Celestion Heritage Series T1511 Blackback G12m 55hz

[Humbucking]

Mine were in the two 68 Marshall cabs I have.

How do you like the Scumbacks? Do you have the low watt or 65 watt versions? The 65 watt is what I was looking at.

I have the low wattage. I like them a lot. Until now, I think they were the only one offering a 55hz greenback style speaker.

Did you get the 014 cone model?

I have 2 68s on the top row of my 68 straight cab. 2 69 1221s on the bottom.

I also have a 1977 slant with BB T1511s. Unreal aggressive tone. I didn't get the BB thing(had 2 H30, 1 M25 cab) until I bought this one.
T1511s are my fave GB.

Nice! Why did you go with the 1511s on the top and the 1221s on the bottom? I was thinking about doing that, if I were to mix the 2 in the same cab. Was wondering what your reason was instead of the 1221s on top.

Did you get the 014 cone model?

No, I did the standard M55 not the M55PVC.

Were they always a standard model? Not that I looked around back then, just thought they were a pre rola thing that eventually ran its course and was replaced with something else.

Yeah, they were just the least popular of the big 4. They survived well into the 70's, I think have a pair of blackback M55's from maybe 76?

Also for anyone curious, they compare pretty favourably with the earlier, Pulsonic (014) cones - but the those old babies tend to win every shootout without too much trouble.
