    1984 Fender Sidekick Bass 30: Looking for replacement speaker advice

    Photo 6 of the OP shows the Eminence label on the replacement speaker. The original doesn't have any such label and I don't know who the manufacturer of that one is. Photo 3 of the OP shows Fender Japan Ltd. I can only assume that means it was made in Japan`but I don't know for sure. I...

    New Members: How did you find TalkBass?

It is the original Badass (1) that was a gift, but then I got a Badass II and installed that on my Jazz bass back in 1990 or so. I was looking for info on the Badass 1 but it seems to have been...
