2x15 issues

[giovanni]

my bassist's 2x15 just quit on him.  its a 60's bassman unit with the original speakers.  It was sounding fine with the beta bass head he has at practice today, then after about an hour of jamming the thing just died, no sound at all.   at first i thought oh crap the head, but we plugged it into my cab and it still worked.   so i pulled the grill and back off the cab, cones are perfect, but the input jack looked a little rusty and ooooooooold.   so i soldered up a new jack i had laying around.  still no sound.   checked all the wiring it appears good.   i didn't get to test each speaker separately but it seems odd both would burn up at the same time.   is it possible that he has a broken voice coil in one and this is why i have no sound from either?

i'm kinda bummed cuz this setup sounded killer and we are going into the studio on saturday.

any suggestions?

may sound like a dumb suggestion but just to try, switch the speakers around in their positions to see if that has any effect.  maybe it's just one speaker and it's killing the other's sound.

happened to me in one of my 4x12 cabs, not all the speakers, but two were dead, so i switched the speaker to another location and noticed it kept killing the one next to it and if i put it in front of the input it killed the whole cab.  those were also old speakers, 68 sunn tranducers.

meh, it's my bassist's problem now

it's possable he was playing and one speaker was allready blown then you lost the other.  you will know when you have both speakers reconed.
