I have an old '60s Ampeg Jet, I replaced the worn out jensen with a celestion 25w greenback then tried a celestion Vintage 30. Sold them for a small loss. After reading the eminence "useage chart" I gave this speaker a try. This is what I needed from the start. Save yourself some cash if you want a great sounding speaker for some old time blues and perhaps a touch of rock.

I have a 1968 Bassman head that was made into a combo by a rather talented individual. (No not me) however the standard Fender speaker he chose didn't do much for me so I went on the prowl and tested everything from Webbers, Tone Tubbies, Jensen and Celestion to The entire line of Eminence products. After a year and a half of testing, matching and playing with everything, I found the perfect match in the Cannabis Rex. This baby really brings out the best in my 68 Bassman. Guitar lines can be dialed in from smokey and bluesy to sweet and clear and notes absolutly sizzle when the volume is cranked! As a side note, I also plugged my bass guitars in to this combo and was very impressed. This amp and speaker combo handled the lows well on my 4-string bass at "5" and below and stayed clear and articulate. Thanks Eminence, great job on this one!

After hearing a friend of mine play his Fender Blues Jr installed with an Eminance Patriot Cannabis Rex 12" speaker I was on the phone the next day and ordered one for my 15 Watt Carvin "Vintage 16" Amp". This speaker has the sound I've been trying to find for years. It has the smoothest,fatest Blues tone ever, even better than Webers!.I've heard it takes a while to break one in but mine sounded fantastic right out of the box. I usually play a Fender "Bonnie Raitt" with stock SRV pickups and no effects pedals.I tried my Les Paul with this setup and was too much break-up too soon. Single coil pickups seem to work better. Also using a slide with this speaker must heard to be believed.If you're looking for a Real Blues sound this speaker has got it!.

I bought the Rex to replace the stock speaker in my Blues Jr. It has a firm but more pronounced bottom end then the stocker. The mids/highs are clean and well defined. It's also about 3db more efficient than the stocker. I'm planning on buying a second one to go along with a Valve Jr. head. Highly recommended! :-)
