Got a new cab!

Not here yet but it's a '72 checkerboard slant with two three 75hz G12M Greenbacks and a 55hz Greenback.

Two of the greenies have "3" on the cones which basically makes them pre rola. The other G12M is a 1777 and the 55hz is unknown.

Got the whole thing for $800 :)

The date code on the 55hz G12M is a year earlier than the others so I'm guessing that it's a pulsonic cone as well. :)

The '68 sounds fantastic but it has 55hz G12M blackbacks so it's less accurate.

I might try swapping the speaker in the cabs to see how they sound. I'm guessing the slant could use a little more bass and the slant a little less.
