Fender 75, anyone?

Post by Niclas Nilsson »

A couple of weeks ago I came across and bought a Fender 75. It’s a combo with what I assume to be a stock Fender 15" speaker (8 Ohms). The amp is not in mint condition, I guess it’s seen its fair share of clubs, but at least it looks better than the sorry specimen displayed on the Fender Field Guide at ampwares.com. But to my ear it sounds quite nice, with a smooth clean reverb.

Now, being human, and therefore on an endless quest for that which is better than what I already have, I’m looking at possible replacement speakers for it. I’m thinking of JBL or Weber as the most likely candidates. What would you do? What are you using and liking?

I’d greatly appreciate any thoughts from the forum, and not only about the 75, I’d be very interested in hearing about any experiences regarding 15" speakers that may apply to it.

Thanks, Niclas
