Hi:
I swear on my fretted girls this post is not a troll. I was reading the JCM 900 thread and this came to mind.
What is the reason why the JCM 800 is a sought after amp and the 900 is not as much? What is the mystique?
I own a JCM 800 2x12 combo and I love it. Wouldn't trade it for the world. But I didn't buy it because it said 800 on it. I bought it because I was looking for something Marshall, something in a manageable package, and this was available at what I thought was a good price.
So what is it about the 800 that others seek, and how does it compare to other famous Marshalls, like the Plexi or the DSL/TSL?
FWIW, I also have a Mesa Recto Head and I am in the market for a Bassman head (getting harder to find!). I am a firm believer in the right tool for the job...
