I love mine too. I rarely eat meat, usually on Mediterranean diet.I have a great cardiologist. He has urged me to go vegetarian. I am not quite there yet...
But full vegetarian is difficult for me too.

Out here in CA, especially for those that lived in SoCal, the usual trinity of specialists for us old anglo dudes is ortho, cardio & derm.Can’t put stress on the heart cath lab incision.
Gotta listen to them!Today members of the medical profession informed me I’m done moving amps and equipment around for a while. Let alone studio furniture.
Thanks! I just got home, and feel pretty good! I'll rest up for a few days and get back to what I call normalcy pretty soon!Out here in CA, especially for those that lived in SoCal, the usual trinity of specialists for us old anglo dudes is ortho, cardio & derm.
And speaking of SoCal, I'm getting Andrew Paul's old Santana Yellow Stripped 58 that had an intermediary stop in Palm Springs for a chunk of the last year; I'll guess that its MODCAT has some overlap with your PS. Your comments about your stripper had a not insignificant influence on picking that model for my first Core.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and return to the studio to enjoy the 4x10 & other toys!
Safe and sane Mr. Les! Hope you are well soon!! Great that you are back at home, best place for healing!!!Thanks! I just got home, and feel pretty good! I'll rest up for a few days and get back to what I call normalcy pretty soon!
One thing that was also great was interacting here with everyone even though I was stuck elsewhere. It's good for what ails ya.Safe and sane Mr. Les! Hope you are well soon!! Great that you are back at home, best place for healing!!!
I think everyone would be well served with a heart analysis in their 30s or 40s for a baseline. The single days of pizza dinners caught up with me. So I wish I would have gone Mediterranean earlier.

Ha! Same here!Great. All I need is another cab! Thanks a lot, Les!
I've always liked the P10Rs from the early days.My favorite 10's are the original Jensen P10R's from the 50's. That's what was in most 50's tweed Bassman amps.
Very lively speaker and not really a bass speaker at all. It's a guitar speaker.
My favorite replacement for that speaker is the Weber PR10T 10" alnico. "T" for twang!
I think Ted's son now makes them at Weber VST.
The Italian made Jensen P10R isn't bad but it's not a favorite of mine. Jeff Beck used them for a while.

I don't know how long they used them, but some of the '60s brown panel Concert-Amps floated my boat, and they were 4x10s; unfortunately, I don't remember whether they used Jensens, Utahs, or whatever else Fender was installing at the time. I did a few sessions at a friend's studio and he had a dark brown tolex one I was quite taken by.
These 10" Creambacks are very different in frequency balance, but equally wonderful in their own way.
The Italian Jensen Blackbird alnico 12" speakers are fantastic with the right amp. They're different from the old stuff they put in Fenders, but sound great in their own way. The right amp is crucial, though. Mine didn't work well with all my amps, just the Mesas.
It's cool that you know so much gear history!The best sounds came from Jensens, IMO.
Either P10R or P10Q. Bigger voice coil in the P10Q. Not as fast and lively as the P10R but snappier and cleaner.
Jensen C10N's are cool too but they're fuller and warmer. Not as fast, bright and lively. They handle more power and are more like the C12N in the original Pro Reverb.
CTS made the speakers for 60's blackface Super Reverbs. Too much treble for me. Loud, clean and a bit too sharp.
Turned up they always hurt my ears. Great for Robert Cray or Buddy Guy tones tho.
Utahs were the worst although a lot of guys used them because that's what Fender CBS put in the amps.
They were basically junk, but Utah did make some 1/2 way decent car stereo speakers in the 70's.
It's cool that you know so much gear history!
I was oblivious of what speakers came in any of my amps until the '90s, when I kinda got into the gear more because I'd put together a studio for the broadcast work I was doing.
I never even bothered to look to see what was in there! Which, I know, is a bit weird, but when I was young they were just "speakers", just "tubes", etc. I was a babe in the woods.
Even today, I know a lot more about synths, recording gear, samplers, mics, consoles and tape machines than about guitar gear. I suppose it's because I still think of my main instrument as keys.
I remember those amps well - my dream as a kid was to have a Vox Continental organ with a Super Beatle amp, which was a worthy gear combination!I have some old Alnico G12 Celestion from a 60's Super Beatle. Great speakers!

Guitars were an afterthought at the time. But when I finally had enough money from gigs to get a good organ, the Vox was already passe, and I got a Hammond. A beast, and I had one of the smaller ones!
Elvis Costello's band had one later in the late '70s (?). It was a sound, and it worked for the time. The Farfisa was worse. Question Mark and the Mysterious used one of those, as did Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs. I started out with a Hohner combo organ that actually sounded like a decent organ, but I lusted after the Vox.They were kind of awful organs, but what did we know? Even the Animals had one and they were good!
