Re: For Marshall fans!! Look my new head a 1982 Jcm 800 2203
Thanks a lot for he compliments.
I know i'm a lucky guy:13:
I needed a 2203 because it an all different animal than the Slash.
The 800 is louder,ballsier, and has more crunch and kick, and is more natural sounding and aggressive than the Slash. Otherwise tha Jubilee is gainer, darker, sweeter, blusier if i could say it, a great head too ,very similar but differents. Maybe the Slash is more nasal but lacks a little of midhigh presence that the 800 has. They complement well each other. As Jeff H said the single channel is a really plexi on steroids sound. While the Slash is a more modern sounding head still keeping that ol' good vintage Marshall vibe.
Yes the 2203 it's in a good shape considering it's 25 years old. The Slash has 12ax7 Gt and sovtek el34g+, while the 2203 has her original 12ax7 EI and sed el34.About the year of production there is almost always a sticker inside but also the seral number helps: the last letter of the serial A=69' A=70' C=71' D=72 E=73' F=74' G=75' H=76' J=77' K=78' L=79' M=80' N=81' P=82' R=83' S=84' T=85' U=86' V=87' W=88' X=89' Y=90' Z=91' Z=92'
Hope this helps. Make me know if you have any questions or suggestions thanks.
