Very nice ;)

That would be one of the last NMV super basses.

Veryclean wow, even the knobs and numbers look new lol. makes me want to redo mine :)
 
WOW, one of the cleanest ever :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: That is a prime specimen - Dibbs :D
 
MAn I dont know if some of you will not believe me...........I dont think I could mod that amp due to it being so damn clean!!!

Dan will treat her right though :thumbsup:
 
looks awesome man!

what's the difference between the Super Bass and a normal JMP tone wise?
 
What a beauty!!! I could not mod that for the life of me, it's just so clean.

Congrats Darren !
Go Dan Go :rock:
You're in good hands, Dan will do an awesome job on your amp :thumbsup:
Cheers,
Mike
 
Let the chopping begin :lol: :LOL: That thing is too nice to NOT max it out :rock: :rock:
 
Congrats Darren, it is an awesome amp! Without a doubt one of the cleanest JMP's i have seen so far :)

Looking forward to getting to work on this one, got one other Cali Mod to finish for a customer first and then i'll start on yours :rock:
 
:inlove:

Man all these nice JMP's popping up everywhere and here I am saving up for an AxeFx Ultra. :doh:
 
Thanks very much for all the replies guys!! :thumbsup:

it's certainly a great looking amp even though I've not seen it in person yet..I had It sent straight to dan's place!!

I tried out the Cali again from a very good friend of mine ian...and I was just blown away with the feel and the tone!!
I've had a lot of high end amps over the time and at the end of the day you can't beat a damn good Marshall every time!!

Any of you guys that have not played one of mike or dan's creations do so asap!!


Awesome stuff!!

The superbass circuit is a shared cathode circuit and is pretty much how the first superleads were, the first superleads and superbass amps were virtually the same circuit except the superlead had a bright cap on the volume pot and the superbass didnt...
as marshalls evolved the superleads became brighter and gainier and changed to a split cathode circuit and the superbass stayed the same as the original plexi circuit , superbasses sound killer for guitar
 
My Marshall guy down the street has a 68' Superbass, it's the loudest Marshall i've ever played. :rock:

My 67 is THE loudest Marshall I have ever heard. It was pushing 560 on the plates before I changed to a different tap bringing it down to 415.

Dave, something else to look out for is the Canadian Marshall JMP heads from mid-late 70's. Mike Fortin had one on the bench a few months ago with a plate voltage of 520vdc :rock: They use a laydown power tranny, which has higher plate voltages than the regular US/UK JMP's from that era.
