If you’re feeling generous I’d love to have a look at the cab you use for testing/reference. I’ve heard you mention it a few times in various interviews and Tone-Talk broadcasts. I wanna say you said it had been stripped and had early 90s reissue greenbacks? I don’t suppose you’d be up for posting a couple snap shots to satisfy the curiosity of a fan/customer/forum member? Thanks.
 
I think Dave told me someone offered him stupid money for that cab and he sold it.

IIRC, he got the cab from Steven Still (CSN&Y), the cab was stripped, checkerboard cloth,
and it did have some old Greenbacks in it, not sure of the age/date codes, but I think it
was fitted with the 6402 cones (out of production). It had no casters, plastic handles, the
big sound post (plexi era type late 60/early 70's). Can't remember if it still had plastic
corners or not, been a few years since I've seen it.

Maybe Dave will chime in and update/correct this for you.
 
I have a Marshall cab loaded with the 6402 greenbacks as well. They sound pretty damn awesome with my Smallbox.
 
Ive heard that cab,it sounds amazing!!!!!! bummer he got rid of it but I can imagine why.

If it’s true it’s an interesting coincidence that that is what he used to voice his amps. My favorite cab I have is loaded with the same speakers. Might explain why my Smallbox and DS sound especially good through it.
 
I still have the cab. The new speakers we are doing sound pretty much like them. Almost exactly.
 
I have a quad of 6402s in a 1970-71ish Marshall basketweave cab. I bought the cabinet years ago empty. Sounds great. Perfect match.

What made those 6402s so special? Seems like a lot of people like those. I remember Mark (Rockstah) using them with his Mod 5.
 
Damn can't wait to hear this new speakers on Friedman Cabinets.

When are they expected to hit the streets?

Very cool. Will the price of the cabinets remain the same?

Looking forward to hearing them. What power handling and impedance(s) will they have?
 
DAMN I just bought a new Friedman 2x12 (with dirty shirley outfit :cry: ) from Musik Produktiv :doh: ....

....wonder if it's worth to return it before the return period ends and wait for the new speakers to come or just to keep it....
 
Hi Dave! Do you think you will sell the new drivers by them-self so we can update are current friedman cabs? or are they only for new cabs?
 
They will be sold on our website as replacement drivers..when we get them.

Speakers are 16 ohm and 50 watts

Dave, are you going to still mix these speakers with v30's, or are you planning to do full 4x12's loaded with all new speakers?
