    JCM 9001960 A Cabinet Weight Difference?

    His cab is probably a later one while mine must've been around since the early 90s. I got it together with a 2203 from probably early 84 as it still has vertical Inputs. Some guy owed me some money and gave me that half stack instead. Initially I wanted to sell it. I was more of a combo guy. But...

    Thank you all very much! That's what I was guessing also. Someday we'll take a closer look at the speakers. Cheers!

    JCM 9001960 A Cabinet Weight Difference?

    Hi, all you knowledgeable people out there! Nothing urgent. Just asking out of pure curiosity. (Well, you never know if it may become important at some point...) Since 1994 I own a JCM 900 labeled 1960 a cabinet. A couple of years ago the other guitarist in my band got a (seemingly) similar...

    Gibson Les Paul 1956? Les Paul Custom 1959?

    OK, so they have already been sold. Missed to see that post. Still I think there's something wrong. If not, someone must be quite happy

    Gibson Les Paul 1956? Les Paul Custom 1959?

    The pics look good but the price? Just above 7000 Euros? A bit too good to be true....

    What OD for JCM 800, and how to a driven amp with a boost for solo

    Just came to my mind that there are "minus-" boost" pedals so you set your rhythm tone with it engaged. You switch it off you got your volume boost.

    What OD for JCM 800, and how to a driven amp with a boost for solo

    Sorry all you folks, someone probably wrote this already. Mathias, when you push the high input of an 800 you will get more distortion, but not a lot of, if any, volume increase. Although, if you can live with it, the lower you set pre-volume, the more volume boost you get. An EQ-pedal might...

    Confusing Serial Number on 2203 vertical input

    Maybe one of the last with vertical inputs as Marshall had changed to horizontal by 84.

    Confusing Serial Number on 2203 vertical input

    Hi, all you knowledgeable people. I ve had a vertical input 2203 since 1994. The serial number confuses me as it says S 01132. I couldn't find any source that could tell what year it was made and it seems like maybe somebody didn't stamp this right. Everything else points at a pre-84 2203...

    Your first guitar rig.

    Ibanez LP Custom w. bolt-on neck into my radio/cassette player in 1978. Very soon after that I bought a used Echolette Showstar and a TS 808. The Amp was great but to get the best out of it, you had to crank it up. Neighbours complained about the "noise" from 300 yards away... :scream::naughty:

    What's the deal with the JCM900?

    I played DRs on jams, really liked the rhythm channel with a BD2 in front of it. Never fiddled much with the amp's gain so I can't say anything about that. But I think there's ways to get a fine sound out of it. I 'm used to playing a 2203 and, to my ears, the 900 has the flavor at low gain...

    How Long Have You Owned A Guitar?

    For guitars I've used in public and get payed for it, it's a black 86 Squier ST62 E-Series I bought new. Still gig and record with it, but it's been refretted several times and PU's, electronics and hardware changed, due to wear and tear and other necessities. Only once had the urge for a more...
