i have never heard of it, so for now I am dubious

SoupKitchen

Yeah, it's f'real. Marshall made them in 1981 according to the Doyle book. They were expensive (twice the cost of a 100W head) and they weren't that popular, so they only made like 100 units or so. I think it's kind of weird that he's only running four power tubes. Probably for cost more than anything, what's the point of attenuating down to 200ish watts? I don't have a good feeling about the mods, though. The bass equivalent ran 8xKT88, so for you loud clean pedal amp fans, that's the one to find.

Only if it comes with a forklift.

since its hacked up i wouldnt bother with it

If I was going to spend that much money on an amp I'd just have it made to spec by someone like Dunny, here, so I know it hasn't been all hacked up and abused in the 30+ years it was around before it got to me.

A mate is selling the bass one, not the VBA400, the one with brutally large iron.

I don't want the thing, I was just browsing the bay looking for random JCM 800 info.

I guess I could just ask y'all. Please chime in on this deal:

Yep, yep, yep. I'd hit it in a heartbeat.

Seller responded, it's a 2204 which we all kinda knew, but he didn't know that until I made him go look which makes me wonder if he'd even know. Then again he's owned it since '93 so either he had it done himself, or probs not ever eh.

mutantcolors

Serial indicates it's a 1982. Real fucking deal. How do I feel about that mod though?

VOLVO)))

Get it, if it sounds good, it is good.

if its not hacked up heavy then its easy to undo the shit so long as no one drilled out holes in it, that is fuckin annoying

VOLVO)))

It's probably modded like Doug Aldritch has his shit modded. There's obviously a hole drilled for the extra knob.

Just go play it, if it sounds like shit, tell 'em to piss off and leave.

If it sounds good, pay the man. Make sure to work the fuck out of that mod knob, and make sure it's usable all over.

EDIT:He adds an extra gain tube and an effects loop along with all the stock marshall features. Mike Morin has a really good reputation, as do his mods.

I'm thinking he should offer us stoners a 50% discount. Ya know? Just saying.

Discö Rice

I don't think he "should" offer anyone a discount. People want what he's building and are willing to pay for it. Buy one of the mass produced amps he's cloning if you can't afford a boutique amp. Nothing shameful about that. Might not be hand wired, or have your name embossed on the knobs, or input jacks made of Tasmanian wolf vaginas and freeze-dried unicorn tears, but as long as it works, music will happen.

Guess my joke was too vague for some.

Discö Rice

More than anything, I just wanted to type out "made of Tasmanian wolf vaginas". Don't mind me. It's been a long day.
