50th anniversary Nevermind The Bollocks JCM800

[Securb]

This is wrong on so many levels. First off, they are hideous. During the Nevermind The Bollocks days, Steve Jones used a Fender Twin and later a Music Man combo. When I saw him in the 90s he was using a JCM 800. These amps have nothing to do with that album or era.

 

[Snake Aces]

As a fan of the Pistols, I don't dig these at all

 

[misterwhizzy]

Awful.

Real punks are not gonna spend that kind of $$. Did you check the date on that press release?

Seems like it was announced the past couple of days. The amp is only $4100

No joke

I can absolutely dig garish looking gear. But that thing is about as punk as... well, the Sex Pistols, come to think of it.

 

[Chistopher]

Selling out is punk now, ask RATM

Well, that is a fair point.

Besides hideous. Maybe Im old but I remember when $500 bought you a 2203 and 1960a used. $4100 no thanks.

 

[uOpt]

Only slightly worse than the usual endorsement bollocks.

those days are way gone

 

[Sam SG]

Yea the internet Holy Grail shit ruiened that.
I remember about 2001 my buddy got his 2204/1960a for $500. Year or so later I got a 2210 for $300 and brand new 1960ax for $689 in the box shipped to my door and a Laney 4x12 for $100 other freind got his 2203 for $400.
Hell I paid $725 for my old SL-X 50W head new.
Then the web said All this" best amp ever" " rock gods" thing now they are off the chart.
To be honest....they are OK but not what they are made out to be.

'the great rock n roll swindle'

 

[GuitarStv]

Hah. I like the colour scheme. Pink tolex with yellow front? Yes please! Other than being overpriced, they look super cool. Wouldn't expect it to sound like the Sex Pistols . . . but why would you? The Sex Pistols weren't popular because they sounded good.

Listen to NTB again, the multitracking Steve Jones did was amazing, especially for a person who had never been in a studio before. It is a well-engineered album, especially when compared to other albums from the same period.

 

[Aceman]

just no

so many ways no

 

[GuitarStv]

I really want to tolex my amp and cab in pink now.

 

[uOpt]

Pink is way better than this.

And didn't Marshall already do pink? I think so.
