    Hofner Icon vs Contemporary vs Original

    just put labella flats on my ct 500/1. smooth and buttery. vintage tone and vibe through my 66' ampeg sb-12. electric instruments are so much about the pickups. one reason why i went with the ct and i was having a hard time finding a lefty icon.

    speaker replacement for ampeg sb-12?

    the holes are right up by the lid on the cab. one in the top middle straight down and two on the back at an angle. great. thanks. i'll put a little silicone in those holes. at one time it belonged to the "N.Y. Bass Amp Club". its painted stencil on top.

    speaker replacement for ampeg sb-12?

    thanks for the info. and link. looks like it might be the em1202. played last night and it sounded pretty good. couldn't hear the slight buzz with distorted guitar next to it. got in there with a light and mirror. there is only a number on the cone. the tag says jensen concert.

    speaker replacement for ampeg sb-12?

    any suggestions or links? not 100% sure it needs to be replaced, going to have it checked out. not sure of the year. mid 60's? tubes 5ar4, 7868, 12ax7. the plastic housing covering the magnet is bent and touching the frame a little. maybe it can be fixed. looks to be jensen. thanks.
