    Reggae Sound Suggestions

    I myself play in a reggae/afro cuban band. I use a warwick FNA Jazzman 5. I would suggest trying a hybrid head. I found with the SVT it would tend to break up as i dug in causing a fast decay in the low frequencies. I find 10" speakers are the best because they punch a little harder. 311's...
