My BM has black labeled Utahs. Haven’t been able to place the year… 64/5 maybe?
Yes my 66 BM has utahs.
I’m pretty sure Utah speakers were also used in Bandmasters beginning in ’65. Anyone out there have a bandmaster cabinet with original Blue Label Utah speakers? I’m trying to figure out the source of all the Blue label 12′ Utah speakers from the 60’s.
