I'm wondering if the 10-inch alnicos used in the Z-Master would be offered as speakers - like the Z-10 (ceramic) speakers are.
It seems like they would be ideal for replacement of the CTS alnico speakers used the Fender Super Reverb of the early silverface era.
I would also like a pair to replace the Z-10 ceramics in my older MAZ Jr.
If Dr. Z has no plans of offering them for sale, would the Eminence 1028p (paper former) be essentially the same speaker?

I would think the Z Master speakers would be closer to the GA10-SC59 www.eminence.com/speakers/speaker-detail/?model=GA10_SC59That has the paper former and felt dust cap. I'm sure Dr Z threw a twist in the recipe as well. The only thing I wish is the Z-Master speakers had some sort of Z sticker on the magnet. I'm a sucker for stickers! But they sound fantastic!

They might send you some stickers from the Z10 or Z12 if you ask real nice.

They remind me of the alnico blue frames I had in my Vibro King. They are warmer and fatter sounding with a very nice rich top end. Much better with more character then the jensons.

DRZ .....what say you Doc? Not sure what you're asking Mark. The Z Master 10 predates the Alasondro GA 10. I had these originally built for the Galaxy 2X10 Combo years ago. They are slight tweaks of the original Blue Frame used in the first Tweed Bassman Re-issue, like Randy noted. The last batch I had built , I dropped the ball and didn't get the art work for a label in time to Eminence. Z

Plus what easyed & patrick B were wondering if these would be available for individual sale? And since you answered the sticker question, can maybe order some extra speaker stickers for those of who are concerned about silly things like that?

Well, Eminence receives it Alnico product from China. The cost of this material has risen ridiculously in the past 4 months. I have ordered a new batch of these speakers and price more then doubled from my last order. At this time I will not be offering these speakers in individual sale.
As for stickers I do have a lot of things on my plate , and stickers are not a priority , but when they are available I will happily send them to Z Master owners as my compliment.

Dang doc, that is a ridiculous cost increase, jeezus. But kudos to you on the design, it sounds great, you nailed the top end.. it’s all there, present but not fatiguing, mids are even and the bottom is tight and punchy. All that x3 in a sweet sounding cab makes for an awesome combo!

Just makes looking in the back more complete....In my opinion. I see others don't care. And thats ok too~
