Value of a 1976 MK II 4 input

[diamondrecording]

Not sure what they're going for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's a JMP 50 by the way!

If it is stock it could be above $1500. Vintage stores sell the old Marshall's for extremely high prices but I think that is just because they like to see their store filled with equipment. Marshall amps increase in value over time because it is more of a historical piece. If you are looking to sell it you could get at least $1000 if it isn't completed hacked up. An amp with a cut out cab box for a fan and a bunch of mods and bad paint job could get under $1000. That being said if you are waiting to buy one or sell one, just remember they are going up in price. IMO 70's Marshall amps will not be affordable in 10 years from now. Think $3000+, just a prediction.

I would just keep it, even if you aren't going to play it. You would most likely regret selling it.

yeh, i just got me a 1977 combo jmp 100 watt the 4 input for 1700. more then i wanted to pay, but it was a good buy. i tryed to get 1500 or so but the guy wouldnt budge. however im glad i got it. very good amp. price really shouldnt be an obstacle. unless of course its completely outrageous. 2 things i know about mine. it sounds great, and the price will go up.

if ur going to buy it, do it. if your going to sell it...dont. please. i mean unless u really need to for financial reasons, but these things will only go up.

i acctually will prob pick myself a couple more of these if i continue to gig like i have. they are just awsome.

i bought my 75 JMP - 1987 Model - for 700 bucks about a year and a half ago. just saying...price depends on the day of the week man. people WILL pay a bunch of money for them - but you can also find them super cheap. its a toss up.

 

[wareagle]

the master or non mastered model? if i recall right, the non master model is a lot cheaper, but still for 700 that a bit of a steal!

NMV (or Non Master Volume) are actually more because they stopped making them in the 70's. Funny though because back in the day they weren't popular for the same reason they are popular now. People didn't want them because they had no volume control, people love them for that reason today because they have a open fat sound.

Marshall never stopped making the NMV 1959 100w, and 1987 50w.
The JCM800 series had them, and later they were made as SLP, RI, X, HW and other versions.
The JTM-45 is in fact an eary model 1987. So this model has been with Marshall from the start,
and has always been there.

The reissues are no where near the real deal. You are right though, they do still make reissues of the classic NMV. What I was saying is they stopped using the NMV in the 70's and decided to switch to MV full time in the modern amps. The standard is MV now.

 

[Doomhawk]

they still made the same 1959 and 1987 NMV circuit in the 80's with the 800 series amps. the JTM was built to model the 57 bassman - the 1987 is not the same amp. unless my memory is shot.

 

[rockinr0ll]

Yeah, the JTM45 and 1987 are not the same amp.

 

[janarn]

Yeah, the JTM45 and 1987 are not the same amp.

You're completly wrong. Jtm-45 had Lead model 1987, Bass model 1986,
and PA model 1985.
And as I said before, Marshall never stopped making the 1987!!!
Read your Doyle!!!

 

[rockinr0ll]

JTM45 is a 30 watt amp
1987 is a 50 watt amp

Not the same amp!

 

[janarn]

JTM45 is a 30 watt amp
1987 is a 50 watt amp

Not the same amp!

The JMT-45 model 1987 is a 30w, and a 50w amp (the JMT "reverse logo")
The JMP and JCM800 is a 50w amp.

Do your homework!!!

I'm talking about the JTM45 compared to the 1987 MODEL. They are not the same amp, look in the book. They are similar but I wouldn't considered them the same amp at all. Totally different sound.

Marshall Amps :: 2245 (JTM45)

Marshall Amps :: 1987X

The 1987 Lead model was going through an evolution.
Starting as an JTM-45, then the JTM "reverse logo", then the JMP,
then the JCM800, and when they started the JCM900 series they went
back to reissues of the 1987.
The 1987 from '68 and '72 also sound very different. They both are JMP 1987,
but they still was a part of the 1987 evolution.
The Marshall site is not a good place to find out this things.
I have two 50w Plexies from the 60's, and they sound very different.
Read Doyle's The History of Marshall, and check out Plexi Palace,
and Metro Amp forums.
It's also not a bad idea to have a look at Amp Archives or Marstran sites.

This thread has some wrong information about the Marshall model 1987.

Wrong information:

They stopped making NMV Marshalls in the 70's.

The original JTM-45 is not an amp with modelnumber 1987.

Here's some true information:

The earliest Marshall catalogues from '64/'65 use the modelnumber
1987 on their JTM-45 Lead amps.

The NMV 1987 has always been there, right from the start.

The 1987X is a RI of a '72 JMP model 1987,
and the JTM-45 RI is a RI of a '65/'66 JTM-45 model 1987.
The RI of the JTM-45 was given a new modelnumber to keep
them from each other.

Sorry about my attitude, but I don't think people that don't know
should write wrong information here.
If you don't know, ask for information, or find out from other sources.
