Used like new JVM410. Is it worth $1200?

[JiveTurkey]

Read the title, answer the question. Lowballing involves driving I don't have time to do





If nothing else; I know creating this thread ensures I will never get it.

 

[Achilles]

Pass. Not enough knobs.

That’s not bad TBH. I got mine “open box” (new) for $1450. Maybe try to knock your gas off the final price? (Assuming his interpretation of “like new” is actually “like new” )

 

[la szum]

As I mentioned, there has been one listed for $900 here and another for $1100 in the past
30 days. Too much driving and not enough time to do it prevented me from getting either.

I probably would have---given a free day to make the roundtrip.

He has it at 12 obo. 11 if I want to drive an hour. I don't have the time but I do want a JVM.

What is the date of manufacture? First four digits of the serial number. Sounds like a pretty good deal.

 

[la szum]

An hour? That's nothing. I was looking at a 10 hour roundtrip.

I am super deep into questioning any real need for more big iron here. I am not super
deep into questioning others doing so. I need you to do this for me, if not for yourself, JT!

Tell him you got 1k and can jump in the car.

He has the foot switch right?

New in 23. He did not give me the serial officially, though. So he could be lying

Yeah my road trip time is open for gigging but that's about all I got at the moment

I agree 1000% with this. It's kind of why I have been at a gear standstill I'll likely NEVER take the JVM out to gig which would make it even more of a shame

Tell him you got 1k and can jump in the car.

Yes on the footswitch. You know I have been circling this damn amp for what seems like forever! Gonna need to get me one of the Timbuk titles at a certain point

 

[spawnofthesith]

I drove 8hrs round trip for a 210h and 1960 cab I feel like the math checks out for 1hr and a 410

 

[MirrorProfiles]

I reckon if there’s one Marshall amp you’d like, it’s probably this one.

 

[texhex]

Seems like a no brainer and at that price even if you hated it you could sell and break even.

2 hours round trip is a Saturday or Sunday morning easy journey. You would be there and back again before you knew it.

 

[Whizzinby]

Yeah, I’m trying not to be an enabler, but this is the flame throwing Marshall. (And it’s actually remarkably versatile, not just a chugger) If JT digs the models of it on the Frac, then it’s the lowest of risks imo.

But…

In the UK a JVM410H can be had for anywhere between £500 and £900. So $1200 is top-end of what they'd cost here, but it certainly isn't a BAD deal.

Personally I think they're still a certain kind of "sleeper" amp... because a lot of people think they're shit and overgained and thus noisy... but that's coz C*nts dial stuff in with their eyes and not their ears.

Just bear in mind if you want to use it live, the FX loop blows and the channel switching gap/latency/silence whatever you want to call it, is quite annoying.

The Satch JVM is a better buy. But you won't get one of those for $1200.

 

[spawnofthesith]

FX loop does kinda blow. That fx knob on the back should be labeled “tone suck”

I switched to the other fx loop and had muuuuuch better results even though the manual and logic would indicate that it shouldn’t be better That kne isn’t foot switchable tho if that is important

The Satch one had the gate which is cool in my book. But I feel like the brutal would be compromised (without any real evidence that it would be).

So the parallel one, right?

Nah. Has the brutals in spades.
