Sold: Jensen P10r 8ohm Alnico Speaker £50ppg delivered

jellybelly

Since I've just sold my Princeton this is no longer required. Well broken in, great chimney, chewy sound thats vintage Fender all over! Condition is very good with the exception of some chipping on the paintwork on the frame around the magnet. Some might describe this as 'light relicing' if they were so inclined.

Hi, which princeton did you have it in, I have been considering one for my 68 custom.

jellybelly

Yeah had it in the 68 - thought it suited it really well. Unfortunately this sold on eBay a couple of days ago, worth checking out if you get chance though!

Thanks, glad you sold it (for you not me obviously : ).  In terms of improvement over the stock did you find it sounded more like the 65 princeton?  I like the added gain of the 68 but would like a slightly more american sound, plus alnico clarity on cleans.

I tried a few - the WGS G10C was the most like a ‘65 - hard and bright with plenty of bass. The P10r has that softer alnico compression and the low end was more reigned in - it definitely had a vintage Fender vibe but perhaps not the harder blackface sound. 

All this said, the stock speaker was great especially if you planned to play cranked up - tight low end, nice highs and responsive to dynamics. Give it a chance to break in if you haven’t already!

I've just snaffled one from Ebay, its a fairly large cabinet on the princeton, did you have to remove the chassis to swap them?

No just one of the two back panels - was really quick (so much so I went back and forth more times than I should!)
