I POSTED THIS VIDEO!!!!!!! THAT'S ME!!!!!! My dad bought this for $800 and it had all handwired componets and two mercury transformers. The faceplate is indeed not original. I just traded it for a 1978 Marshall Super Bass 100w.

I really should watch that movie SpinalTap. Apparently, it's a parody insulting all the dumb-ass "musician" wannabes, especially the ones that actually think having the knob labeled 11 means or does anything. :facepalm:

One day I'm going to make an amp faceplate where the gain knob goes to 27. Why 27? Just because. I wanna see how many f***ing retarded losers look at it and go "Holy shit! You must have a lot of gain." Then maybe I'll invest in a tazer so I can use it on them.

HAHAHAHAHA That's great. Didn't the JCM900 go to 20 on the gain and the Spinal Tap versions go to infinity?

If Tap's went to infinity is was a clip from after the first movie. I always wondered if Marshall made the 900's go to 20 because of Nigel.

I want a faceplate that fits a DSL that goes to 8. People will be amazed at how loud an amp can be that's only 50 watts and only goes to 8!
