Had it and sold it (due to being broke).

JCM800 2204 head into a 1960A cab. Set up for me by Trev at Tipton Amps. To quote a friend who was demoing it as part of an amp shootout at a uk.music.guitar event., "It's a bit of a one-trick pony...." FX: hits face melting power chord, grins like an idiot. "But it's one heck of a trick". Particularly when you wound it up to overdrive the power stage as well.

I probably wouldn't buy another (the one I had is now in the US), largely because it's too big and too loud for the stuff I play, and my son's now a drummer and I need the space in the car! Trev's Slasher head he built for me is 5W watts of near-perfection, anyway, which goes into power stage overdrive before the neighbours phone up and complain

Already sitting on two-and-a-half: a Harry Joyce DR504 and a 65 Bassman. I have a fantastic OR80 clone (the “half”) but I wouldn’t hate replacing that with a pix-only Orange.

As for wants? A Hex Amps Micro T probably tops the list, as it’s the only amp I’m actively always looking for. I’ve had first- and second-gen Model Ts which were great but insane overkill... that tone in a 7-watt head? Sign me up!

The OR clone is gone, but I got a Micro T late last year and it’s the knees of various bees. So happy to have tracked one down!

This is my exact band setup, but with one of those rare little Marshall 1966a 2x12s that are like mini 4x12's, fits perfect...



Pictured here with my old '65 that DeathJag bought from me. Great guitar, already missed.

This is a very nice picture

My two main dream amps are the Marshall 2203 and Hiwatt DR103. I've owned both in the past (a '79 JMP 2203 and a '72 DR103), and my current amp is a Ceriatone DR103 clone that is modded with an extra gain stage among other things, so it can kinda do a bit of both of what those two amps can do (although it obviously sounds more Hiwatt than Marshall in general).
I definitely wouldn't mind owning a 2203 again, I've been more and more drawn towards that side of things over the past few years.

Ah that's an amazing rig! You've got a Pro Reverb as well haven't you?

I had one for a bit, a Silverface one. It was good but too heavy for my back really as I live in an upstairs maisonette.

My favourite I had (but sold anyway because I'm an idiot) was the BF Vibrolux. That was an amazing amp but unfortunately too loud for home and not the right sound for the band.

I like the look of the horizontal 2x12 Bassman cabs so I picked up one from Mojotone and stuffed a pair of Golds in there. It pairs wonderfully with the '66 Bassman!

Not with the back off but here's the cab all ready to go.

[JSett]

I have matching horizontal cab for mine (I had to track it down separately) but I've only used it once and then put it in the garage as I prefer the form-factor of the Marshall 1966a. I think I only bothered getting the cab because a) one came up for not a lot of money and b) the completionist in me felt I should own both halves, for some reason.

I keep intending to build a split-panel for the back of it as I do prefer an open-back sound but the amp and cab live at the rehearsal space and it's that whole "out of sight, out of mind" thing

Right on. I also have 1966a and b cabs (along with a similar-but-very-different 1515) - they are the absolute best.
