Says the man who's had a set of blues!
Greenbacks and G12H30s are variations on a theme. Also some of the old H30s had a cloth surround and 55Hz cone which gives you more thump. The regular line Celestion has a 75Hz cone just like a greenback.
BTW why are you gettin rid of the Z best?

Celestion greenbacks, or the Eminence clone, the Red Coat Pvt Jack would work nice. The Eminence spkr has the advantage of being 50 watts, as opposed to the gb's 25.

I found a matching Z28 on TGP I'd love to fanagle both of them if I could sell MY Z! LOL

If your talking about the Clapton 'Beano Tone'? Alnico Blues.

if you want to get close, then you have a choice of several current production Celestions
if you want to NAIL the tone, you might consider contacting Jim @ Scumback. His speakers aren't cheap, but he's an expert on early Celestions.

Well...Clapton used a JTM-45 during his stint with the BB's and his amp was made during the time when they werw switching from Blues to Greenbacks so thats a crap shoot...with Peter Green played in the BB's he used a JTM-45 head with a 4x12 loaded with Greenbacks...I would say that Greenbacks are a sure bet!
