“Awesome Company!
I researched the speaker/s type that I required & after comparing several Companies, I deduced that Modern Musician had the best deal & as I've bought gear from them previously (& been very impressed by their prices & shipping times), I called with a few questions.
Before I could get my first query out, Spiro interjected & said, "no mate, don't buy a Vintage 30... if you're after a less high-frequency response, you need a Creamback" – we chatted for another five minutes about various aspects of said Speakers & the fact that he'd done the same swap with his AC30.
As soon as I hung up I ordered a 75-watt Creamback.
A few days later I received the very well-packed Celestion & got to work – after about half an hour I'd replaced the standard Greenback with the Creamback which, I must say, was a bit of a concern as the 75watt magnet is somewhat larger than the original 25watter & I thought I'd made a mistake & wouldn't have enough room between the magnet & the tubes &/or back panel. With about 10mm to spare, everything went back together & I switched on the amp.
Not only had I connected everything correctly but the difference in tone was immediately noticeable – it was exactly how Spiro had explained & I understand why they call these speakers Creambacks – such a difference that initially it sounded like I was playing through my old Fender Blues Jr.
At the end of the day I've saved a heap of money (not deciding to sell the Vox) & the original speaker can be kept for originalities sake or sold to recoup approximately 75% of the price of the Creamback.
Couldn't be happier with the support from Spiro & the Team at Modern Musician & I will be a loyal customer going forward.
Side note: bought a 2nd-hand Chapman ML3 - very impressed with the pickups & neck - cheap Tele alt.”
