Hemp material guitar speakers?

I've seen advertisements and aviable for sale- both Eminence and Weber guitar speakers, made out of hemp.

Being a long-time "pot head", this is intriguing.

Anyone tried these?

I have had a pair of Cannabis Rex speakers for a few years now and they are smooth, clear, and LOUD. I love them.
 
Re: Hemp material guitar speakers?

^^ okay :)

I have an Blackstar HT-20mkII combo, 1x12. With "designed speaker"...

If i get the cash, I'd like to change the speaker to a higher quality one- preferably alnico magnet, hemp material,

:)
 
Re: Hemp material guitar speakers?

Hemp was used as a fiber for rope, paper, cloth, etc., for millennia (50,000 years ago!)

“In 1937, the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed in the United States, levying a tax on anyone who dealt commercially in cannabis, hemp, or marijuana. The passing of the Act to destroy the U.S. hemp industry has been disputed to involve businessmen Andrew Mellon, Randolph Hearst and the Du Pont family.”

This was to push people to use synthetic fibers from DuPont and wood pulp paper from Hearst.

So that’s why we don’t use lots of hemp products today.

It’s always about money.

Ford manufactured a car out of hemp and resin if my memory serves me right.

^^ yes!!! Heard that story. They even hit it with a sharp axe, and it didn't made a dent.

I think the hemp plant is God's gift to humanity . \m/
 
Re: Hemp material guitar speakers?

My choice now, is either a new 1x12" extension cab (with another "specially designed" speaker"- that sounds OK- though not brilliant)-

Or buy an alnico, doped Weber with hemp cone-

Or some pedals, spare strings-

Because soon, I'll be a poor man. For 5 months or so.

just wanted the best tone , before my money's gone.
 
Re: Hemp material guitar speakers?

The state of Georgia was settled by Europeans because they knew they could make a living growing hemp for ship rope.

Hemp still grows wild near the coast, but I don't if any commercial outfits exist these days that would contribute to your speakers.
 
Re: Hemp material guitar speakers?

Tone is everything. (apart from knowing, my speaker is made by smokeable material) ... "smokin' tone" ;)

I also prefer alnico magnet speakers... Weber can give me it all.. for 200USD.

Eminence Cannabis Rex.
 
Re: Hemp material guitar speakers?

^^ what about the Weber hemp speakers?

They also come with alnico magnets, and various "doping"- different wattages, and so on...

Also, if your driving along in the south or midwest and you see an Hemp farm -don't try smoking it unless you want a bad headache. Hemp for industrial purposes will take you out.. :)

Eminence has some great sounding speakers for not a lot of money.
I’m putting a pair in my Marshall Code100 combo. The stock speakers aren’t that great.

Re: Hemp material guitar speakers?

Cannabis Rex speakers are awesome. That's my only experience with hemp cones though.
 
Re: Hemp material guitar speakers?

Nah, it won't get you high -just a headache -it's called "industrial" because its licensed to be grown in the US for industrial applications like fabric, oil etc etc..

I take this back -it will certainly get you high at some point, but by that point you will feel so ****ty from other effects it wouldn't be enjoyable.
