For Sale 1984 Marshall 4104 JCM 800 2x12 Combo

[LPMojoGL]

Never modded. New Tung Sol 6550s, back up sets of GE (these were $180) and Sovtek included. Original Celestion Modern Lead 70 speakers. Handle is perfect. No cracks in the corner bumpers. No bends, but some scratches in the faceplates. Cracked knobs were replaced. Several knicks in the tolex.
$1800 obo, local DFW. Buyer pays shipping. NO TRADES.

Now for the fun part. This, with horizontal input and 6550s, is hands down the best sounding Marshall I've had. It has THE sound. I thought I would never sell it.
I've owned many Marshalls and clones over the past 20 years: JMP, JCM, Germino, Rockitt Retro, Retro King, Friedman, Bogner, Top Hat, handwired one-offs, etc.
This Marshall hasn't seen much use since 5 months ago, when @RedPlated Ground Zero Amps sent me an amp that does what this amp does, plus a whole lot more. For a whole lot more $$$. I hate to admit it, but it's time to let it go.

Serious buyers are welcome to swing by and crank it up. Folks that need approval from their spouse, get it beforehand. Tire kickers, low ballers, and anyone wondering if they might like this amp, don't bother.

Please listen to some clips of this great amp in action.

Dude…I cut so much back in the 80’s with the 1x12 version of this and it had THAT SOUND. This and an SD-1 and you’re done.

It is perhaps the best amp I've had. Fav of anyone that comes over. With 4 different gain ranges and 2 gain voicings, it can sound near identical to the Wizard MC50 6L (with plenty more gain on tap), or the 4104, and has a fantastic Fender sounding clean channel.
I'd hate to have to pick between this and the SLO.

This is it if you ever wanted your Friedman to be more open, bright, with krang and bite. It's like a modded Marshall with some Wizard zing.
@RedPlated nailed it. Thanks Jeremy!!!

Too tired to play or say much. Here's a quick clip:

Thought I'd never sell it. Esp after comparing to the Plex. Doubt it sees much play time with the SSS (I call it the SS Supreme) around. So, yeah, I listed with some reservation. And if it came down to it, I'd list the Wiz before it. I wouldn't lack for anything if I only had the SSS and SLO.

What's wrong with people? I've had 2 trade offers from FB. One for a Friedman PT20! Lololol

To be fair, you're one of those players that will sound good thru anything. The 4010 can cut just fine.
