What year is this Celestion v30 from?

Someone tell me the date of this v30 from a Mesa 412 please? T4335, 30CL are the codes on the sticker from the magnet.

2001

That’s what I thought - March 30, 2001. So that makes this one of the sought-after “pre 2002 UK V30s” if I’m not wrong?

I thought they switched in the late 1990s?

NVM, Mesa didn’t

Ya, those magic 2000 - 2004 V30's that Nolly himself personally pissed on. They actually have less frequency response than an average V30. The thing some people like about them is the reduced 5 - 6k frequencies. They sound a bit smoother.

Ya know I got some of the new UK V30's that supposedly have a similar frequency response to these golden year V30's, but I still prefer a couple Chinese made V30'S I have from 2006, they sound a bit brighter and more balanced to my ears. They have a 3d like quality that I've never heard in my other speakers.
