Perhaps. But Wanda is passionate about her father and wants to continue to carry the torch for him. She is the one that contacted Gibson. Gibson probably gets a LOT of requests for Signature models. So why not plea with them on your father's behalf? I think many Signature models start out as a grass...

Wanda King is Freddie King's Daughter. She still lives in Dallas area and she performs routinely around town. She has a wonderful personality and loves the association with her famous father. This morning, she posted on Facebook this message: Gibson and Fender Guitar have plenty of signature and cus...

DOH!

I went by the picture. I didn't read their 20 word header.

Batta Bing!

One on eBay - $487.50!!!

The prices seem to be on the slide upward to a small degree. I have the first three combos. But I have strongly considered selling the JCM-1C. At one point, I was seeing some sell for as low as $425 (used). But now the used ones seem to be steadily over $600. Some folks are getting a premium on the ...

Thanks for the input folks! @Blues_N_Cues - There were none available for me to demo at the time. In the past 18 months, I still have not seen another in person (other than mine). I hate buying amps just to demo. I actually had high hopes of buying for keeps. @Cousin Muely - I don't feel that it is ...

I have the first 3 50th Anniversary amps. I really went out on a financial limb by buying 3 amps in this price category. I really like the JTM-1C & JMP-1C. But the JCM-1C is more gritty than my playing style. So, I have like 30 minutes playing time on my JCM-1C. I have wanted to resell it ever since...

I have mic'd my JMP-1C and piped it through my home studio monitors (M-Audio BX8a) with a touch of large room reverb effect. This is an excellent sound. But there is still not much clean. But it sort of sounds like Roland electronic drums in a live situation. Not a bad sound, but something is differ...

Yesterday, I was noodling around with my R9 & JMP-1C. I have had it for a while and had gotten used to the sound for the most part. I made the mistake of attempting to compare the sound to my 1979 50W MV head with 4x12 greeback cabinet. I knew there would be an obvious difference. But I was not prep...

Tower of Marshall!

My concern is the image Marshall will project towards one artist when there are so many more you could use. I agree. Often, there is too much emphasis on a single endorsement. On the other hand, Fender tends to get too many endorsement models. But if we were talking about more name dropping, I woul...

Hmm. The White Album. Now, the White Box. Is there a connection?

I found the official demo after I listened to the Anderton's demo. As far as my comments about the mic placement and the quality of player demonstration, I like the official demo better by a long shot:

Marshall's Official SL-5 Demo

The demo sounded OK. Yet, the microphones made the sound too close and direct. On a stage or studio, the guitar will generally be slid back in the mix. This video makes for a transparent audio presentation. But this sound is rarely heard live or in studio. I think that is the #1 issue with most demo...

I HATE the argument, "We must stay competitive". I heard it from a V.P. at a large company that I used to work for. He said it in a company meeting with about 250 of us in the room. Ironically, neither he, myself & 40% of the others in that room are still at that company (6 years later). They will s...
