Re: Well....I Just Bought A Marshall JVM410H Head
JEEZ!!! First Shogun, now you. I've been wanting one of these ever since I tried it out at GC several months ago. I was just drooling over it online this morning, with my wife watching. I think she got a little jealous.
So…how is it, John???

I don't know. I just bought it off of Ebay. I let you know in a week or so though. Now I reckon I gotta buy me a Marshall 4x12 with Vintage 30's. Actually, I'll probably carry the head around and try it through different cabinets.

You're sh¡tting me! The one I was looking at was on eBay. Actually, I was looking at two of them. One was at $1,300 with a BIN of $1,450, IIRC. It was brand new, with all the parts and boxes, plus a few extras like a cover, new tubes, and some other doodads.

Re: Well....I Just Bought A Marshall JVM410H Head
That was another one. I did get it for $1300 though. It started at $1200. Shipping was $65. I didn't want to pay more than $1300. So I bid $1235. I beat some dude by like $8 or something. I've been watching the prices on them for awhile now. About the average price I think I've seen them going for is $1300-$1400 plus shipping. I think I did alright. I wish I would have been paying attention earlier today. Someone sold an entire JVM half stack for $1600 with free shipping.

Re: Well....I Just Bought A Marshall JVM410H Head
Cool. You should sell one of the L6's and the Peavey halfstack, then buy a 1960AV.
That way, you can recoup some of the cost, and you'll have a sweet minty JVM halfstack.

welcome to the club man. i'm sure you'll enjoy it. to be quite honest, i feel like i paid the price of one of those expensive botique amps even though i didn't spend that much. it really is a great sounding amp, and if you're used to a dsl or tsl, you're definitely going to love this amp. congratulations man. post a clip when you can.

Re: Well....I Just Bought A Marshall JVM410H Head
Thanks bb...What cabinet are you running through? I wonder how it's going to sound through my 5150 cabinet. I have a feeling I'll be buying another cabinet before too long.

Wow Jolly, congrats. I still need to play through a Marshall (never have).

Re: Well....I Just Bought A Marshall JVM410H Head
oh man any decent cabinet will do. right now i have a brand new marshall 1/2 cab with 2X12 speakers. it's not the vintage one that costs about $500, but the cheap one that's around $350. i've tried several cabs with this.
b-52 4x12
ampeg
mesa recto 4x12
marshall 4x12 vintage
marshall 2x12 vintage
genz-benz 2x12
i must say that the sound was best with the mesa and genz-benz cabs, and second best with the b52 4x12.
the genz-benz cab was very impressive and it looks cool as hell. it's got the bass ports like the b52 cab. if you want a really good cab at an affordable price, i'd really look into that genz-benz cab. i'm suprised more people aren't raving about it. i thought it sounded killer.
now to my own 2x12. i won't change it because i think it sounds really good. i don't hear enough of a difference between it and the vintage speakers to care. if i do change, i'm definitely going with teh genz-benz. as far as the 5150, i think it will sound fine. i'm not an amp expert, but i imagine it might sound something like the b52 without the bass ports. at least go try it with that genz-benz cab and see if i'm right. i tell you it's worth it.

Re: Well....I Just Bought A Marshall JVM410H Head
i don't know what it is, and i'm certainly no expert in speakers, but i compared this directly with the 1960 vintage cab and i liked it better. i don't know if it's the punchier low end or what, but i really liked it. it does have the kind of smoothness that the vintage cab had too though. similar in a way, but filling in the blanks somehow. check it out if you can. good luck and i'm looking forward to hearing some clips of your jvm. man i love that sound.

here are some reviews. it's got a pretty ****ed good rating. i must say that i can't really agree with the more negative reviews. my experience was much more in line with the positive reviews. one guy said piercing highs, ha! that's crazy. that thing has smooth and even highs. his amp must have sucked or his treble knob was broke or something.

Sort of, he was the first major dude to use them in the studio and on stage during WS era. But I think him being the guitar god and stuff he actually got 4X12 instead of common 2X12.

Re: Well....I Just Bought A Marshall JVM410H Head
I was just thinkin as I was sittin here drinkin.........I'm sooooooooooo gonna rock with this. I think one of my favorite points of the amp is going to be it allowing me to use the DI for recording. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!
and of course it's awesomeness as well.
