12 inch speakers

[WhoJamFan]

i'm looking for the best match of two 12 inch speakers to go with a 1975 Febder Bassman. Something very efficient with the 100 watts the Bassman puts out.
Suggestions?

Hey Mike, are you looking for lightweight Neo drivers or does that not matter? Check these out as possibilities.

Something to consider, do you need a 8 Ohm or 4 Ohm load for the amp? If the former, then you will need to get 16 Ohm drivers to run in parallel to end up with an 8 Ohm load for the amp.

I was trying to imagine you as a bassist! Good luck to your bassist friend, there are a ton of options in 4-10 cabinets; he will find a lot of cabs that will work well with that Bassman head.

Actually Jeff, I love playing bass and will forever regret having to sell my COY 2006 Amber Fireglo 4003 with a toaster in the neck. Still have my white PBass and Ep-3 with Rotosound black tape strings.
Nobody lets me play bass-waaah-they just want me on guitar.
Got to sub in for a friend of mines band for 3 gigs when there bassplayer got incarcerated and they had a few dates already booked.

Cool, I never knew of you as a bassist. Nice to hear that you, too are versatile on both guitar and bass, as I am. It is a shame to read (primarily on TB) about bassists, or guitarists, who actually shun the other instrument; I just don't get that.

I post on TB. I don't really "shun" guitar, which I refer to as a six-string short scale piccolo bass, in fact, I am now trying to learn how to play one, but those skinny strings hurt my fingertips (not as bad as it used to be) and making those chords does a number on my 63 year old arthritic wrists. Therefore, I prefer bass, which I also don't play too well.

I dont shun guitars, just guitarists

I play both. Bass far better than guitar. I am a bassist who plays a little guitar, not a guitar player who can play a little on the bass. And there is a difference.

I'm sure that any bassist that heard me play would immediately know that I'm primarily a guitar player. I just don't think like a bassist yet.

It is definitely a different mindset. There are a lot of good practice tips, many in this forum, on the internet that will help train your brain.
