About the Marshall™ 1960B Salt and Pepper · G12H30
Straight Cabinet · Pre-1968 Grill · Heavy-magnet G12H30

The Marshall™ 1960B Salt and Pepper is a vintage 4×12 cabinet wearing one of Marshall's earliest grill cloth designs (used briefly in the mid-to-late 1960s before the Large Check pattern took over). This particular cab pairs the rare grill with an equally coveted speaker variant.

The "B" stands for Bottom — the straight cab built to sit on the floor, with a slant 1960A on top, the two forming the iconic Marshall stack.

Salt and Pepper grill cabinets represent the earliest era of Marshall amplification — on stage during the British Invasion and the birth of arena rock. Today, they are highly collectable.

Inside are four Celestion™ G12H30 speakers. The "H" stands for "Heavy" magnet (versus the "M" for medium magnet in the more common G12M Greenback). The heavier magnet gives the G12H30 a tighter low end, more headroom, and a more refined attack — favoured by players seeking a bigger, more controlled tone with the same vintage British character. Inside the rare Salt and Pepper frame, the heavy-magnet voice of the G12H30 tightens into focus.
