Nice, but the price a really shot up!

Right.

Pro Bass player who does a bunch of other stuff, as required for nearly 30 yrs.
I had a home made cab I picked up super cheap and replaced the speaker in it with this to go with a Hughes & Kettner Tubemeiester 20.

This has been used in VERY loud metal & rock situations live, a lot of recordings and it's a great speaker.

Projects well, nice full tones across the whole frequency range, you can really get pretty much anything you want from it.

I'm not trying to teach grandma to suck eggs, but for those of you who don't know -....

Bass - Get a good big gap between your amp's RMS output (NOT PEAK, that is a con-trick of a number) to what your speakers can handle, unless you are going for ragged distorted sound exclusively.

Guitar - Get as close as you can to your amp's output with your speaker. Drive the f**k out of them, use low wattage amps as much as possible. This does not apply to really clean tones however, for those follow what you do with a bass speaker.

This speaker has been used alongside 100w amps & quad cabs and trumps them because it has been matched and driven properly.

Volume- wise, on stage they are fine for small to medium sized stages (pubs to ?1000 capacity venues). After that, IEM's & good monitors will see you right.

To get the sound to a crowd on it's own it could do any Pub/Small venue without any difficulty at all.

Using a low wattage amp means you can drive your power tubes as well and then into speakers that can only just manage = great tone.

I picked this up in 2020 for £34 and now in 2023 it's going for £67!

That is a big jump and not in line with other gear, but I don't know why this is.

Amazing speaker
Patrik Vidic 26.03.2020
The sound this little green beauty can produce is mind blowing. Just 49eur? Do not be fooled by out of the box sound since these speakers need some more time to break in, but when they do, they sound amazing.

Uno speaker non per tutti
Anonymous 21.07.2016
Comprato per andare in coppia ad un celestion G12T-75 , cassa marshall 1922 , modificata
semi-open.
Cercavo uno speaker che potesse offrire il "lato Fenderiano" per sessioni più pop / classic blues.
Questo speaker , per suonare al meglio , deve essere rodato (in gergo 'Broken') in modo che la parte più vetrosa del suono venga smussata.
Lavora molto bene in coppia al celestion , poichè ricopre quelle frequenze che mancano al G12T.
La costruzione sembra solida e l'aspetto 'vintage'. La cassa ha subito parecchi spostamenti senza problemi.
Unica segnalazione , dopo un concerto all'aperto (estate) di due ore (amp MIG50 volume ore 9) il magnete era parecchio caldo (celestion quasi freddo) ma
non si presentavano problemi.

Decisamente sconsigliato per ambiti Rock (a meno di non accoppiarlo con uno speaker dal carattere diverso)
e sconsigliato in cassa chiusa oppure 'ported' : dà il meglio di se in cassa open.

Servizio Thomann come sempre spettacolare!

Sehr interessante Alternative
Werner856 28.07.2014
Weil ich die vor geraumer Zeit in meinen Kustom KG212FX eingebauten Fane Sovereign 12-200LT (grundsätzlich eine gute Wahl, kann man an anderer Stelle nachlesen) für ein anderes Projekt gut gebrauchen kann, entschloss ich mich, 2 Stk Jensen C12Q-16 als Ersatz in die Kiste einzubauen. 3 Vorteile ergaben sich daraus: Die Fanes können in ihrem neuen Einsatz zeigen, was sie können (vom Kustom wurden sie mit seinen 30W an 8 Ohm bestenfalls gekitzelt), der Kustom wurde etwas leichtgewichtiger und ich kann ihn wieder an 8 Ohm Gesamtimpedanz betreiben (dennoch bieten die Speaker genügend Leistungsreserven).

Lieferservice wie gewohnt super, der Einbau war ein Kinderspiel. Natürlich klingen neue Jensens anders wie die Fanes - ich würde sagen etwas mittenbetonter - aber insgesamt ausgewogen und weich. Um die Speaker in kürzestmöglicher Zeit einzuspielen griff ich zur Brachialmethode und traktierte sie einen ganzen Tag lang mit verschiedenen Bässen und sukzessive wurde der Klang noch weicher und merklich tiefenbetonter - insgesamt für meinen Geschmack besser, weil sich auch die Höhen im Gesamtklangbild nun klarer durchsetzen. Ich neige zur Aussage, daß sich die Jensens den Fanes ziemlich angenähert haben.
Sowohl Humbucker-Gitarren (LP, SG, ES) als auch alle Arten von Teles kommen sehr gut und differenziert 'rüber. Strats kann ich nicht beurteilen, weil ich die nicht spiele. Mit einem entsprechenden Preamp kann man auch Akustikgitarren ziemlich authentisch über den Kustom fahren - was will man noch mehr.

An der grundsätzlichen Schwäche des Kustom, dem Zerrklang, können die Jensens nichts verbessern, aber in seiner Paradedisziplin, den Cleanklängen, passen sie sehr gut zur Klangcharakteristik.

Auf alle Fälle eine gute Wahl, und ich denke, diese Bestückung wird beibehalten, bis der Kustom seinen elektronischen Geist aushaucht.

Nachsatz: Die Originalspeaker des Kustom bleiben in einer offenen 2x12 Eigenbaubox und machen mir viel Spaß an einem Orange Micro Terror - erstaunliche Paarung.
