I have that Agile 7 string that I just couldn't sell and someone offered me a trade of my guitar for his old cab. I agreed because I just couldn't gel with the 7 string, and really didn't have time to play it as much as I should have. I have always hated G12T-75s. It seemed like every cabinet I ever played with these speakers sounded scooped and trashy. This was in rehearsal studios. I also had the 30th Anniversary blue tolex/gold Marshall emblem cabinet with these and didn't like it either. So the fella leaves, and here I am staring at this 2X12 Marshall that I just KNOW I'm not going to get much money for, and if I keep it, I gotta swap some speakers into it. I'm broke. I can't afford speaker swaps anymore.
Begrudgingly, I whip out the Jesuscaster with the C5 and fire up my Bad Cat 50H and...WTF??? It sounds incredible. It was late so I had to shut down after a few moments. So last night I fire it up again and plug my Chibson SG with the Brobucker bridge and the tone is to die for. The exact, heavier, not quite bone-crushing but close sound I've wanted and just couldn't get from my Greenbacks or V30/G12H30 X Pattern 4X12s. These have the 1777 cones. I haven't dated them yet, but they sound so much like the G12-65s in the 1981 JCM cabinet I had and NOTHING like the ones I'd heard before. Any info on why this may be?
