I mean in a sense too if your after vintage..... and you have the money......


Just get Scumbacks..... vs actual vintage......



Scumbacks are probably better too and more consistent quality wise vs anything made in the 60s and that goes with anything most manufacturers make nowadays vs crap back then.



Don't take my word for it......

The regular old Chinese reissues sound great to me...

What I advise anyone who is starting now, and wants the vintage greenback tone, without spending a lot of money, is to get a quality 4x12 and load them with Scumbacks. I really like some of the new greenbacks too, especially the Heritage 20w, the EVH(same as the 20w), the 30w... but I like the Scumbacks even more.
The Scumbacks do sound closer to my favorite 60's Greenbacks than new greenbacks do, and are way more consistent than the new Greenbacks and the old cabs and speakers that survived the last 60 years of use and or abuse.
Now, if you come across one of the old original cabs that sounds magical, no other cabinet/speaker combo will beat it. I was lucky enough to come across(not to mention that hunting for gear was most of what I did my entire life) a few magical ones that are pretty much impossible to beat tone wise.
One of them, is still unbeatable since 2003, and it's a 20w 75hz "slant" cab. Best sounding cabinet I've ever heard.
So yes, if you have the money and time to do it, go hunt for yours. If you want to save yourself the hassle, get a god cab and load it with Scumbacks and you'll be as close as you can get to the real deal.

Out of all the GB variants I've played, 70'a blackbacks are my favorite next to Scumback's BM75 version. They are VERY close in sound. Super woody and midrangey. Love it. Not a fan of the regular M75's however BUT the PVC version sounds similar to the 6402. I have an early 90's BX cab loaded with the 6402's and its good mix of old school and modern sound depending on what amp you use. Only problem is you have to crank the speakers for them to sound good otherwise they are bland with no character where the Chinese or current UK versions sound good at lower volumes.

As for the rest, the EVH labeled GB's and current UK GB's are fantastic and should scratch your itch. The only thing I noticed with Chinese is that brand new they are very trebly but they soften up over time. UK's are smooth out of the box.

Fully agree; 200%.
And I'd say it again: speakers & related cab usually are the most single important component of a rig, meaning having the bigger impact on overall tone & feel. We often read "tone follows the neck", when talking guitar sound / assembly; tone follows the speakers & cab even more, IMHO.
