Does anyone have an idea what a 2555 full stack Silver Jubilee is running these days ?

hard to say. i've seen the heads from 1700 and up. i would guess around 2500 to 3k.

That sounds about right. Mark2C, Are you asking because you are selling or looking at buying?

I have a full stack 2555 and the prices are all over the place. I have seen heads alone go for $3500,
but it seems a real detriment to add the cabs. How does one sell even a half stack, yet alone full ?

I bought my 2555 full stack in 2002 for $1K. 
Sold the B cab for $600. Kept the A cab and head.

Post it in the classified for what you need to get out of it, worse that can happen is it doesn't sell. If you're willing to break it up, it'll go fast. Wish I still had mine, sold the head for $600 in 92, if I still had it, it would be headed off to Friedman to add some wickedness....

Unless you need the money, I'd hold onto it for two reasons:
1) it's a buyer's market right now, not sellers.
2) those amps can be hard to replace.
I had a Jubilee head, sold it to blackba here on the board, missed it, finally found another - it's the '2/3rds stack' - I have the head and a pair of 2x12 cabs. I don't play through it very often, but it would be hard to replace and it's just going to be worth more money later on.
Plus it looks cool as hell!

+1 on keeping it for now. Unless you really don't see any more use for it, then I would offer it as a package, then if not sold split it up.
These are multi voltage, so you could open up the sale to Japanese and European collectors, too.

Hey Pete, do you find it falls flat, even with EMG's? Thats why I let mine go.

I'm not a fan of the stock 2x12s - into a good cab, the amp comes alive. In comparison with a JCM800 2205, I give the edge to the jube playing the same cab. Since I got the '72 SL, both amps kinda sound like shit in direct comparison.

Its hard to beat an old Marshall like a '72 Super lead. That said, I don't find my 2553 sounds flat at all. As far as the matching 212 cabs, I just replaced the back on mine with a new 5/8" plywood back, it made a nice difference. I also have WGS ET-65's in my cab, which are nice speakers. But I do prefer my home built version of the Marshall 1936 212. I switched the speakers from that cab, so it was easy to do a comparison.

I'd like to find a nice jubilee 4x12... but may end up just taking one of my rattier looking marshall cabs and retolexing it.
Those 2x12s stock just don't do the amp justice. Glad your 2553 is still rockin! I missed it enough to buy another one. Pete

I've had 4 Jubes...never paid more than 1500 for ANY of them. 2554 combo just sold on GC online for 1K....sounds just as good as one of the heads.
