New Fat Jimmy reproduction Greenbacks

[jellodog]

You may know that I love my American-voiced Fat Jimmy C1025 in my PRRI. I also own his C1270.

I just noticed that Mike at Fat Jimmy has got a new repro Greenback offering:

C1225GB: This is a surprisingly accurate reproduction of the famous 'Greenback' British speakers of the late 60's and early 70s. Low powered, large magnet 12" speaker with paper voice coil.

C1265GB: A higher powered version of the above 'Greenback'. This goes head to head with the current 'Creamback' and wins hands down!! Identical construction to the above 25w version with the exception of the kapton voice coil giving it higher power handling capabilities. With a 3D sound that surpasses the current production model by the 'original' British manufacturer!

Based on his other offerings, I'm betting these sound great!

Mike's other speakers are made by WGS to his own specifications. I'm assuming that he'd be taking a similar approach with these.

Warehouse makes KILLER speakers. And now a Creamback killer. :

Last time I had an email exhange with Mike he was _very_ responsive. So it's worth shooting him an email if you ever have any questions about these.

$110 is pretty fair.

I use Creambacks right now. That ad print is triggering me.

I feel this right in the 2x12s

 

[JiveTurkey]

I have historically had a thing for greenbacks without ever playing any musical style that is directly attributed to using them primarily.


how bad would having an extra 2x12 really be?

Interesting that WGS is making these, and they're 10 to 20 dollars cheaper than the similar WGS versions.

Pretty sure that WGS is not making a Creamback equivalent.

Pretty sure that WGS is not making a Creamback equivalent.

I thought that was the ET65, no?

 

[jellodog]

Incidentally, WGS also makes the speakers for Jupiter Condenser. All good stuff.

I thought that was the ET65, no?

That was in production before Creambacks existed and is based on the G12-65 Heritage used by cats like Robben Ford.

I think.

 

[KHAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!]

Pretty sure that WGS is not making a Creamback equivalent.

Pretty sure I didn't use the word equivalent.

 

[jellodog]

'K. So that would be the Green Beret (25w), and Invader 50?

Regardless, both Jupiter and Fat Jimmy have good ears and have built their own takes on top of solid WGS foundations.

Everybody wins!
