If that's a 1978 JMP 100, then I'm the Duchess of York.

That was damn good. Singer almost sounds the like the real deal, too.

Sounds like one to me. Has that "pinchy" midrange grind.

I can assure you, that is a 1978 JMP 100. As LLL said, it has that punchy midrange grind.

Thank you. I had to mic the top 4x12 with my Behringer C-1U microphone placed 10ft away, damn that thing could push air.

Your clips are getting better so well done. Very 70s sounding. Is that your band on the rhythm section? If you've got a setup where you can use that Behringer mic, if you can score a good dynamic mic (an SM57 at the least) you will find it indispensable.

Now, is this a 1959 or a 2203? I'm thinking 2203. And what speakers? If it's the matching cabs (you say top cab, so I figure the proper full stack) then it's G12M Blackbacks (or maybe G12H's), which were brighter than the equivalent Greenbacks.
Plus by the late '70s JMPs were getting pretty bright.

well, it don't sound a lot like my grail '78 2203, but of course i don't have a real '71 Strat like OP. You need G12H'30's or G12-65's for the late 70's JMP's, or it juss ain't the real sound. I have the old G1265's myself.;

I'm inclined to not believe gear claims from Nathan without proof/visual verification of authenticity. Not because I'm mean, but because he's lied about gear before.
That being said, he deserves credit. The clip is a huge improvement over what he was posting months ago (still needs improvement - but that's not a knock on the improvements already made), and the playing is good. The gear used has nothing to do with any of that.

This clip does sound like the amp was placed at the other end of the room from the mic and the backing track sounds like it was played back through speakers and recorded. There's also not a lot of bass in the mix. It's audible, but barely. I still doubt his claim of a real 1978 JMP, but the recordings are getting better. The one he recorded through Garageband a few weeks ago sounded superb.

Yes, they were the brighter sounding speakers in the top 4x12, I had to place the amp in such a way where the mic's diaphragm could capture its sound, since I have the famed low volume problem. I got the backing track off youtube, and the neck pickup in my reworked Strat sounds like an octavia for some reason in the higher registers. The speakers in both the top and bottom 4x12s were G12M's

Although I'd have to see a picture to truly believe Nathan (sorry buddy, too many times...) it very well could be. Keep in mind what he's micing it with etc.
Playing was good man!

Sounds pretty good. I could get my Marshall JCM900 to sound like that, if I had the bass and mid rolled way back and put it in a corner against a wall where there was heavy wall reflection on the mic, and used an SM57 or really cheap AT mic though a solid state mic pre. Guitar is too loud. Singer sounds good. Shouldn't put fake clapping on recordings, though. It ruins the vibe, IMHO

I want to believe him. I really do. I said so when he thought he got an Am Std Fender a couple months ago. I maybe even though that when he thought he was getting that 71 Fender. You can't keep crying wolf though.
