JCM800 2x12
« on: October 08, 2005, 01:36:46 PM »
Hi all,

I know a guy selling a JCM800 2x12 Combo, from the 80's, one of the old ones (the amp, not the guy  :wink: )

Anyone got any thoughts on the amp itself and how it sounds, plays, reliability, and what they think would be a reasonable price?

Specifics:
Model Number: 4103 STD
Speakers; Celestion G12T-75s
Price: £300-350ish


Cheers!

get it! I tried one out (it was used, mind) whilst looking for my new amp (around this time last year actually!) and I really regret not buying that instead of getting my HRDx.. Great crunch tone  :twisted: Actually, thinkin about it, I cant remember wether it was a JCM600 or not.. oh well  :lol:

thanks man!

I'm hoping he'll let it go for £350, i don't know though. I've always learnt that building your hopes up is a bad thing, but I keep looking at info and reviews on the amp and just thinking 'give me give me give me...' :?

Yo!

I don't know if this has a master volume so i think if i get it cheap i will buy an attenuator. Can you still use something like a Hotplate with a combo?

Yes but you may need to extend/ replace the speaker cable so that the attenuator can sit on top of the combo. The hot plate looks cool in this position as it has a blue light at the front that glows when you play. I got mine done for under a tenner.

Yeah, it doesnt really need to be extended, just get a longer cable with the right ends  :D I'll be expecting some clips Willo  :lol:
