I just picked up a vintage Hiwatt cab, but it's loaded with modern 75watt Celestions. Ideally I would have some mid-70s purple-back Fanes to drop in it, but they don't grow on trees... and neither does the money to pick up a quad of them right now.

So, what's your favourite Fane-alike, or replacement?

Here's the cab, a 1975 SE4123 that was stripped and stained green...

Don't know the first thing about speakers but man that cab is too fuckin sexy. Like all jokes aside I am having a raging boner now

Haha thanks, man! I got it with the intention of recovering it and getting it as close back to "stock" as possible, but I gotta be honest... the green is growing on me!

someone molested the fuck out of this, and now you get to bask in the glory of the cumshame.

As an owner of a pair of AXA12's, a Medusa 30, a one of a kind modern Fane manufactured Crescendo prototype, and a busted Studio 12L I'd say jump on a quad of the new F70's and call it a day.

The AXA12's are generally uber expensive and it could take time to put together a quad, though sometimes one pops up for a good price. The Medusas just seem to have all disappeared (30, 100, & 150), and the same with the Studio 12L's. The Ascensions are new, and not terribly expensive.

I like the FC12 from Weber. I put a ceramic one in my Verellen and it's really convincing and somewhat affordable if the Fane sound you like is the Crescendo sound.

Eminence Tonker is supposed to be a fane if im not mistaken?
I remember seeing that cab on philly CL awhile ago, then saw a dude from direct effect selling it. Rumor has it it belonged to the flaming lips...

Relative to my interests...



I don't suppose WGS builds anything similar??

Yeah, I got it from Philly (actually bought it in September but hadn't been able to coordinate picking it up until recently)... the guy I bought it off of name-dropped the FL connection, not that I care either way.

I'll check into the Tonker, thanks!

I've seen people toss around putting ET65s in their Hiwatt cabs, that's something I was hoping someone here had experience with...

Weber Thames ceramics! They kick humongous ass!
