New cab day

[dcburn]

Drove an hour and a half for this cab.
Replaced grill cloth and logo.
Actually, the retired gentleman had the original cloth hanging in his old band practice rehearsal area.
Pretty beat up with a hand painted wizard standing on a mountain of skulls. Pretty fucking metal!
He wouldn’t let me have it.

Hung out with the old fella for an hour, he had some great stories…

Awesome!!!

nice, i have a randall cab with those speakers, the internet hates them but i think they are plenty decent

The biggest tragedy here is that it appears this cabinet formerly housed the awesome 55 hz G12-80 speakers. This is definitely the equivalent of discovering a hidden penis on a hot date.

Well I guess I’d rather find these speakers than someone’s penis.

True. May this quad of four twelve inchers give you immense pleasure

I was more pleased after I carried it in and got to set it down!

I didn’t think $350 was a bad purchase.

So was looking up these speakers, looks like they came in early JCM800 cabs (1984’ish)? Maybe 1985?
The old fella told me the cab had the original G12-80 speakers. I just took him at his word.

Take it back if possible. G12M-70s are one of the worst Celestions ever while those particular 80s are one of the best

Oh brother.
Now I feel like shit.

Sorry man

Sorry man

No worries.
Even what I read about the 80’s, I thought I may replace them.
I honestly thought $350 for the cab was good?

with those speakers plus the drive id say thats about going rate.

 

[dcburn]

Anything in particular to clean the tolex?
Or is a little Simple Green on a rag sufficient/safe for the tolex?

 

[Telesavales]

Nice!

Spent the weekend playing thru the cab.
With a Metro JTM45 and these speakers, not sure how much I like them.
A reverb pedal really helped.
I think the looseness of the JTM may not be the greatest match with these speakers?

I've listened to enough Tone Talks with Friedman, was looking at the "blues rock" speaker quad at GC.
Two greenbacks and two vintage 30's.
Seeing as the speakers in the cab aren't original anyways...
