What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[Spaced Out Ace]

Need to verify the greenback (he bought it like that) but that label of 75 was only 88-91 from my researching.

Nice!

 

[budda]

Nice!

Greenbacks are 2010 - i couldnt see an “H” on the frame which means heritage and i think the “n” is really 0(2)



The G12T-75s are 1991. Was secretly hoping for 444 stamps on the cones but no stamp at all..

I need to find awesome cheap 412 cabs, lol.

I was looking at unloaded new Stage Craft cabs the other day. I wonder how those are.

Peavey triple x cabs or 5150 cabs. Pull the speakers and go. Also avatar, mojotone, lopoline.

Got two Marshall G12 Vintage in today. Putting them in a Mojotone British 412. Thinking of putting some T75s with them. Anyone tried this before? People tend to conflate the Marshall G12 Vintage and Celestiom Vintage 30 as the same, but they are not from my understanding.

I mean you have the speakers ya? Therefore, try it

The G12 vintage is a tweaked v30 for marshall near as i saw, but i wasnt looking up that particular speaker. Is it rated 60w?

70w, apparently. They are supposedly the "original Vintage 30 spec," thus they sound different. I'd like to get at least 200w of power handling from the Cab (my other two handle 100w with 2 25w and 2 30w speakers). For combination purposes, I'd be interested in something that is 50w or more, though they'd also have to compliment each other.

If I wire these two in series, that'd be 32ohm which is not good. I'm unsure how to wire them parallel without having two wires from the tip and two wires from the sleeve on the input jack.

I think the Marshall G12 Vintage might be why WGS has the Veteran 30 and Retro 30.

Wire in series + parallel. Iirc this is how marshall does it on the single jack cabs like the tv and vintage.

Also, dont overthink it too much re speaker combo. Everything is hypothetical til you actually run it.

I'm referring to just the two speakers for now. I'd like to try and get them wired up with two 16 ohm speakers in 8ohm total so I can see what they give me, then go from there.

808X's have been ordered!

I have a XXX cab with a V30/G12T75 X pattern. I have considered getting another cheaper cabinet like this again, or something nicer. I would like to find an oversized cab, but those aren't as common for cheap. I have a slant, so either way, I want straights.

The Avatar oversized are super hard to find, and they dont make them anymore sadly.

 

[budda]

thanks to people far less tired than I, it has been pointed out that my new cab has 100w power handling. Definitely more likely to push the GB's hard with the superlead even on 2, but a non-issue for the JTM-45.

I'm still not sure how to tell heritage from standard G12M-25 but I think it has to do with the warning on the label versus not? Maybe that'll be a tomorrow search (getting too tired to keep going now).

I don't think the Heritage have the mention of the spec on it. They are also 20w. I think they'd also be 15ohm. If they are 25w, have the mention of the spec, and are 16ohm, then they are standard Greenbacks.

Honestly even the stagecraft black jack + some used speakers even gets into the realm price wise of a used Mesa 4x12.

(I actually don’t prefer the sound of them, but I am the odd man out)

I have considered that, but Mesa cabs seem hard to come by.

The StageCraft Blackjack is basically Marshall sized. Pretty much the same that most cabs are, 30x30x14.

dig out that passport, cruise to canada for the weeken and pick up a couple. With the currency conversion you can probably get em around $600usd each. There's a few listed, inlcuding 2 straights.

808X's have been ordered!

Man, I almost bought one about two days ago. MF has them on sale. What are you using it for? (Like, I know... but a special application or something?)

 

[Crungy]

@crushingpetal I found a set of ivory ones on Reverb for 150 and I couldn't resist! I've been eyeing all kinds of 8 string EMG's, but I know I like 707's and my 708TWXR so I figure 808X's should be right up my alley.

They're going in an RGA8 to replace a set of SD Blackouts. The 8 string Blackouts are pretty decent, much better than the 7 string version imo.

That said, I really like EMG's in my 7's and wanted my 8 to have similar tones. Plus I think the white will look cool.

Nice: hard agree, the ivory set looks super cool.

Ordered a multimeter and a soldering iron to swap the PUs in my Gio for a ’59 and Pegasus.
I always wanted to learn how to solder and the Gio seems to be a good learning platform.
It has a pickguard, so I can solder outside of the guitar body.
Do you guys tin the wires before soldering them to the switch, pots etc.?
