I had become unhappy with my JCM2000 and decided to get something else. I was considering either a vintage Traynor YGM3 ( very close to Marshall specs so easily modded and righteous amps in their own right) or a modern Reissue of the same amp (very well done - they even had the transformers and grill cloth made by the original suppliers). So I put my JCM up for sale and someone gave me $550 for it today (remember, I only paid $175 for it when I originally got it). After selling it I popped into the guitar store to talk to a friend who works there about the vintage vs. reissue debate I was having with myself. As we were chatting, I mentioned that it was a bummer that a $600 Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 50 watt combo we had found in the chain a few months back had been scooped by a customer at the store which had the amp. On a whim I asked him to check their used inventory and he found one at a store out west for $599! He called the store, found out it was in mint condition, and while he was still on the phone I started tossing $100 bills at him. With the $375 profit I made on my JCM, even after taxes this 2266 is only going to cost a total of $301 out of my own pocket and that is including my original $175. So it might take a week or more to get here from out west, but I have a Marshall 2266 on its way to me. I am definitely stoked!!!  |

Congrats on cashing in on your old amp and acquiring your new one. Can't wait to get the reviews after you've had it for a little while.

They are a very dark purple colour so I am going to have to learn to play at least a few bars of either Purple Haze or Purple Rain before it arrives.

Marshalls = noise of the gods. When I play it sounds like the farts and belches of the Gods. |

Sweet. I occasionally get the gas for one, still. I think they're going to keep getting cheaper.

It has been 12-14 days and the damned amp still isn't here!!!
I was in the store last night and asked a buddy to check on it for me. The shipper at the originating store wasn't in so he will speak to him today (that store is out west so it is still too early for them to be open yet) and get the Purolator tracking number to figure out where the hell it is.

Waiting to hear something, that amp had better work perfectly or Colin will probably blow a gasket.

I was about to play it last night but got caught up in some moronically stupid work bullshit and, by the time I was finished dealing with that, I was tired so I crashed.
I have to cut the grass today but, once I am done with that, I will fire up the amp.
The thing is almost 100% mint. It was described by the original store as "someone's basement amp" and that is exactly what it seems to have been.

Do any of you see my picture of Col below or do you see a sticker? I see the sticker. Originally I saw the picture but they changed their terms of service and the sticker appeared. And yes, I see that pic of me that you posted................. |

They are doing it to everyone who uses their free service, but they seem to be doing it in stages so might not have gotten to you yet.
In order to use their service for third party hosting one now has to pay $399 per year.

$399 per year just to be able to post your pics to other websites? Talk about committing corporate suicide!
