JVM GAS is easy. Till you start drilling down

[chicken]

. $2,199 for a new JVM is actually a great deal

I bought my for 1279 euro. If I was in America I would never buy it. It's insulting.

@ejecta SLO-30 is also quietly on this same imaginary list

If they had a JVM the size of the 5150 50 watter or a rack size; it'd probably be in the works before this thread was even started

The size is always what holds me back on these. I don’t need or want a head designed to be the same width as a 4x12 cab

I still want a Marshall Mark VII

jmp1 plus el34 100 watt?

Lord yes. I LOVE the smaller form factor sized heads.

This has stopped me a number of times from buying.
Most recently an M-Zero Overdrive that popped up for a decent price.

The way I see it, if Randall Smith was able to cram all the features of the Mark VII into a head that size then there is no excuse for any other amp to be any bigger

TBF; I can see guys with 4x12s not wanting the shrunken head syndrome on top of their cabs

Ever try working on one of them????

 

[Achilles]

TBF; I can see guys with 4x12s not wanting the shrunken head syndrome on top of their cabs

And it's only a 1 x 12.

I can see that, but at least it can be done even if it doesn’t look the way you want.

It’s still way better than trying to use a giant head with a 19” 1x12

EVH 100 watter; I am looking right at you

 

[Achilles]

Listing a 100 watter for $4K or more is no big deal anymore I guess.

 

[Byrdman]

I wonder what would happen if I had a Mesa Boogie Dual Rec head and someone else here that lived in Europe had a Marshall head I was interested in.

Could you do an even trade with each just paying shipping? How are taxes paid on a transaction like that coming and going?

Both ends would have to pay import and/or export taxes. An M-Zero Overdrive is $3,700 if you're in Europe but $4,200 if you want it exported. That doesn't include any shipping fees.

When I was about to buy the new Skill from the place in Canada he told me it'd be about 10% up-charge over cost to get it into the USA.

Not 100% certain but it's all based on an item's international commodity code.

On one hand; it would be nice to have my Mesa, 5150 AND Marshall bases covered at home. For playing at quiet jam room volumes I'd never end up gigging it because it's too wide for my gigging cabs. So that kind of keeps it easy to not purchase

Your cabs are saving you A LOT of money

I was about to just tell you to live in Fractal-land for the quiet jam room volumes, because you can just about have whatever amp you want, whenever you want, and then I remembered that I live in an apartment, and all I can think about these days is what amp I'm going to buy next

Pot, meet kettle . . .
