For sale is my Celestion Blue speaker. 15 Watts, 8 Ohm. As new condition. Has been played for a couple of hours to break it in but very little use otherwise. Sound absolutely fantastic. I was running it through a Hame 1x12 cabinet which is also for sale (see my other auctions). Great combination. Some more info:
Celestion Blue
The world’s first dedicated guitar loudspeaker and a part of musical
history. Back in the 1950s, Celestion witnessed the emergence of a new
breed of musician – the electric guitarist – and responded to their
needs for a rugged, reliable loudspeaker by modifying the G12 radio
speaker. The unique tonal character of the Celestion Blue, combined
with the valve amps of the time, helped to define the electric guitar
as we know it today.
Variations of the Blue were actually
released in several different liveries, including chrome, red and
silver. Used by many classic amplifier manufacturers of the time, it
was the speaker’s adoption by Vox for their AC30 that ensured the
Blue’s place in history.
The Blue has a bright, lively character
with a carefully controlled bottom end and shimmering highs which
remains popular and distinctive to this day. Loaded into a single 12"
or 2 x 12" cabinet, this legendary loudspeaker suits a wide range of
playing styles.
