BB...nice pick up...that Traynor stuff was well made, although I agree, why do kids spray paint grill cloths? Alnico 15 is worth a recone. Enjoy.

and i just did a buy it now on these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110855443776?ss ... 1439.l2649
should add an interesting twist to that 50 watt blackface Bassman !
Smooth cone does mean a little faster speaker break up, but twin 50 watters against a 50 watt head, should be fun !!!

WOW! Great price...and if the 15 inch Alnico CTS's are as good as thier 10's are, those should be fine sounding speakers! You are on a roll BB!

The 15's went in thecab and came out the same day.
Got a full refund, they were JUNK !!!! couldn't handle 6 watts let alone 50.

So I made yet another baffle (getting good at it) with 2x12 configuration.

Its a long story, i ended up with a pair of the Carvin British series 12's
Theye were 8ohms each and so they fit the bill at 4ohms in parallel.
Now just so you don't get confused these were the Eminence made in the USA Carvins @ 100 watts each as per the lable, the newer Chinese made brit series are said to sound like Pooh, these sound amazing and don't break up at all with the Bandmaster up to 5, And a big boost from the Route 66 Comp, amazing bass response too, i like my Overdrive to come from tubes and my cmatmods OD pedal, not my speakers.

Talk about SPANK !!!

And yes the organ works ! that means the tubes are at least likely to be good, tons of RCA's and some Phillips, Baldwin branded etc......
6L6GB's and a nice old 5U4GB Rectifier also

Sure but what do ya do with all them 12AU7's ????

Isnt the 6L6GB just another way of saying 5881 ?
and so probably not a good candidate for my bassman or Bandmaster ???

Can't say about the "Mandmaster" but those 6L6GB's will work just fine in your Bassman.
