Marshall 1978 JMP 2104 FS - sold
What's Hot
Good morning all,
I have come to the decision that I am selling my Marshall 2104 1978 combo. The truth is I am happy with my amps I have from DWJ and this one is sat in my rehearsal room all the time these days.
So the good. Well it sounds incredible! If you want rock music then this is the amp. Have a look at the current JCM800 thread if you want a comprehensive take on how great these amps are. The kicker there is that even though this is the same circuit as the JCM800 it somehow doesn't sound identical, it is maybe a touch less harsh but with all the plus points.
The internals are here

@ICBM about he he thought the same. As you can see mallard is still present as are the original black backs.
So it sounds excellent, its made well and its not been messed with
The bad point
Whilst the internals have not been messed with at some point someone thought it would be a good idea to do this to the

Basically they stripped it back to the wood and changed the grill cloth for what looks like velvet. Now I was going to get it changed but my band members all said "don't do that, it looks that shit it looks cool". So you would either have to live with the look or get it recovered which really isn't a big job. Personally id do as someone has here and get it made into a separate head and cab.
Now this isn't a light amp. So I will not be posting. I am happy to drive a little to meet up though. I am in West Yorkshire.
Price wise these seem to be fetching silly money these days so I think I will be reasonable and say £700 takes it.
No trades thank you.
Kind regards
Shaun

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
