Title

Vintage 1976 Marshall JMP Mk2 Master Model 100w Lead (2203) + Matching 1970s 4x12 Cabinet – Original, Made in England

Description

For sale is a vintage Marshall stack consisting of:

• 1976 Marshall Mk2 Master Model 100w Lead (2203) head – the first year of the now-iconic Master Volume JMP series.
• 1970s Marshall 4x12 cabinet, loaded with its original Celestion speakers (Made in England).

Head Details

• Year: 1976 (verified by serial number SL/A 01491 — “SL” = Super Lead, “/A” = 1976, the first year of this model).
• Made in England by Jim Marshall Products Ltd.
• Condition: All major components original (transformers, chassis, circuit board, faceplate, tolex). Honest cosmetic wear from age but very well preserved.
• Maintenance: Tubes replaced as needed; transformers and circuit board remain original. Fully functional and ready to play.
• Tone: Pure JMP 2203 sound — aggressive, raw, and powerful. This is the circuit that shaped late ’70s and early ’80s rock.

Cabinet Details

• Model: Marshall 4x12 (likely 1960A slant or 1960B straight — confirm exact model).
• Speakers: Original Celestion speakers, Made in England. (Date codes can confirm exact year/month).
• Condition: All original, normal wear for age, structurally solid.
• Sound: Classic Marshall projection — thick mids, tight lows, and smooth breakup at volume.

Why This Set Matters

This pairing represents the golden era of Marshall. The 2203 Master Volume head changed rock history, and when paired with a correct-era 4x12, you get the sound heard on countless records.

• First-year JMP Master Volume head (1976)
• Original English-built 4x12 cab with Celestions
• One-family ownership since 2001 (purchased in Flagstaff AZ in 1999)

It sounds Amazing. This is sooooo hard for me to sell.

All components are original.
