Thanks! I should have played more jazz-stuff for this forum of course, but I shot the video for the Blues Deluxe Facebook-group and they're less jazz orientated

I'm currently studying jazz guitar at university, so I'm primarily playing a lot of clean stuff, ie bebop solo guitar. However, alongside my course, I also enjoy playing George Benson style R&B music, and I also like the sound Ted Greene produced.

So I was wondering if there is any speaker out there that may be a good replacement for the stock speaker? I'm looking for very clean sound that doesn't break up at a high volume, tight bass and good treble but not piercing.

Thanks in advance!

The C-Rex speaker gets good reviews from all over. I put one in my Carr Rambler and have found that the break-in time is quite long. Hopefully it will continue to sound better.

New Speaker: around $100
Changing the circuit: $5 in parts

Hmmm....

I am in the process of converting my Pro Junior III to a solid wood cab with a 1x12 speaker, and I chose the following from Mojotone:

Mojotone Greyhound Speaker 12'' 8 OHM9911235
We wanted a new speaker that was in between the British Sound and the American Vintage sound so we came up with the new Greyhound Speaker. During the design process we mainly used a Blackface Twin to test so we think this speaker sounds particularly good in this type of amp. As far as tone goes, the Greyhound is smoother sounding on the top end and upper midrange than a Celestion Vintage 30 but has more punch than a Jensen C12N. It has a great rock tone (specially for mid gain to high gain amplifiers) but stays clean enough for those who don't like too much speaker break-up.

I haven't received the speaker and cabinet yet, but should have it soon. I will post my impressions after that.
