Where are all the Greenbacks?

Well we could all use a few more of those kinda greenbacks but seems the 16 ohm version are on a ship somewhere. Sweetwater, MF, GC, Amazon...all back ordered. Had to resort to Stewmac Lord's sake! Anyway. Hope your new gear is on a shelf or a lorry and not on boat.
 
i got my 16 ohms from an old marshall cab. it was falling apart but the speakers were in good shape. the amp i use most with the g12m is a little 8w-12w super modded musicmaster bass amp. sounds GLORIOUS in a mix
 
I should have pointed-out in my previous post that even though Avatar sells them for $30 less, there is one difference. You do not get an original Celestion box because they buy them bulk by the pallet. They are boxed well for shipping though. My pair of 8ohm K100 were from Avatar on an overstock sale for $89 each a year or two ago.
 
There’s a speaker identic to the greenback, I think it’s the blackback (G12M?) because they ran out of green rings and just sold them as the latter when they’re the same speaker on the inside.
 
American Musical Supply have the 16 Ohm G12M Greenbacks in stock. :cool:


I got my 16ohm Greenbacks in 2 Peavey 112-6 cabs going on 3 years ago now. So I have my GB fix already. :cool:
 
Arrived Sunday. Installed Monday. Now's time to fire it and it's slightly older brother up. 100 watts of Uncle Jim's progeny stands ready shake 'em back and forth a few million times so we'll see what's watt. (LesStrat joke...sorry.) 2x12's chock full of toney goodness.
 
Yeah if anybody's 100 watt Marshall ever needed a good two valve neutering mod it's mine. (50 watts was good enough for Glenn and KK right?) Anyhoo...managed not to blow up one so two shouldn't be a problem as long as the cat doesn't make any unauthorized adjustments. Little bugger will sit on your phone and turn on two different options you didn't even know existed. Hope you speak Chinese

Can't you pull a pair of the tubes to make it a 50 watt?

That's what I was thinking too. Pull a pair and half the ohms. (4ohm output into 8ohm cab)
Just make sure you pull from the correct slots. On my Mesa amps you can pull either the inners or outers, but you do NOT pull the left pair or right pair.

Pretty sure that Marshall is the same. My Carvin was. You could run two different sets of tubes that were in the 6L6 family as long as your inside and outside pairs matched.
I used to run 6L6 and KT-77.
