| Hey Forum: I just bought a Musicman with the idea of using it for both my Sho Bud Pro 1 and Tele. I'm thinking about replacing the stock speakers with neo speakers to save some weight. Any suggestions? |

I've heard good things about the Travis Toy from Eminence, and I'm well pleased with the Telonics 12 in my Milkman. I'd be tempted to get one of each.

| Thanks--those are some spendy speakers, huh? Wonder if there's anything more reasonable? |

If you Google 8 Ohm 12 inch neodymium speakers, just about the cheapest you find are $130, and they're Celestions, which will probably break up early.

I think Mike Perlowin put Telonics in his Music Man; you might ask him.

Ben is correct. I also replaced the tubed and caps and had it re-biased. The amp sounds like a million bucks.
But it's still weighs twice as much as my Quilter. It's a great amp for somebody who is younger and stronger. Not so great for a 70 year old geezer.

| Ken, the problem with the Jensens is the Musicman is a 130 watt amp and the Jensens are only rated for 100. Maybe I'll look into the Telonics. Thanks, all! |

| For a two 212 amp that is 1/2 of 135 watts per speaker. |
