Description

Open Box Special!

Our open box offers have passed our 11-point inspection which means they do NOT have the following when we ship them out:

  • bent/warped rim or basket – see note below
  • wrinkled/warped/creased cone
  • coil-rub
  • non-standard incursion and excursion under electrical load
    They may have been hooked up or installed into an amp and played for testing/brief trial.
    Beyond our open box discount, we further discount depending upon the degree of cosmetic or other damage (that would also not be expected to impact speaker function) to the manufacturer box or speaker.

    These Speakers

    Inquire about volume discounts if quantity permits.  These open box speakers vary in condition, deviating from the stock photo in that the following ways:

    • OEM box
      1. cosmetic – stickers or sticker remnants -which do not cover the UPC sticker.
      2. minor structural blemishes such as dents or small punctures, where the speaker was not affected.
    • Speaker itself may show cosmetic scuffs or signs of previous installation.

     

    This Speaker

    • It  may be overstated to say that the basket is warped because there is no corresponding wrinkled/warped/creased cone or coil-rub.  However, when you lay it face down on a flat surface, the rim does not lay completely flat all the way around.  So it appears that the edge of the rim is warped or bent.  However the the inner rim where the cone attaches must be close enough because there is no coil-rub and plenty of incursion/excursion. You could try using all 8 screws to secure it to the cabinet to remedy this.  The speaker looks fine so there are no photos of it, only the stock image.

Celestion G12M-65 CREAMBACK Highlights

Celestion G12M-65 Creamback 8 Ohm 12″ Guitar Speaker Product Details

The G12M Greenback is perhaps the definitive vintage Celestion ceramic magnet guitar speaker. Developed in the mid-sixties, it was quickly adopted by players like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page, who typified the louder and more aggressive blues rock playing styles that came to characterize that era. The G12M-65 Creamback produces the familiar woody G12M tone, but handles greater power making it ideally suited for today’s amps, when a vintage tone is desired. The increased power handling brings with it low end grunt complementing the warm and vocal mid range, crunchy upper- mids and sweet, refined highs.

5/5 starts

Celestion G12M-65 Creamback

I purchased this based on the fact that this was meant to be a higher power handling version of the Greenback. What makes this great is how it sounds in a 1-12 open back Mesa cabinet. There is a little more sparkle, less Ice-pick, and a nice boost to the useful low end. Sounds similar to my M-25 Heritage Greenbacks in my TA-30. Sounds great with my Mini Rec, and Mark 5. I’ve also replaced one Vintage 30 (16 ohm) in my 2-12 Vertical Rec Slant cabinet, and so far, love it too!
