Replacing Leslie Bass Woofer.

[zernos]

Through the years, I have used many bass woofers in my Leslies. Jensen, P15LL, C15L, Utah and the new Jensen C15K (made in Italy.) For the cost, the Jensen C15K is a good sounding speaker replacement. To purchase the vintage Jensen's, the cost is very high, if you can find one that doesn't need re-coned. The Jensen C15k costs around 150.00 shipped.

A few months ago, I went in a new direction. I purchased a Weber 15A200 Bass speaker. Weber designed this speaker for the Leslie cabinets. Tonewheel General has the best price (they always do.) The cost was 206.00 plus shipping. Without hesitation, I would never consider any other brand of bass speaker. I play the organ almost every day so the speaker is broken-in by now. The bass response is excellent. If anyone who reads this is considering replacing the Bass speaker in their Leslie, I strongly recommend the Weber 15A200 speaker. Granted, what sounds good to me, might not sound the same to the next person. We all know this statement holds true for drawbar settings. Just trying to help with a replacement suggestion. Thanks

How does it sound playing bass left hand 848?

I honestly can't answer this question. I don't play bass with my left hand. Just chords.

Sorry, not that important. If you find that playing the console and the bass pedals produces a nice, rich sound, then that's the main thing. You have found something that has sounded better than any other over the years, and you are experienced, so this is good information!

Thanks for posting this.
