a little smoother and sweeter on the top end ... but not quite as loud as the Reaper/Ret 30 combo.
