So about a year and a half ago I bought my first “real” fender .
My first impression was wow but over time I found out that I wasn’t really bonding with this beautiful old fender.
It felt really thin and shrill and I’m told “ that’s not a fender”
Me being a novice figure it’s tube related but no it was the stupid vintage 30s!
After a year tossing between cream backs , gwh “red cones” and “cannabis rex” I’ve ultimately chose cream backs.
That wasn’t the end of the search because I learned there was two kinds of cream backs !
H magnet
M magnets.
I knew I liked the green and blue backs that you find in vox and learned that they had the m magnets so I went with the 65 watt model.
I waited for an eternity for a member from another forum to help me with the installation and it was so worth it .
Btw it was only a two week wait .
At first strum after the speaker changed I was in shock ! It was so bold! Huge sounding and warm and still has some sparkle to it.
I actually had to turn the mids down and treble up ! There was that much of a difference in the mids and highend .
Even on the chair at volume 3 you can feel the low end of the old fender.
Buddy is ocd and notice a few things were messed up with the speaker harness so it got tossed and we made a new one with stuff he took with him.
