On the Sweetwater website the SLP is $2450 and the HW is $2700. Only a $250 difference. Not badsurfnorthwest wrote:For example the 1959SLP sells at $2400 where the HW version sells at $2800.
sorry Surf but I disagree in my opinion in these amps the real deal its not the ptp stuff but the accuracy with which they replicate original trannies, in the HW serie trannies are way beyond (and better sounding) their pcb counterparts, the trannies are the magic : you can swap an original JTM45 board in a '81 JCM800 and it will sound as a JCM800.surfnorthwest wrote:You all have to ask yourself a serious question here, if you can already by the 1987 with the PCB for $1699 would you really run to the store and pay another $400 for the HW version?
The 2061, 1959 abd 1974 can be had today in a HW option. For example the 1959SLP sells at $2400 where the HW version sells at $2800. I bet Marshall thinks there is not much of a market for that, but I don't know. I would bet however that if you really wanted a HW JTM45 or 1987 you could special order one, I bet they would do it. Someone in the UK should call and ask.
In the end I am in the camp that a PCB is just as good. There is a vintage factor and cool factor however that makes the HW attractive. Easier to mod also but I am not into mod'ing my amps. If I really wanted one I would try to special order one.
I don't believe so, Guitar Center has the same prices online, without 18 month financing.romeomotive wrote:Sweetwater is inflating the price on Marshall amps because they are offering some sort of financing deal, I believe.
