1974 Marshall JMP 50 Valve Guitar Amplifier

Marshall JMP 50 all valve guitar amplifier

Its the Lead and Bass version is is becoming highly sought after. Its a great sounding vintage classic Marshall  amplifier, and at the moment, is a great investment at a realistic price.

This vintage Marshall amplifier has 2 channels, a ‘lead’ channel which gives shimmering lead tones to screaming leads similar to the ‘Model 1987’, and a ‘bass’ channel with it deep, punchy bass notes similar to the ‘Model 1986’. It also has a ‘Presence’ control to add that extra sparkle to your sound. It has four inputs and the channels are bridgable, resulting in Marshall's famous saturated plexi sound when turned up. Just simply Marshall heaven.

It has the original Bulgin type mains connector (and cable) There are two holes with rubber bungs on one side of the back panel which don't do anything and aren’t connected to anything on the inside and I have no idea why they are there.

Cosmetically this head is in great condition. There are a few nicks in the tolex but its free of tears and there are no extensive sections of wear, have a look at the photos. The piping is unbroken and the small logo is correct and in good condition. The metal front is in great condition but someone has scratched the word 'PRE' above the lead channel volume knob. It's very lightly etched and could possibly be touched-up by someone clever.

There doesn’t seem to be any changes and all the circuitry, as far as I can tell, looks to be all original to the amp. The transformers are all correct and original. This is a great sounding head, with plenty of those classic Marshall tones on tap.

Please have a good look at the photos and remember to ask all questions before bidding. I'd prefer collection, but I am happy to work with a courier, but the buyer must be aware that this could be expensive as this is a heavy piece of kit.
