Hi all,

I just joined, so this is my first post. Got a question about the silver stacks. I bought a new JCM2000 DSL 100 Silver Jubilee late last year. 1960SL A & B cabs.

Is this a limited run stack? I read somewhere on the net that Silver Jubilees were originally made 25 years ago and that Marshall recently released a "limited run" of which, 400 made it to N. America.

Any additional info would be appreciated!

Thanks, Tim

That's a very nice Marshall stack and LP you got there!

I'm guessing that the exterior is "jubilee" only, but it's still a JCM 2000 inside?

From what I understand, the Marshall Slash Signature amp (2555SL) is the last jube made.

Anyone else want to add something?

Thanks Alex! I've got more LPs, I can post pics if you want.

Honestly, I don't even know what jubilee means; the guy at the music store called it jubilee. It is a JCM2000, you're right, so maybe it is just a silver JCM2000 with no differences? What is jubilee, anyways?

Also, how are JCM2000s viewed in the Marshall community? Are they great stacks, mediocre stacks, below average? I love mine, don't get me wrong, just wondering what the census has to say about them.

Thanks, Tim

The guy at the music store either doesn't know what he's talking about, or he's BS'ing you. The Silver Jubilee was made in one year ONLY....1987. It's model # is 2555, and is quite unique among Marshalls. The same amp was reissued later with black tolex. Then the Slash model 2555SL came out...same amp, in black, with a Slash logo. All three versions of this amp are essentially the same, with different cosmetics.

What you have is a JCM2000 DSL 100, dressed in silver... a completely different amp. Perhaps somewhat collectible in it's own right, but it's not a Jubilee.

This is a Jubilee:



DSL 100's are not bad at all tone-wise, just treat it with kid gloves, as the JCM2000's don't have the greatest track record on reliability. That's a pretty cool stack you got there, and it makes a good pairing with the Silverburst Custom. If you got more pics, let's see 'em.

Thanks for the info! I'll stop calling it a jubilee now.

These are my girls. The same pics are posted on another forum.

Tim, your collection rocks!

Interesting burst on that 335. Never saw one quite like that.

It's called "Antique Teaburst" but I call it T-bag.
