New Marshall 1959HW Day + 1960BV 4x12

[James Freeman]

Marshall 1959HW is in the house.
Also got a 1960BV 4x12.

The 1959HW is a new production of a '68 Super Lead, some say the holly grail of the Plexi era Marshall amps, the sounds is beautiful and I have grown to love the buzzy squishy sound of non-master volume amps.
I'm not going to mess with it, this amp will remain stock as long as I own it, it's a piece of modern art, a piece of history and a symbol of an era of good music.

Some gut shots.

Congrats! Wonderful amps, and Marshall REALLY did their homework on the circuit. Great cab too

it's so gd clean! the guts look like a shrine circuit puzzle out of breath of the wild.

and what in the holy overmatch of antioch

Marshall prices in Europe are very fair, it was 1,360€ brand new including tax and shipment, we have an end-of-year sale in our local region.
I think I have their entire vintage/reissue collection now, excluding the JTM45 which I'm not very fond of.

This should be pinned to the top.....

Amazing amp, done well, hand wired.....and 100 watts.....and a fair price.....this is an amp everyone should have, especially at this price.....cannot lose....

Proof of what I have been saying about amp prices for years ....too damn high!!!

Pay attention Mesa!

Epic! Big, Dumb, and Glorious!

That's $2500 for the head here in the States, which considering the cost of a Friedman or
one of the new Mesas is looking more and more like a great deal.

If I were to ever get another big, dumb amp, the 1959 stack would be it.
I prefer to call it Bold and Beautiful though.

Wow! Congrats. Love it!

Dang, where did you get one €1,360? Thomann is currently at €1,890 for me, for €1,360 I'd totally buy one. Also, a Pre-Rola M25 Basketweave 412 is the obvious next item on your list.

2024 was good to me, I am truly grateful for the people and other forces that made my situation happen.
May the cosmos deliver all your desires and cure your GAS too.

PS.
Marshall is reasonably priced here so I could afford to buy an amp every few months and other small gear in between.
The AxeFx and Peavey were more expensive than any of the Marshall gear, including the 1959HW.

A few more pedals like BE-OD, SLO, HX Stomp XL, Maxon OD808, RAT, MT-2, a bunch of Aliexpress pedals, pedal-boards, power supplies and more.

Does that mean you are the first case of successfully cured GAS

Unlikely.

Nice! Quality components all around in the 1959HW. How does the 1959 compare to the 1987 in the room?
