In corresponding with Stephen he had suggested that in choosing between a Tramp and a Tweed Deluxe, perhaps a Tramp with a 12" speaker would be "the best of both worlds". I am waiting to hear back from him as he is not sure if the 12" Tone Tubby Alnico speaker will actually fit in the Tramp.
It sounds like a Tramp with the 10" Jensen Alnico speaker is the way to go, unless the 12" Tone Tubby Alnico fits...
Does this sound reasonable?
I tried a 12" Eminence Red Fang in my Tramp & it fit just fine, even with it's huge/deep magnet bell installed. Granted, it was a bit tight around the speaker jacks - had to actually roll the chassis back to get the plugs in. Without the bell it might have been more roomy. In any case, it sounded freakin fantastic! I tried a number of ceramic 12" in there too with no issues at all.
It also sounds killer with a 10" Red Fang, BTW. Perhaps even better than the 12" depending on what you're looking for.
