    Hey gang, I have a chance to by a Mid '70's era 1960B w/ G12M Blackback speakers from a friend of mine and need help as to what it's worth. He said the speakers are date coded as 11/11/78 and one is 12/5/77.(that seems a little odd) The cab itself is ok and looks as would be expected for a...

    Anyone using G12H-75 Creambacks ?

    Haven't used these personally but there is a good YouTube video by Pete Thorn. Evidently he is using these speakers in his CAA 2x12 cabinets that are matched to his newly redesigned CAA PT-100. The video is from the roll out at a Suhr party. Pete sure seemed to like them and they sounded awesome.

    Thoughts on WGS Reaper speaker.... how do they sound?

    Hey Gang, I have a Carvin VS412 cab and have a Greenback/Green Beret on top and 2 WGS ET65's on the bottom. Sounds great but think the 65's are dulling the GB's and was thinking of swapping the 65's for Reapers. How do the Reapers sound and do you think will mix well with the GB's? Thanks for...

    Anyone seen G12-75's like this before?

    Marshall Lead 100 Mosfet

    Hey Gang, I found a Marshall Lead 100 Mosfet at a really great price and wanted to hear some thoughts on this amp. I played it and thought the tone was VERY good and tube like.
