Probably attenuated a bit for a drop-tuned guitar. Might be OK with a bass player in the band.

If you really want to thumpity-thump with a guitar, maybe look at the EV15" speaker and the similar cabinet design for it.

Hey Nuke,

I was definately considering that route at first. And while its not out of the question, I admit, I'm a tad bit concerned about loosing any high end sparkle n chime that a 12" may allot over a 15" It may not be an issue but, theres no way from here I can tell. I'm sure that would be great for those lower D flats and C's. Even though this baritone is a 28.625 scale initially make for low A's and B's, I don't ever expect or desire to use it down that low. Thats why I had to wonder if the 12" Thiele stood a chance in hell of giving a good go to those lower notes. Most of the time, the guitar will be tuned around D, with the low E and A tuned down as low as C, with a capo on the 3rd, 5th or 7th fret. Yeah, I made an odd duck out of it. But, thats where I find it plays and sounds the best.


Thanks. Keeping this all in mind.
Best,
