Thanks for the kind words guys! Just for reference, I ran across an old photo of where I was, just before I cut back to a smaller rig years ago. I would A/B/Y between the two heads. Stock amp on the Avatar cab set to a slight grit w/ a semi-clean tone. The modded head was on the 4x12...
Man!!! Beautiful! One just like it hung on a wall of my local music shop for years in the 70s. No one could afford it then. I think it was like 350.00. lol A fortune when I was 16 yrs old. I ended up with a Wine Custom at another store because they would let me make payments. I bagged a...
I've played in rock cover bands since the age of 15. In 1977 I bought my 1st JMP 50-watt and 1960A Cab ...new. Ego and gigs got bigger and a few years later I bought a second used matching 1977 Marshall JMP and cab running them both on stage in different configurations. . In the 90's, I put...
Such a coincidence! Yesterday, I pulled one of my '77 JMP's out of storage for some re-amping and your post came up in my newsfeed. Yes, I bought mine new when they came out! I've used mine for decades without issue. I did re-tube frequently. About 18 yrs ago I had one modded by FJA Mods...
That's odd. I bought my Marshall JMP 50watt head new in 1977 from Reliable Music, Charlotte, NC for 666.99. It was easy to remember for obvious reasons. I still have it. I'm not sure those prices are legit. If Marshall issued that list, I would imagine they would have used their logo font...
Congrats on the new amp! Options are always nice. At least that is my excuse for having a room full of cabs. lol So get it all!!!! Be sure to pick up some hearing aids though while you are out. 100watts...ouch. You gettin' on dem' big stages! :hbang:
OK, Just me. I've been playing long enough to have acquired a multitude of amazing amps including 2 '77 JMPs, one stock, and one with a John Sykes mod by FJA mods. You got to consider that your cabs and speakers will make up so much of your sound also. And if you are going to mic it, what...
I've got two '77 JMP Lead heads. One stock and one modded. I got Jerry at FJA Mods several years ago, to put in the 80's Mod+. Also a lead boost pedal input with a boost volume, push/pull gain boost, a mid-sweep knob on the back of the amp along with a depth knob also on the back. This gave...
I've been using that JB pickup in my '85 Les Paul Standard since I bought it new. I've covered the bands you've mentioned with no problem with harshness. I use two '77 JMP Marshall's (stock) and if I ever needed a little gain boost I stomp the Tube Screamer, now replaced by a COT-50. I do...
