Advice needed on buying JMP (?!?)

clorox · 10-01-2009, 06:10 PM

Hi everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller

And I think that I am on right place to get serious info and advice on this one.
I am offered to buy head that is supposed to be JMP 100w. Here are only two pictures I got from seller so far.

Imageshack - sdc10205w

Imageshack - img0739t.jpg

I know that you cant see much from these but I'd like to know can someone tell me am I at least in the ballpark. Since I am complete noobie, I'm not even sure if everything in this picture is as it should be. I notice that most of images of JMPs I've seen show 3 transformers unlike this one that has 2 and they look different and tubes seems thinner then once I've seen on others so could it mean it was moded for other tubes?

Just to mention that price is nice (400 euros) but I would not like to throw money to some junk with most of parts being replaced with non original ones.

Please someone advice me on this one, tell me what information and images should I request from seller, what should I pay attention to, etc.

Thanks!

Dude, that's not even a Marshall, it's a knockoff, likely made in Eastern Europe. Forget it.

Woah, dude, you're right. Where's the choke? Never seen a board or caps like that in a 100 watter either. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Nuff said. Thanks for saving me money and much more.
Cheers!

Stay away my friend. If you want some real pics of a JMP let me know. I own a master volume model along with several other older marshalls. Not one of them looks remotely like this one on the outside or inside.

that amp looks like a hack job copy gone wrong to me.

thanks man, i've found a shitload of images of different JMPs and non of them looked close to this, but as i said, i am absolute noob to marshalls, so i was hoping that i might have came across something, let's say unusual, not to use terms like "rare", "valuable" and such.
fraud.
case closed.

Hi.

Clearly not a Marshall, and ejaculating caps is always a bad sign, but if the price is right, that little bugger can be a decent platform to someone DIY oriented. LIKE ME

.

Where is this amp for sale and for how much? I have a bit of a thing for weird stuff

.

Regards
Sam
