Hi, I've uploaded a demo clip of my Marshall JMP 50 combo to our homepage ("Nasty Dogs & Funky Kings" by ZZ Top).

The Bluezz Bastardzz (my ZZ Top cover band) recorded it in the rehearsal room, and I used half of my old Marshall cab with two G12H30 Blackbacks instead of the G12H30 Greenbacks in the combo. My Tokai LS60 with Gibson Shaw PAFs was plugged into the normal channel (not Volume I) on 10 like the master volume which was built in later. Treble, Mids and Bass to 0, Presence somewhere at 5.

On our Myspace profile you can also find "I'm not finished" (Gus Papas) where I used the combo Greenbacks as well as "Run to you" (Bryan Adams) and "Deutsche Läuse" (Herwig Mitteregger) done with the Blackbacks in the cab. "Thunderbird" (ZZ Top) is there as well, recorded with the Blackbacks.

sounds pretty nice .. Now put it in a nice box.

Thanks for listening and your comment! I think I'll just put the chassis back into the combo cab where it belongs... I only placed the chassis on top of the cabinet for the pictures which I posted in a thread on PlexiPalace some time ago.

By the way, you can see a bit of the Marshall 4x12" cab which I used for the recordings behind the guitar, it has a large checker board grille cloth, metal handles and two original greenbacks, so it's probably from 1971 or 1972.
