If everyone chips in a little and gets me this...

[Ascension]

Is that even a good Marshall?

Oh yes those are absolutely wicked amps! The JCM 900 Dual Reverbs were kinda lame but the MK III Dual Master Volume and and the hotrodded Dual Master SLX amps are just wicked tone machines. Straight up rock and metal monsters no reverb no clean channels just pure TONE! One of my all time favorite Marshalls and have owned several of those amps over the years.

To be clear

- JCM 900 = Hard No
- JCM900 SL-X = Hell Yes!

(Along with the 2555 Silver Jubilee, and any of a number of 5150/6505's - at least for me)

This is actually a great Idea . . .

The forumfundme purchase.

Mincer you should make a sticky for this but I'm next in line for a bass combo...
don't worry my aspirations are much lower than Ace's

I'll throw in $10 for Ace's forum forumfundme purchase.

After sobering up a bit, Ace comes down where he always does. A bit to playful, and a bit too harsh, for my personal taste. But, he's one of the reasons I keep logging in.

[Aceman]

Aceman obviously doesn't want it enough, at this point. I may snag it for myself.

I have only ever been fanboy about one piece of gear ever. I don't actually have a bunch of KISS Krap laying around, surprisingly.

Thus the go-fund-me approach. I don't want it $1000 bad. If I did, I'd go get one.

I saw a local Craigslist listing of a Mesa Stiletto head for short money. I might just look into it.

It is bad@$$...

All the Marshall you could ever want, in a Mesa
+ Silicon/Tube rectifier for a more / less tight sound
+ Bold Spongy switch for the sag if you want it
+ two great cleans and an awesome JCM800 crunch
+ A clone of the 800 crunch, plus tight gain (souped up Marshall) and Fluid, Much more Boogie sounding high gain
Two simple rows of control=s like a Marshall - Channel vol/Presence/B/M/T/Gain
50 or 100 watts
Built like a Tank!

John 5 and Dave Navarro get some great sounds out of the 900 Dual Reverbs, I had a 50W that I really liked too, I definitely wouldn't call them lame.

[Aceman]

Dave Navarro , I definitely wouldn't call them lame.

I definitely WOULD call him lame.

And as for John 5, well, of course. He's playing a Tele!

Just when I think you can't get anymore ridiculous

Navarro is a poser of the highest order.

[Securb]

Navarro is a poser of the highest order.

Janes Addiction - one of the best if not the best band of the 90s
The Red Hot Chili Peppers - one of the most iconic bands ever
Deconstruction - Alt superband of all superbands.
The Panic Channel - the best band you have never hear of.
NIN - Enough said

[JB_From_Hell]

Navarro is a poser of the highest order.

By poseur, do you mean skilled guitarist and songwriter in a legendary band?

(guess I should’ve read Bruce’s post first)
