Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? Top

I've used a jig like this for finger joints. You'll also need a dado blade. This guy is scary to watch around a table saw. He shows how to make the jig, but good luck sequencing his youtube videos.

Ariel Joined: Aug 29, 2009 Posts: 1556 Israel	Posted on Dec 27 2011 04:11 PM Thanks Eddie, Is that EV something I can buy new, or do I have to mess with ebay? BTW, I need 8 ohm, my amp is a standard '65 Showman. Don't care for looks, looking for a mostly clean sound, warm and round, that can be preferably purchased new, for a reasonable price... Is that too much to ask Maybe start a poll? It sure can help others as well, something like - Best modern 15" for trad Surf tones. It's so subjective, I know, and depends heavily on the rest of your setup and goals, but I have no way to listen and compare. I'm kinda stuck here. Top

Yes Sonichris, I have built boats in the boatwerx...........a hell of a lot of them. ed Sorry for the thread hijack. Ed please check your PMs. I have some questions about race boat building. Eric. And now, we return to our regular thread. Last edited: Jan 03, 2012 19:26:15 Top
Ariel Joined: Aug 29, 2009 Posts: 1556 Israel	Posted on Jan 03 2012 11:41 PM Thanks for the bump, FlatRacer This gives me an excuse to ask yet again - (and I have read every thread here concerning it, still can't decide), What 15", 8ohm speaker is best for my needs? (which are:) Warm&round, not brittle or harsh, nor flabby on the bottom; Surfy but also great with OD/fuzz (mostly clean, but not super clean); weight doesn't matter; I prefer current production (JBL or EV are only second hand, and I don't want to get into that). It's your subjective opinions I'm looking for. Weber: Cali, Chicago, or Neo? Jensen Neo? Thanks Top
