About Freaking Time!

Re: About Freaking Time!

I remember way back when (in 80s when they first came out), me 'n' my buds saw one at the local non-guitar-center store and tried one out - we moved on to the standard 800s and used metal panels/plexis. We did like the shiny chrome control panel, though.

One problem was that the Jubilee's weren't bulky in the mids, so mating it with the Jubilee 412's that were loaded with G75T's didn't help. They sound much better into a 412 with V30's and H30's. It looks like they realized this and went with V30's this time.

That does seem to be a big part of the issue with jubes, they were designed around the Marshall/Celestions Vintage speaker, the forerunner of the V30, but then someone at Marshall decided to load the cabs with t75s and make the vintages an additional cost premium option.
I know there are alot of people out there like me, who have wanted one for years but can't afford the prices on them, so $1900 isn't bad, though if I'm honest with myself I'll probably still get the Ceriatone version since the also build 2550s and I do prefer 50w or less amps

I'm sure that's part of why my 2555 sounds so great. Part of the time I use it with a '78 straight cab loaded with G12Hs, and the rest of the time it's a Ear Candy Buzzbomb loaded with Emi Wizards.

I don't understand why Marshall just doesn't offer their own hot rodded 800... Single channel, souped up 800... Friedman and everyone else is doing it.

If you ask them, they'll tell you that the JVM line offers that and a lot more. We all know that's a crock of you - know - what. I'm totally with you on this.
