recommend dimensions for a 1x12 closed cab

Think about baseball, Les! Think about baseball...

(hopefully we didn't get his heart rate up too much).

I'm sorry, but Les just died of boredom thinking about baseball.

I, Lesteban, am posting this on his behalf.

His wife asked me to think of an epitaph, and all I could come up with was, "In his mind, he was a guitar player. But he should have stuck with the accordion."

His wife thought it should be more like, "He was a big doofus, but the kids tolerated him because they had no other father."

Anyway, the headstone will read,

LSchefman
Beloved father and would-be guitar player. His wife kinda tolerated him.
He never enjoyed baseball.
Probably spent too much time on the PRS Forum.

Lollers -- your "artistic license" with your own birthday made me think that maybe the 85/15 pickups are really a reference to pickups from 1885. I'm going to start this rumour.

Hey, next time Paul Reed Smith himself does a periscope (he did one toda...earlier), someone ask him if the 85/15 and the 58/15 pickups are the same thing. He already said he liked the idea of an SE version of a Paul's Guitar.

Oh, and then suggest a core 7-string and/or a limited run of the Holcomb 7-string.

Actually, 85/15s refer to 1685. They were inspired by Stradivarius' Sabonari guitar from 1679 (note the sound hole pickup...oh, you can't see the pickup? must be concealed under the rosette). PRS got the date wrong, but who's gonna hold that against him? I once owned this guitar back in the 18th century, but traded it for a Guarneri amplifier.

And that's no artistic license, my friend. Les really was 784 years old.

He's already gone on record saying they're the same thing, except for the pickup covers, in an article in the English mag Guitarist.

No. I don't play metal.
 
I was going to post a picture of the viagra ad woman I was talking about, but don't want to get Les' blood pressure up, or cause him a 4 hour.. well never mind that.

Looks like I better not post it yet. For the rest of you, google Kelly King. OMG is she sexy in that ad! holy crap!!!

Nah, my blood pressure's fine. I googled her, she is a gorgeous woman!

About 740 years too young for old Les, though.

No worries about the 4 hour anything. I'd be passed out after 4 minutes.

First of all -- awesome, thanks for the period info and the correction.

Secondly -- thanks for that, I hadn't yet found confirmation, that's all I really wanted.

Lastly -- they're not just for metal. I don't play metal. There's a whole gypsy jazz tradition based around 7-string guitars. 7-string guitars are sometimes called Russian guitars, too, and have been around for decades. I'd especially like an archtop like the recent PS I've been drooling over in 7-string. Now admittedly, I'm not a jazz player, but that's the closest thing to describe what I'm shooting for with my music. Check out what this guy does with his:

Lol you guys are so funny!
Hey I just got a ported 1x12 with a classic ev12l and it sounds like a 2x12.
I think it's somthing you could consider.
I also have a 2X12 loaded with same speaker, we'll and two 4x12 cabs with Ev12Ls as well. They really do double in sound! And in weight actually, they are so freaking heavy .
But I do say the sound is just godly especially when pushed.
Any how sry please continue!
 
"artistic license".
I'm, more accurately, prone to "autistic license". :biggrin: This should not be a big surprise.

Did we we ever see the results of the speaker cab design questions?

i ruptured a spinal disc reading that! But with the right amp, those EVs are amazing. And in conjunction with a brighter speaker, the 1x12 EV makes it sound HUGE! That may yet be my next cab.

I love the EVs going back to the ones they put in the early Boogie amps, Mr. Boogie.

Those are the ones I know, too. I have two sitting in boxes looking for a place to play. You used to be able to find M/B unloaded Thiele 1x12s all over CL. It's been a while since I looked.
 
I have a set in a Emperor 2x cedar cab and it just sound huge, but that cab alone it heavy.
Iv been collecting ev speakers for about two years. Mostly old ev12Ls and old sro speakers. I finally got my hands on some old "coffee can" sro and they sound so good. I know santana was a big user of old sro into a messa into prs. That's a very clear and dynamic combination. I can never pass up an old ev12l, Just the fact one speaker can do so much.
