TONERING SPEAKERCAB who knows the real origin ?

[Benji Fatbass]

Hi I own the tonering cabs from Echolette with the original Isophon 15 inch speaker , sounding absolutely in my ears the best and warmest deepest bassound , there are also tonering cabs from Echolette with the JBL D130F and I don't like these for bass, they are destinated for guitar in my idea ,
Then I also own two of the Fender tonering cabs with the JBL140K but now is my big question : who really knows the origins of these cabs ? Fender seems to claim it is their invention and I don't believe that , Echolette had a very good connection with Isophon the German speaker manufacture and I think the origins of the tonering are German Isophon , also the Isophon speaker performs lots better then the JBL 's for bass , much deeper and richer tone , I use a lot of different amps , had also different amps in the past . but I like the German Dynacord 80 watts chassis like the Favorit , looking forward to reactions .. Gruss, Benjamin

I'm interested in finding out the concept's origins as well. It's difficult to find the info online. You'd think there would be enthusiast's postings of catalogs, etc. on this topic. I seem to remember Steve Swallow playing through a Walter Woods and Fender tone ring cab at one time.

I, My idea and many old people in Germany it was a development from Germany Isophone the speaker factory that worked also for Echolette that was specialized in basscabs and bassamps .. the fact that the Echolette and the Fender cabs are completly IDENTICAL in size and in build .. is strange ! the first of these cabs could be found in Germany with an Isophon 15" orchestra speaker early 1960 .. then later on Echolette made the option available of the tonering cab with the JBL D130F speaker , the result was a worse bass but better suited for Guitar since the Fender D130F was in those times the prime speaker for guitar. My idea : they swopped speakers for cabs .. in Europe Fender was to expensive and not so well known in Germany I talk about the 60's ; and USA did not even know Echolette existed ? but it is one of the superbrands concerning Vintage bassamps , most beautiful is the BS40 .. incredible amp puts any Fender bassman amp in the shade in tonality and quality of build .
I have a Fb site running about the vintage Dynacords and Echolettes see: VINTAGE ECHOLETTE AND DYNACORD ECHOCORDS upgrade and repair | Facebook
it's most about the tapeloopers , one of my specialities . the Tonering cab was introduced by Fender in the early Dick Dale time
