Marshall 1987 Silver Jubilee 2555 100W Head with Footswitch & Matching 2551A/2551B Full Stack Comprising of 1969 G12H Pre‑Rola X‑Pattern Top Cab and G12H T1217 Lead Quad Bottom Cab

Up for sale is a true “holy grail” Silver Jubilee rig for serious players and collectors alike: an original 1987 Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 100‑watt head (with original factory footswitch) paired with the matching 2551A (angled) and 2551B (straight) 4x12 cabinets. In perfect working order!

The head and both cabs are period‑correct Silver Jubilee pieces. The 2551A cabinet is loaded in an X‑pattern with late‑1969 Celestion G12H Pre‑Rola/Transitional Pulsonic speakers (a mix of 75Hz lead cones T1460 G12H Heavy-Magnet Quad, dated 11 Sep 1969 ,and 55Hz bass cones T1885 G12H Heavy-Magnet Quad, dated 24 Oct 1969), while the 2551B cabinet is loaded with a matched quad of vintage Celestion G12H T1217 75Hz lead‑cone speakers dated 13 Oct 1972.

The result is a full stack that blends the deep, woody low end and multi‑dimensional feel of 55Hz Pulsonic bass cones in the top cab with the tight, punchy, 75Hz lead character of the T1217 quad in the bottom cab. It delivers classic Jubilee articulation with huge, complex low end that stays controlled at stage volume.
