MGR/JimH « Marshall JCM800 2203 100 Watt Head »
Published on 02/17/06 at 15:00I have been playing guitar for 20 years now. I teach guitar to 40+ students weekly. I have recorded/ performed/ gigged with national recording artists and currently gig local in FLA. and teach.
I like aggressive blues, old school funk, heavy groove, alt tunings, psychedelic, guitar instrumental music, brazilian, fusion, shred, egyptian and radio format, retro and RNB soul music.
I acquired this latest JCM800 2203 through an ad I placed looking for this particualr amp on the Marshall forum and the Gear Page. I paid $1,350 and the price is rising for an 81' Mint with Daly caps and Dagnell/ Drake trannies and choke. I have been playing these amps almost exclusively for 20 years only deviating to Bogner and Lee Jackson along the way. Just got a 1959HW plexi to thats on the way that im gonna run alongside this rig. Ill never sell this amp EVER!
I love everything about it. It is a simple one channel circuit. Perfect balance of Frequencies. Great Damping and sag. Perfect picking attack tone. Inspirational tone from this amp which everyone is always asking about. My personal favorite tone from any amp in existence from Diezels to Bogners to Fenders to Marshalls and on and on. This is the one!
NOTHING!!!!!!
It is built like a tank. You know the old addage they dont build um like they used to. It s true. The reissue is nice but this is the REAL DEAL !
If you are looking for a FIRST MArshall to buy definitely take a look at this one. It is forgiving to your play (ALthough mine needs none, LOL:>) And takes to pedals like Rocky Balboa does to a prize fight. The most inspirationa lsound ever from one amp and its all here! Get an 81 to 84' nothing post 84' and your safe!
