I've got a JCM900 one, bought used a 2-3 years ago. Never had a problem with it, sounds good to me.. no idea what it's made out of.

does yours have the stock speakers? what amp are you using with it?

I read a few reviews saying the older ones are built well and sounded good....and that ones made within in the last couple years were made pretty cheaply...but I have no experience with marshall cabs at all.

I use a Marshall JCM2000 DSL50 head, and occassionally a solidstate Laney 120H World Series head. And from about an hour ago, my little Zoom 15w modelling amp running from the headphones jack (sounds pretty damn decent this way, weirdly). Still has the stock G12T-75s in it.

Don't have a bad word to say about it, really- it's been around the country with me and I've never had a problem with it.

one more question...........is a jcm800 or 900 one?

He said in his very first post it's a JCM900 one.

I have owned two (bought one new 2 years ago that was stolen) and I bought another new last week - they're solid as all hell.

Made cheaply? Not true, they're very well made and packed in transit. I have the G12T-75s in there and they're great.

I also have a JCM800 4x12" which is oldass and doing fine.

is that new cab a 6100? with the midiness? congrats, I've been jonesin for one of those for a while.

Also I don't know if you are a Cursive fan, but did you know that Tim Kasher from Cursive plays one of those?

Yup, that's my 6100 head. It has MIDI but I just use the footswitch to change the channels (it's a 6 pin DIN connector which is MIDI + power for the LEDs - the 3 button thing in my signature).

Great amp, the best I've ever heard. the Clean Channel and crunch in particular are just stunningly great and fun to play.
