2x12 rectifier V30's or black shadow?

[electricvision]

I want to buy someone's 2x12 rectifier but on the pictures he sent me, the speakers are Celestion Vintage GH12... and not black shadows... is this normal? did he change the V30s? here's the pic.

if anyone as a clue, thanks!

thanks! but shouldn't they be Black Shadows instead? Or Mesa sells them with these models loaded?

Mesa doesn't relabel Vintage 30s.

Mesa doesn't really label the speakers 'Black Shadows' much anymore to my knowledge. Those speakers in the cab you are asking about are completely stock and from the factory that way.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys! Helps a lot!
By the way, I know this has kind of been discussed many times, but I have an EVM12L (black shadow) remaining from my mark IV combo. I love it's tone, and really think of loading it in the recto cab. I know the V30s are 16ohms, so I thought about picking an 8ohm C90 for instance to load with the EV. What do you guys think? Also how should I wire the 2x 8ohm speakers and should I use the 8ohm or 4ohm speaker jack? Yeah so many questions
