Up for sale is my Marshall 2x12 JCM800 combo.
I purchased this from B2D about 15 months ago. He was the second owner, I'm the third, and hopefully another forum brother can be the fourth.
Notes on the amp (some of them straight from the fingers of Brendan):
The amp was originally an "American" JCM800, the export model that came with 6550's. I had the amp's bias section rebuilt to accept EL34s. These amps do not have bias pots and require the addition and subtraction of resistors in the bias section to bias the amp. This was done in mid-'03, almost a year after i bought the amp.
3 12AX7's in the pre-amp section, 2 EL34's for power.
Stock Rola-Celestion G12 65 speakers.
Vertical inputs (low, high gain).
Drake transformers.
I'm selling the amp for a couple reasons.
1. I've taken a liking to my ampeg cabinet, and now exclusively use that 4x10. 12's just don't do it for me anymore.
2. I'll be making a major move across the country within a year, and I want to consolodate my gear. Therefore I'd much rather have a head than a combo.
3. I've decided that I want an amp with independent clean and distorted channels. What's more is I want this amp to be an Egnater, or something designed by him.
I'm looking to get $650 for the amp. This includes shipping within the continental United States.
If you've got a multi-channel head you think I might be interested in, let me know because i'm up for trades. However, I'm really looking for an Egnater TOL50 or a Randall RM50, so I may not be up for anything else (but please don't hesitate to offer. I could be persuaded into something different).
Now some pictures with a couple additional notes:
Front
The little silver cap on the presence knob jumped off sometime ago. The little pointer still makes it easy to set the control.
The original nut on the low gain input wouldn't stay on, so i replaced it with a Sovtek nut that has stayed on without any trouble. I still have the original nut if you would prefer it.
Back
Speakers
Notes on the modifications
Drakes!
Please feel free to ask any questions about the amp, make me an offer, request more pics, etc.
Thanks!
