I've been using Eminence bass speakers for the past decade and Eminence guitar speakers for almost two decades now. I love Eminence. However, I can't find 4 ohm versions of the Eminence neo-mag 3015LF speakers I wanted for my new 2x15 cab build. As a result, I'm considering two FaitalPRO...

Here are photos of the Eminence Basslite C2515 speakers, each one is 4ohm. Each speaker has a 300-watt RMS rating, 98dB sensitivity, with 52Hz-2.5kHz frequency response. Each speaker weighs 5.7 pounds. These are tough to find, discontinued speakers.

Yes. The basslite speakers are awesome for anyone who needs them. You won't believe how light they are for 15s and they sound very good!

I will be taking photos of them later, I have to pull them out of my 2x15. They are barely used. Maybe about 50 hours on them. I'm getting into sub-bass territory so I'm looking to replace them with the Eminence Kappalite 3015LF voiced for sub-bass. Edit: I can't seem to find 4 ohm versions of...

As a fan of the Pistols, I don't dig these at all

Indeed. The inconsistencies of any tree species is an interesting subject. When it comes to looks, for me personally, it's tough to beat any ash. However, the debate about which region produces the best ash for an instrument is tough to nail down without knowing exactly where the ash was sourced...

No doubt the humidity is a factor. As a northerners, we have extremely humid summers in MN/MI, but extremely dry winters. My understanding is a lot of northern ash comes from places like Michigan.

Thank you! I need to finish it. I need to order a FR and a Duncan Custom '78 set for it. I will bring the neck to a luthier to get the Floyd nut installed. Although, I'm tempted to order a new bocote neck with SS frets. I might just have a luthier install SS frets on this neck because I dig how...

I have one more solid body swamp ash guitar I always forget about because it's not playable at the moment. My Strat is a one-piece solid body swamp ash that is only about 2 pounds and 8 oz. It's very lightweight. Although the species is the same as northern ash, it does seem that swamp ash has...

All my bodies feature swamp ash sourced by Warmoth or the carved top on my bass sourced by orpheo. I prefer swamp ash. I played a northern ash strat once, it was okay but it wasn't the same as swamp ash.

I definitely prefer chambered ash bodies. I have two solid body ash axes, one guitar and one bass. And I have one chambered ash guitar. The chambered ash guitar is perfect. The solid body guitar is paired with a roasted maple neck which makes it a reasonable weight and it really sounds great...

There's no doubt about it, ash is a durable, sturdy wood. It makes instruments that will outlive us.

Interesting. You've got my attention. I especially would like to upgrade the speaker in the bass version of the Fly 3. I have the Blackstar extension speaker cab. I imagine putting better speakers in both the guitar version and the bass version would be a good start, but I'd also like to...

The Blackstar Fly 3 guitar amp is more impressive than the bass amp. My brother in-law plays wooden Native American flute, so I wanted the bass amp to jam with him at fires. It's good enough for that. The guitar amp on the other hand is actually quite impressive. I'm out jammin' with it tonight...
