Hey guys :) *NAD!!*

So here's the gutshot of my '72 50w. I'm sorry for the PPIMV destroyeing the picture,.. and ill just add again, it's just meanwhile ;) It's more or less like stock. I just need to find a correct turret for the V1 yellow wire.

ALSO, it's a NAD!!! I was happy this came in today with UPS.
It's a '78 2203. The amp was bought in the UK, so I had shipped to Dan Gower with the intention of making it the best sounding STOCK 2203, and to make sure that it was a great sounding amp before sending it to Denmark. It turned out that Dan was the first guy to ever open up this amp.. it was 110% stock. It even had the all the original tubes in it! The tubes sound AMAZING and is of a much higher quality that todays tubes... so obviously he'd leave them in there. He generally gave the amp a good clean out, changed caps + bias caps, changed the impedance selector to something very usable and some other stuff to make it road ready.
To be honest this is the most juicy, chewy and huge sounding JMP 2203 i'v ever played... it just sounds fantastic! No pedals needed here, all the gain i need.. and all of it is usable. I can't stop playing this thing. I run it through my WDW rig.

Look what we have here:

Well packed in a brand new Marshall box... it feels like getting an untouched NOS '78 2203

The 4x12 cab that was bought with JMP back in the '70s will arrive tomorrow :) It's a 1960A with blackbacks. It totally belongs together with the JMP. Been together for 35 years now.

Got to looking at your '68 cab - why does it have corner protectors and no slots up top for the piping?

What? :D Corner protectors, where? haha

Looked kinda like they were on there. Here's a pic of a vintage marshall cab stripped - I just didn't see the piping slots up top on your cab. Does it have them?
/quote]

oh it most definitely have piping slots and no removed corners. It didn't exist back then. The cab is as original as it can be! signed and all! In fact this is probably one of the most original Marshall cabs i'v ever seen... still factory solderings. Ofcourse the Marshall sign isn't original.. i just thought it fitted the style of the cab.
 
my 1981 JCM 800 2204 completly stock except EL34 tubes for those who cna't tell thats the one in the middle of my signature picture :lol: :LOL:
