NAD ! Marshall 2104 combo

riffpowers

Partly nostalgia and a desire to downsize from a 1/2 stack gave me the idea of getting a marshall combo just like the one I used to have .

After some searching I picked up this one . It's a 79 and exactly the same as the one I used to have . Got it for a good price due to the castor cups on the top, but they'd been done professionally and the amp has been really like after and is in great shape .

All the classic sounds are in there and the amp has more gain and bass than I remember too ! Sounds great .

These are great! I can remember people selling them for £200 in the late nineties, should have picked up a load of them!

Yep , that's how much I sold mine for !

You do realise that since it's had the proper Marshall foot cups fitted to the top, you need another one now?

These are great amps and even now, very undervalued for what they are compared to a head and cab of the same age.

What speakers does it have - G12-65s? The dust caps are the larger type and I think that's the first year they used them. They do have more bottom end than the 25s, slightly - that might explain the difference in sound if your old one had the 25s.

ICBM , that's funny ,?i showed the amp to my friend , and when he saw the caps he said "you should get 2 !!" Maybe I should ! Yes it has 65's , I think my original one had them too , I suspect the lack of gain and bass might be due to problems with the amp , it had a few problems and started to not sound as good so I sold it . In retrospect I should have found a better amp tech !

I had one until about 1990. I sold it after having to carry it across a field and a gravel car park to a wedding marquee.
Sounded great though.
