John_P Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I mainly gig with my GK so the marshall hasn't been out of the house for a long time. It's an early 80's jcm800 bass series. I've just had a tech check it over in case I started gigging it again and it needed any work but I'm debating parting with it. Any ideas on the value? I can't see them going up in price like some old marshalls but I might be wrong there. I think they are very cool but I suspect the majority of people have moved over to class D tiny amps these days.

T-Bay Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I bought a nice 250w Marshall valve combo for £50 last year, the guy was hardly inundated with offers. I think that was cheap but they don't seem to make much money. Some cabs are for sale ASKING a lot of cash but I haven't seen any sell at those prices. I suppose you can always ask a decent price and keep it if it doesn't sell but I would just keep it if it were me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGBass Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 These amps don't show up for sale that often and as they are getting on a bit now, value is probably quite condition dependant. The last few I saw for sale on line were advertised between £400-£800. The vertically stacked input knob versions are I believe more saleable. I also have one and use it occasionally. It's a great sounding amp, and also works well with my modern lightweight cabs. I'm hanging on to mine and I suspect there are a good few other players with an old superbass tucked away with no intention of parting with it soon.
