Offered a 74 Marshall Superbass 100watt for 900 GOT IT PICS!

[EXPcustom]

This is supposedly a all original 100watt 1974 Marshall Superbass. I attached a pic of the back and it supposed to have original transformers. Non master Plexi style.

I dont know much about older Marshall so I need to know should I buy it or pass?

I am supposed to go pick it up in the next few hours...

 

[J.B.]

$900 I'd be all of that.

DO IT I would want to peek inside though

 

[EXPcustom]

Am leaving now to pick it up.

He will let me try it out. Even if I could look inside I would not know what to look for.

 

[JackBootedThug]

hit it.

 

[Digital Jams]

That is a good price in today's market, that is reissue pricing.

 

[EXPcustom]

Got it!

Just got home with it so give me a little time to post pics but this one even had the back cover.

 

[jonny toetags]

If you're keen on getting the amp close to AJ specs. Personally I like the stock super bass.

 

[MARK1970]

That is a really good price. I always come across deals like that when I have no funds. Congrats if you decide to get it.

 

[EXPcustom]

I added a pic in the OP.

 

[JTyson]

what do you think?

Its a 1959 late 70s with jj el34s and chinese preamp tubes. It is super lead spec w/ 100k feedback on the 4 ohm tap it has a .68 cap for the presence and a .68 for v2 also the caps out of v1 are both .022s. The amp is biased to 25ma and he jumps the channels with a cable. Dave

This is very cool to know.

This thing is badass but I need a Hotplate because I am on good terms with my neighbors still. So I have not had a chance to give it the full hi-gain work out...

That's not hi gain .... that is power amp distortion. Both have there place. For me the English crunch sound is home.

Congratulations on getting one of the great amps.

It will be Hi Gain when I run it with my VH4.

Also do you know if I can use a stereo effect pedal with two outs to run both heads at once?

 

[stephen sawall]

Yes you can. Just try to find one that does not color the sound to much. When I do not want to bring the whole GCX rack I just use a pedal with stereo outs.
