Re: My Guitars & Amps
Lovely collection. I had the same Marshall combo for a while and it sounded great but needed to be cranked a bit too much for most of the gigs I was playing at the time. The Cornford Roadhouse I use now reminds me of my old combo but delivers the goods at more manageable levels. If I was playing bigger gigs on a regular basis that Marshall is the amp I'd like to get hold of. Apart from the little Studio 15 that was the last really good Marshall I had. I had a Jubilee combo for a while - I liked it but didn't quite bond with it for some reason.

Ahh.. ok.. you have had that strat for a long time. My 2104 ( I guess, i can nver remember the model #s for Marshall combos) was a late 70s..iirc it was a 77. Mine had different grillcloth, and smaller logo than yours...and yours would be the last year for the MV JMPs, right? What speakers came in yours?

Re: My Guitars & Amps
Yeah, '81 was the first year of JCM800s, when the Rose Morris contract expired. I think there may still have been some MV JMPs made that year but that was the transition year. I worked in a music shop that sold Marshalls. I left that job in July '81 and as far as I remember we were still selling JMPs, though they were probably old stock.
The speakers are G12-65s (this combo and my original one).

Re: My Guitars & Amps
Awesome collection, dude. I love how you have all your bases covered. Personally, I'd probably have two Teles instead of two Les Pauls but, other than that small matter of taste, I can't find a fault there. The only thing missing is a nice semi-hollow or something.
I really, really love that darker Les Paul that's sitting next to the Tele.
Congrats, man. :beerchug:
Although, all of this just begs the question...What's next?

Cheers :beerchug:
I have a great close-up of that honeyburst LP that I like to tease Hoss with, so I'll have to post that when I get home today.
What's next? Well, as you pointed out, a nice semi-hollow. And something with P-90s. And I have constant gas for a 70s LP Deluxe because I severely regret selling my old goldtop. And, as you also pointed out, another Tele wouldn't go amiss. After that, a divorce probably. :scratchch

Re: My Guitars & Amps
I like them, nice even response - they cut through but no ice picks. The open back is great for wider sound dispersal, especially playing in small pubs unmiked. Lacks a bit of bottom end but I can crank the bass on the amp, and sometimes I use the combo with the closed-back 1936 cab as an extension. Best of both worlds and it's a reasonably portable 50w 4x12 setup.

Re: My Guitars & Amps
Thanks Richard. I've never played a Cornford though I've heard great things about them - mainly from you and Don! I was considering an MK50 a while back but there didn't seem to be any dealers with stock, and not much online info or support. Did you say the company is in trouble?
I know what you mean about the Jubilee. I go hot and cold with it. It is capable of really great tones but I think it was designed with the 80s rock player in mind and I am more of a 70s rock player! It has a sound all of its own - kind of twisted Marshall. Having said that, I rehearsed with it last night and it was sounding excellent (rhythm clip mode for rhythm, switching to lead for solos). You hardly ever see the rhythm clip mode mentioned in online Jubilee discussions but I think it's one of the amp's great assets - a nice medium-gain tone. Think I'll be gigging the Jube on Saturday.

That Jube full stack is awesome! :friday:
I remembered you having the DSL and the Combo but had either forgotten about or didn't know about the Jube. Same with the Strat, I don't recall you ever talking about it.
