Vox Bulldog speakers?

[CapoFirstFret]

Alright guys, a guy here in town I was talking to (good buddy of mine, owns a guitar shop..his son and I play in several blues bands together)....has an old Vox Berklee cab that he had Vox 10" Bulldog speakers put in. I don't know anything about these speakers but I do know that I LOVE the tone of 10" speakers...now 12" speakers are ok, but man I love 10" so I was thinking about getting this cab and running it from the cabinet out of my Mesa/Boogie and running the 12" celestion in my combo and the 10" bulldogs in the cab, but I wanted some info on these speakers before I go doing that. Anyone know anything about them?

Re: Vox Bulldog speakers?

I know the best Bulldogs were from the mid 60's and made by Celestion. As far as 12's go, they'd be the same speakers used by the Beatles in the early 60's Vox AC-30's and similar/identical to the Celestion G12 Alnico Blue and Silver 12's. The later 60's solid state Vox amps marketed by the Thomas Organ company in the USA also have Bulldog speakers but most of those are inferior to the Celestion made speakers. I forget who made the inferior ones...Utah maybe? Don't know a thing about the 10's or who made them! Maybe someone else will chime in with some helpful info. Lew

They're probably NOT Celestions...and probably not great speakers if the amp is a Thomas Organ Vox. If it's solid state, it's probably one of those Thomas Organ Vox amps...
