Mint Condition. This speaker was carefully removed from a Fuchs JB-ODS Combo Amplifier.

Never played - the speaker was tested, removed and carefully stored.

The Celestion JB-85 is a signature 12-inch guitar speaker built for blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa, rated at 85 watts and 8 ohms.

The JB-85 is not sold as a standard retail stock item in regular music stores. It was originally introduced as an exclusive speaker loaded into the signature Fender Joe Bonamassa '59 Twin-Amp JB Edition and later used in his Dumble/Fuchs rig setups. 

Key Features and Specifications:

• Power Handling: 85 watts
• Impedance: 8 ohms
• Origin: Made in the UK
• Design: Custom-built to Bonamassa's specifications for high-powered, high-volume punch without losing composure.
• Loudness: Known as one of the loudest speakers Celestion has produced, making it capable of moving massive amounts of air.
• Headroom: Designed to handle high-output tube amplifiers—such as the Fender 5F8-A High-Powered Tweed Twin and Dumble Overdrive Special setups—without early speaker breakup or flubbing out on the low end.
• Response: Offers a robust, muscular midrange, clear high-end punch, and a tight bottom end that holds together even under heavy crunch or transparent overdrive settings.
