What do you think about Celestion g12k 85?

[jwojtysiak]

I'm getting rid of some Vintage 30's from an Orange cab and I have a chance to trade them for some Celestion g12k 85's. I already have 2 WGS Veteran 30's that are going in.

So it would be 2 Celestion g12k 85 and 2 WGS Veteran 30's.

I will be using an Orange or120, playing heavier, doomy music.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks.

I have them in a Peavey MS412 cab. They are kind of scooped. They sound good, but I like a strong midrange, so they are not really my favorites. Maybe the Veterans will balance them out, I dunno. They can handle 85 watts apiece, so they have that going for them. And good low end. But not vintage sounding, on their own.

IMO. I don't have golden ears, so YMMV.

Why are you getting rid of the Vintage 30's? Also, that doesn't seem like a fair trade.

I'm not a fan of the Vintage 30's at all. That mid spike kills me.

I know The V30's are worth more. I want to get a pair of WGS ET65's to pair with the Veterans, but I need to get rid of the V30's first.

I have them on CL locally for cheap if anyone is interested. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/msg/4102529169.html

You can find Peavey MS412 cabs for 150 bucks, and some of them will have those Celestions (some don't have Celestions). Find a Peavey cab, rearrange half the speakers and make a full stack.
