Glad to hear the amp is your hands now bubs42. But I'm a bit bummed that Kenny sold it. I still remember the day he came to shop to buy it, he had his mother with him.

Z In the 2017 Facebook post he spoke about you bringing him amps to try and coming by and buying this one. He was relocating in 2017 and I guess moved a bunch of gear. The picture that was in his post had this head sitting on a brown box with a Z (Maybe sticker) on the box. It looked like an old shipping box. I did not get the box with the amp. If it means anything, it looks like it has been used a good bit. Corner wear, tolex wear, well loved.

Howdy,
Congrats, bubs42. My only Z amp is a Ghia and it's fantastic with a Weber 30 watt AlNiCo Silver Bell (It's also great with a Celestion blue).

I've been running it into my 1x12 Shorty loaded with a Red Fang 12" Ceramic, sounds great. When the cab comes in, I have about 4 or 5 speakers here to try out with it. I also don't know what's in the cab, so that may be a happy surprise.

Ghia with a RF is a killer gig combo. Congrats bubs! The cab came loaded with a G12H30, I though that was pretty darn good and it had been a long time since i had a 12gh30 Anni in anything. Then I decided to pull it and tried my old TT Ceramic 40/40, a new TT Ceramic 40/40, and last but not least the RF12 Ceramic. I bought two of these that were on Reverb, one I got really cheap and the other I paid a fair price for. I love that speaker and it works very well in this cab. The RF12C is has the character of an alnico but quicker with more punch. Digging it so far, i'm off to give that cab a good cleaning now.

These Ghia's really kill me, they really make me lust for a V1 Mazerati. Just for the extra girth and headroom, but I know that its just lust. LOL

Images not with matching or almost matching cab. LOL
Can't decided on a speaker, they all sound pretty darn good with this cab.
G12H30 Anni RF12 Ceramic CV65 Tone Tubby 40/40
Still thinking of snagging a used Private Jack I tried one with the Blonde Ghia and it sounded great, but sold it with an outgoing cab.

I recently bought a second 19x19 Z Cab, this time with a Greenback. I'm not a fan of the single Greenback, but man is this one amazing with the Carmen Ghia. I made a ported back for the first one, just to close the gap a big and get more projection forward. I have since removed it, because I've started to favor the sound without it. I'm starting to like it more than my "Shorty" Cab. I thought i'd miss the 10/12 combination, but i've been having such a blast with the Ghia and these little cabs.
