MARSHALL JCM 800 Bass Series head For Sale

[IBA]

I'm selling this amp since I don't use it anymore (im a guitarist and bought it for studio work).

It sounds great and its in excellent shape. Year 1982, Active EQ, semi-parametric mids and slope control for low end tightness. Hi and Lo inputs for active or passive bass guitars.

I'm based in North London. £650.

If you have any questions please send me a message.

Cheers

[size=3]Hi

I used to have 1 of these, its a pretty decent amp the mid and mid sweep are the most important controls if I remember correctly.

I had a line out added to mine.

Have a bump on me.

You may be a little ambitious in your price, I sold one of these with the matching 4x12 bass cab for 700 a year or two ago and it had just had a full service too.

Great amps though, and especially fantastic for guitar - though you can't get it over about 1 on the volume knob with a guitar without killing small animals! Similar vibe to a Marshall Major. Does that Lemmy-type clangy, dirty sound really well for bass.

I see what you mean Le Chat Noir. I guess that subconsciously I dont wanna let it go

I'm just feeling guilty of having too many amps but to be honest I like this one too much. I actually used it again last week to mix some bass tracks along with a DI sound in a rock context, and it's cool how you can keep that velvey sound with amazing control with its EQ. You just focus it on the exact spot you want to in the mix while keeping that valve character... To be honest I dont know what to do since I also have a superlead a 2203 and lots other non marshall great amps. I'm stuck I guess. Personally I do think the amp is worth that money. Its very unique and priceless for studio work. Thanks for your comment.

i could be late but . . . . . . . keep it!!!!! i use one of these babies and damn, wish i had more just for being low end beasts. I believe the phrase is: "they don't make them like that anymore" but deffinately a keeper, worth somewhat more selling later on too, 30 years old next year? ;-)
