Marshall JCM 900 Combo question

[txcharvel]

My next purchase will be hopefully be a tube combo amp. There is one of these locally, but I don't know enough about it to know if I'm getting a good price.

What's a good price for one of these?



Thanks all [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

they usually sell on EBay in the $700.00 range.
my buddy just sold one for $700.00.
I think for a Marshall these are some of the worst
combos they ever made.
I would look at an 800 instead.

Thanks for the info, I will keep looking. I think my ideal amp might be a Dual Rectifier Tremoverb. That or a vintage Fender Pro.

As much as I'm not a MESA fan, they would be a better choice than than any post 800 era Marshall.

I am always the only guy saying this for some reason. I had one of these when it first came out and I FUCKING LOVED IT. It rocked, and it KICKED THE SHIT out of my roommates Mk III Simulclass combo.

My two cents.

What I read Mike saying is that maybe you should give it a try before writing it off. Who knows, it might be just what you are looking for? Never hurts to take it for a test drive.
