The Marshall™ 1960B Salt and Pepper is a vintage 4×12 cabinet wearing one of Marshall's earliest grill cloth designs. The "Salt and Pepper" pattern was used briefly in the mid-to-late 1960s before the more familiar Large Check pattern took over.
Cabinets carrying the Salt and Pepper grill are highly collectable today — they represent the earliest era of Marshall amplification, on stage during the formative years of rock music. Original specimens command serious money in vintage gear circles.
The "B" in the model name stands for Bottom — this is the straight cab built to sit on the floor, with a slant "A" cab on top forming the iconic Marshall stack.
Inside are four Celestion™ "ROLA" G12M25 Blackback speakers. ROLA-era 1970s Celestions are considered the most coveted vintage drivers, and the Blackback variant offers a slightly tighter low end and more focused midrange than the better-known Greenback. Inside an early-Marshall Salt and Pepper frame, the steady voice of the ROLA Blackback settles into place.
