When I was a kid (15 years old) I built a 4 x 12 cabinet for a technology project, using G12T-75s as the speakers. I borrowed a Marshall 100W head to test it with and it worked and sounded great.
After a few days of every window in the house shaking, my parents insisted I give the borrowed head back. For the last 16 years the cab has sat unused in various bedrooms and spare rooms. It's literally never been plugged in since those first few days I had the head to power it. Following the recent effort of dragging it through another house move, I have decided to break up the cab.
I have long stopped being a daily guitar player and taking an interest in the scene, having converted to the dark side (house and techno - eek!) of music writing over a decade ago, but when I built this cab, these speakers - Celestion G12T-75 - were well respected, and used in some of the top end Marshal cabs I believe.
Is that still the case? And do you expect that people would buy these speakers second hand?
I was hoping that people on here who know more about such things would be able to advise on whether or not the fact they're over 15 years old but effectively unused makes them worth any real money or not...
I intend to keep one or possibly two for a small DIY valve combo project which I'll get to at some point, but the others I may as well get rid of.
Cheers!
