Re: WGS Veteran 30s are here!
That was a classic. Haha!
I actually am not sure how well padded it was because I was piggybacking on a friend's shipment, so she might have pulled out the pads and stuff. Nwy, it's in great shape when I opened it up, so I have no complains.
Anybody know what those rubber/felt-like, arching thingies with holes in it are?

Re: WGS Veteran 30s are here!
I had that happen when I bought 8 1976 Blackbacks (Greenbacks). dude shipping them put them all in a box with only styrofoam peanuts! Four of the speakers got punctured cones. I got reimbursed from insurance, but I would rather have all 8 of those Blackbacks.
In any case, I have heard lots of good things about the WGS stuff. Im thinking about ordering some Reapers or ET65s

+1 You won't need them in the JCM, but they're fun to stick on other things around the house.

And they're in!
Man these speakers are bright! I haven't played them dirty and at volume yet, but whoa, they're bright! And they're also a LOT louder than those re-coned G12-65s!
I got them wired in parallel.

I like how the WGS come with painted frames, whereas the more expensive Celestions come raw. I doubt I'll ever buy a Celestion again.
That's some phatty speaker wire, there, bro!

Yeah, I was looking for 16 or 18awg speaker wires, but the good ones (better brands) were 12 and 14awg only.
Here they are side by side...

Re: WGS Veteran 30s are here!
I just had a good 2 hours playing the JCM800 with the pre-amp volume dimed and using the MXR ZW OD to get it into metal territory.
The amp is a lot BRIGHTER now and a lot LOUDER. It seems to be a lot more RESPONSIVE that what I remembered my amp to be. I see a more dramatic change in character, tone when I go from my Gibson LP Studio to Washburn MG90. The Washburn had a Duncan JB in it and the amp seems to have this top end "sizzle", kinda like some fuzz on top. The LP Studio still had the stock Gibson 498/490 pups and it didn't have this sizzle, or at least not as much. This is amp is very "glam rock" in tone, but warms up a notch with a LP.
I'm going to try to put more playing hours on it next weekend, and hopefully, more volume.
Rock on!
