which marshall stack should i go for?

[plexipaul]

the 1959SLP is my best bet at the moment unless MLP can convince me otherwise.

I own several 100 watters but the 1959SLP is by far my favorite.

I have two 100 watters but no 1959's but some day will
i had a few back in the 70s if i only knew back then
what they would be worth now............

The Marshall 100 watt SLP is the baddest boy on the block !!!!! I own one and love it, it pumps out more raw Marshall tone than you can stand, breaks up at around three on the volume, pumped through a Paul its "that tone", I like the 4/12 AX ( 100 watt , 4/24 watt green backs). superior classic tone. I use a very high end attenuator to control the beast, however check out David Bray Amps, he sells brand new modded SLPS as a great option for volume control. As always this is Just My Opinion

I would like one with G12H greenbacks like Hendrix used
Unfortunately they cost $219 a peice
the bass resonance is down to 55hz so you get that great
Chunka chunka sound out or them

The 75Hz will get you in the ballpark already. I never had any complaints on them when i did the Hendrix tribute band. To quote an englishman who (saw Jimi play back in the days) attended one of my gigs: "it`s been a long time since i`ve heard these tones, you`ve really nailed it".

Hmm The one that wont leave you bankrupt, the one they cant repossess?

I have acutaly never heard the original G12H Greenbacks
but it sounded good, most Marshalls could use just a little
more bottom, but then again the low end "Formulates" out a few
feet with the regular G12M's.

There's the new Kerry King JCM 800......I'm not a huge fan of slayer but from the review in guitar world it sounds like an awesome amp....

Hmmmm I forgot about this bad boy... its got me intrigued... must do a lil research...

 

[coldsteal2]

Its got a couple of things on it i have never seen
on a marshall, heres a quote

"Assault" & Gate." Assault" intensity controls the extent of Kerry's signature EQ boost, and Gate" is an adjustable, studio-quality, ultra-fast noise reduction unit."

I wouldn`t speak of "low end" but more of as G12Hs sounds slightly "darker" compared to G12Ms in the over all sound.
I have both types,early 70s, both 75Hz in the same cab so they both get the same signal. In my experience the difference in sound is very subtle. When focussing on the real low end there is no appreciable difference noticable.

good to know

 

[Samantha]

went to my dealer and played a bunch of marshall heads includeing hand wired heads vintage modern and jmc series but the best one i played was the kerry king signature head, i didnt care for the distortion channel at all but the clean channel was the best i have heard.

 

[coldsteal2]

That would be a Marshall 800 then

 

[Samantha]

the JCM2203 looks the go ahead

 

[coldsteal2]

Heres a great deal, same price i paid for my VM
