charlie brown Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi All, 4 years ago, I found a "like new" Marshall 1960-A (Slant) Cabinet, for a ridiculously fair price. I purchased it, obviously, and had been searching for an equally "good deal" on a "used" Marshall Head. Well, last evening, while in Wichita, to go to a concert at The Cotillion Ballroom ("Mike Finnigan, and The Phantom Blues Band"), I went into Guitar Center, as it was "on the way," and I wanted to purchase (another) pedal, that I'd taken a "shine" to (Dunlop M75 "Super Badass Distortion") and after that purchase, 2 of my friends and bandmates, decided they wanted to look as some basses, "just for fun, and to kill time," before heading a couple of miles, down the road, to The Cotillion Ballroom. Unfortunately (for my checkbook), but fortunately for ME, the bass section was right next to the Marshall Amp section. I spied (as in ZOOMED IN ON) a "Used" but "like new" Marshall 2000 TSL-100 Head, at a price I thought (especially given the (literally) "Like New" condition, was more than fair! And, I talked them down, another 100 bucks (including sales tax). So, what was to be a 85 dollar purchase, ended up substantially higher, but an "awesome" deal, none the less. So, without further ado... Before: And, After: Tried it out, at home, this morning and what a "Fire Breathing Beast" it is! Still familiarizing myself, with all the knobs and buttons, but so far it seems like an amazing amp, to Me! And, for the price I paid, I can't complain at all!

charlie brown Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Way to go Chuck! You have now just joined an elite fraternity...owners of Marshall Stacks! Well done mate. Thanks, Paul...it's a familiar feeling, from my youth (when I owned a Marshall "Major" AKA "The Pig," Full Stack). I think, at this juncture, a 100 watt 1/2 stack will be more than enough. LOL But, IF I find a 1960-B Cabinet, in equal condition, at the same price the 1960-A was purchased, "Who Knows" it may become a "Full Stack," at that point?

I have precious FEW. No one around us took photos, and/or IF they did, they're long gone! So, it's GREAT that you have those. A FEW that I do have: LOL Spring 1966 with my New Gretsch Country Gent, and Fender Bandmaster Amp, and "checkerboard" shirt! LOL!!!!! [lol] The big, home made" speaker cabinet (prior to covering) was named "McQuilda!" Why??? Who knows, it seemed humorously appropriate, at the time. Summer, 1966, with my Gretsch Country Gent, and Newly acquired Vox "Super Beatle!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought Sunn had the market cornered on gigantic guitar enclosures LOL, Yeah...it went on to have 6-12's in it! I think it eventually ended up, at the bass player's house, (sans speakers) being used as a book case! LOL!!! [lol] CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
