Dagan, that "someone" that Jim Marshall signed best wishes to was actually me, Martin Campbell ! I sold two Silver Jubilee heads , a 50w and a 100w both signed by Jim in 1994 to Marshall in 2010. Also two Jubilee 4x12 cabs an angle and a straight. I was promised by Phil Wells that my name would be displayed as the original owner ,from new , of the Jubilee collection on display at the museum..Oh well never mind , they know and I know where they came from ! Also believe that my mint 30th Anniversary 6100 ltd edition brass plater head and cab are on display signed by Jim in the same way. Once bitten .................
Quality !
And now we know Martin, I just wished someone had acknowledged your message with a reply 😕
Thanks Martin...
Didn't see the Jimi purple double stack.
Well that sucks. I’m sorry they didn’t do what was promised. Big business lives down to expectations. This guy sounds like my first wife. I thought he’d have to come up for air by now.
Thanks, it was absolutely brilliant that! I met Jim in 1999. He autographed my Les Paul's and my Marshall stacks. What an amazing guy! He invited the band and I to lunch. I will never forget him. Thanks for the video.
Dagan just seems like such a cool dude. If I were to go to the Marshall factory, I’d want to go with him. He’d get as excited about stuff as I would
🤘🤘
a lot to admire about the company that Jim Marshall created, but these videos make it sound like Jim made the amps himself. Jim was a businessman and the credit for designing the amps belongs to Dudley Craven, Ken Bran, Steve Grindrod, Santiago Alvarez etc.
In his latter years, he apparently spent either 1 day a week or month (can't remember the details) on the Wire Bench, keeping his hand in.
I think you'll find the credit for designing the early Marshalls goes to one Clarence Leonidas Fender of Fullerton, California.
@@joebryant8500 with that logic you could say they’re responsible for almost every amp made since a bassman. and Fender circuits are derived from RCA manuals….
Wasn’t like they flew to London and picked the parts and components that went into a JTM and helped get the business off the ground. Jim was a great businessman and should be remembered for that - there’s no need for him to be portrayed as the man with a soldering iron in his hand
@@eds4754 Nope. Early Fender amps were evolutions of earlier hardware. The JTM-45 wasn't based on the Bassman. It wasn't even inspired by it. It was a total rip-off copy of it.
These days, Jim would have been in court.
@@joebryant8500 I believe Fender didn’t even have the bassman circuit copyrighted at the time so the small insignificant changes were redundant anyway. and the point stands that Jim has no electrical or guitar playing knowledge
I’m not a Marshall guy, but his enthusiasm motivated me to immediately check Craigslist
Totally awesome dagen. I'll bet you were stoked at that museum. Never seen so much amp history in one place. Didn't even know it existed. I guess without Jim Marshall they never would have would they. Loved the video man great tour of the museum thank you.
Great video, I had the amazing pleasure of meeting Jim Marshall when the silver jubilee amplifiers were released and he was a kind and modest man, an amazing experience that I will cherish forever. 👍🤘
my son recently had the opportunity to go to the museum, as he has been recently signed to Marshall records, and as part of his contract he received a Marshall origin 50
Dagan, I have 26 Marshall heads, combos that I 've bought since 1979. One of my favorite Marshalls is the SL5 Slash 5 Watt combo that I bought from a guitar session man here in Hollywood. It's all original and in mint condition. I love it!!
The best damn Rock and Roll amp ever built !!
I went there a few years back - had my 80s JCM800 2004 serviced before taking it overseas. Had a factory tour while it was serviced. Spine-tingling stories throughout. Great to see this documented on UA-cam now
Did crossroadsNYC give you the tour?
He looks after people who're into Marshall amps.
Been there. Amazing place! Wanna go back there soon!
Excellent overview, I dig the little Marshall effects head with reverb and overdrive, all amazing stuff, thanks!
I'm am absolutely astonished at the history in that museum, I just haven't seen any Marshall 1990 8×12 cabs from 1970 or any jcm 2000
Thanks for the tour Dagan !!
I love Marshalls and Gibson. I’ve been to the Gibson factory in Memphis before it closed. I didn’t know Marshall had a museum, but I gotta go! Thanks for showing off and geeking out.
Dagen great video Man there is no other amp to me the first time I heard Jimi Hendrix on the radio I new Marshall was it the sound of Rock and Metal period RIP Jim Marshall The Godfather of Loud.
I met JM in 87 in new zealand, he gave me a Marshall jacket...still got it.......lovely man
This is Awesome! Thanks for bringing us all along! 🤘👺
Just got my first Marshall head and stack last Saturday, 11/4/23, and I waited 60 years but it was so worth it. My face still hurts from smiling.
Used to visit the factory in the 70s,
Ken Bran was managing the factory at the time, as we were poor art students from Northampton (just up the M1) we used to visit the factory and Ken would sell us "ShopSoiled" Marshall Mk2 master 100 lead models for £100 pocket money for him,(they were about £212 in the shops if I remember correctly, well to "shop soil" the amps he would take a screwdriver or anything sharp and put a small(almost not visible) scratch on the control panel in the upper right corner (we watched him through the interior windows in the factory) the factory seemed very quiet in those days, there were some women making wiring looms and some lads in the cabinet/covering area but all quite relaxed. So we would be over the moon with our "shop soiled" new Marshall heads and Ken would have some "pin money" for the weekend, I still have my Fuzz Face that I purchased in the Marshall shop in Bletchley village price £5 I couldn't afford the Marshall Supafuzz, that was a whole £9.
I'm left now with an ex Gary Moore JCM 800 I purchased off his guitar tech and a really great sounding JCM 45, if only I had carried a camera around more often.
I’m not a guitar and amp nerd but I find it interesting because I was born and I grew up in Milton Keynes and I still live there now. So it’s interesting to learn about the history of where I live.
Great job! I have a 1965 JTM45 that I’ve had for almost 50 years now. I love it! I also have a bout a 1967 super lead 100 W that I also love dearly Ala EVH.
Awesome tour - what a history
Dude your killing it... every since my uncle whose a blues drummer showed up at my house when he found out I was learning guitar and gave me a lead micro stack I've loved the Marshall sound.... it's so perfect that us Americans made the guitar and across the pond yall made the amp and together like moths to a flame every misfit has lusted over having an American electric guitar plugged into a Marshall amp turning it to 11 and feeling the anger of the neighborhood grow as we bashed away bahahaha
Beautiful, was that Shel Silverstein?
I've owned a park 2x8inch stereo amp. Brilliant practice amp, plus a JTM 60. I visited the factory in 1995. The museum section is now vastly improved. Great video Dagan.
rumor has it jim used to carry a blank sighned check from gary moore in his wallet for the first marshall made if he ever wanted to sell it just fill it in!!!! crazy! LOL! , side note: at namm shows back in the day their would be long lines to meet and greet jim, but these lines would dissipate eventually and jim would be there just hanging out at the booth so i saw him and talked for a few minutes about my mom growing up close to his area and misc. , couldn't of been more nice and down to earth, genuine good human. "GODFATHER OF LOUD" rip
Great job with this video.....not usually the kind of thing I watch on YT, but really enjoyed it.
Fab. Great feature. Thanks.
Thanks for the tour bud. That was awesome.
What a bomb you showed that my brother, awesome thanks 🤟🤘💯
No Valvestate love huh? I own three Marshall Valvestates from the 90s, a VS100R combo, an 8080 and an 8100 half stack with the original cab, love these things.
Yeah? I just dug one out of my closet. It’s in my basement right now in my jam room. The clean channel is super scratchy and needs some work on the pots. The crunch channel is ok but a little scratchy. It’s not too bad of an amp I guess
Thank you for this. I have a 93 Marshall jcm 900 sl-x 100 watt into a 93 Marshall jcm900 Lead 1960 4x12 cab.....
Being a pro,lol, musician. I bought my first Plexi 50 watt in London '71 when played in prog Rock band Tallis in the West End clubs. like most players ...it was feat and famine. Sold my amp for plane tickets to fly back over the pond. Bought another. Same old, was broke again. I am on my 3rd. It ain't going this time I'm 74 ...if need be I will take it with me.
What an amazing video!!! Very cool man 👌🏼
Awesome video!!! 🔥
I had so many questions answered on this! TY
Amazing additions to the Marshall Museum would be the very early 70's heads in original red, orange, purple, blue, green, and yellow(!!!) Levant coverings. I've only seen one early 70's yellow head back in the 90's (a light lemon color) at the Philadelphia Guitar Show, and it was BEYOND cool...these colors would make for great reissues.
Love this vid Dagan, it don't get cooler than that man, but where's my JCM 2000 TSL 100 dude? Totally under rated amp.
That's some amazing stuff wow
The first Marshall I ever tried was in Memphis Tenn. in the late sixties. It was at a music store in a mall type shopping center. To try it correctly we rolled it out to the parking lot with an extension cord! It was a 100 watt stack and sounded GREAT!!!!!
Society might have turned out different if those amps were not as they gave way to revolutionary music that changed the world. Absolute treasure and I'm not even a marshall amp person.
Not really. The world was changed by the introduction of Fender guitars and amps. The latter being what Jim Marshall directly ripped off to create his first products.
@@joebryant8500 There’s always someone who just has to piss in the punch bowl.
Big fan! Still play my ‘83 2204 and it is still the best sounding amp I have ever played. Love the old Marshall tone. Good vid Dagan. Maybe I’ll be able to visit the factory myself sometime🤘🏻😎
Great tour and video! My first amp was a Park G25R, plays great and wonderful practice amp. I bought it used from a pawn shop for $25 roughly.
Got a 5watt red Mercury combo from my aunt's catalogue in 72/3 still works perfectly noisy little bugger too🇫🇴👍😃
Hey Dagan! Love this video.... Man! the Marshall SL5 (Slash signature 5Watts) for me is one of the best low watt amp on the market.
I had the 6100 30th Anniversary in the early 90s... made the mistake of selling it. That thing was awesome.
On a JVM410 now, which is quite nice as well.
Same here. Got one in the early 2000s and eventually sold it and then regretted it
Spotted a Artist 3203 head in there, awesome little 30w hybrid head. I had one new in 89 and I sent off the warranty card, and received a signed thank you letter from Jim himself. Still have the letter, sadly sold the head when skint in the mid nineties. One of my biggest gear regrets.
Great Video!
Some friends of mine run One Nation studios in Warwick and they have an old Park 50 watt head and it was addictive...massive amounts of bass available ...they also have some where a Super B
ass 100 which i played through 10 years ago ...tonetastic!! ears still ringing
I think the cabs with casters look so cool. I I've had three stacks in my lifetime, and none of them had wheels. They should come from the factory with them. I could have installed the casters, but the wheel wells on the A cab are more difficult and easy to f up.
🤘Dude, you do a really good job of bringing Enthusiasm and joy into your videos. You're like the rest of us , just pure fans of music. CHEERS 🍻
But wasn't that Paul McCartney that claimed that?
Great video 👍
Very cool video....like reading the Marshall bible book I have but in video format. Thanks Dagan!
Very cool.
I have a JVM410H with a 1960AV cab. It definitely brings my guitars to life.
I’m so proud to own a massive, thick and rich Marshall tube amp. I recently started recording DI, but when I practice…it’s with one of my Marshall, Bugera or Fender amps. Nothing pushes the air that same way. I plugged my Ibanez semi hollow into my Marshall today with a Fuzz and klon pedal…that sustain was STUNNING!!! I could hold a note for days and I was on the clean channel!!! 26:07
I have a Marshall "Lead 100 Mosfet" I purchased in the 80's....does anyone else have one?
So much amazing stuff in there! That Jaguar Bassbreaker takes it for me though.
very cool video
I have a Park G25R sitting next to me right now and its a WICKED little combo amp ! I play it all the time, I have had it for about 13 years I think , did not know they are rare .
Clapton playing Gibsons through Marshalls from 1966 started a fuggin tidal wave of sonic sensations...
I had a Marshall 2001 375w bass amp with two 4 x 12 bass cabs new from Kitchens in Leeds, I even remember the sales man Ian, I did not find out how rare they were till I sold it. Les than a 100 made.
We put the guitarist through it on full, it was earth shattering loud and very different to a jcm 800 on full. I was a useful amp for when the guitar player forgot to turn down after his solo.
Non of the other bass stuff on show , I sill have my Dbs400 stacks, a 87 Jubilee Bass 1/2 stack and my Dbs 200 combo on top of my Supa Bass reflex bin which you did show.
I also have 3 1987 8015 jubilee keyboard amps not shown, these also can take Bass or full range. They can be linked together.
Oh my god! I learned some cool ass shit! Just when you think you got your marshall knowledge game tight some dude comes along and lays some marshall history on ya that you had no idea of. That jukebox! How awsome would it be to have that thing? I didn’t know park was the same thing just a name change. I thought it was a “close as you can get copy” type deal. That power brick! I heard of it but never seen one till now. I kinda thought it was a mythical creature but it’s real. The gold top was awsome. Those 8 X 12’s people used to use back in the day as dummy amps to fill up emty spaces in marshall walls on stage without speakers in them. Just empty boxes. I know a guy that has one with speakers in it. I loved this video!
YOU MISSED NIGEL TUFNELS MAESHALL STACK GUITAR IN THE MEMROBILIA CASE!!!!!!!!! I WANTED TO HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT IT SOOO BAD.
YES !!!!
i had a tour thru the factory in 2016 . I remember actually picking up in my own hands the JTM 45 100 watt head ser 7247 which was the amp that Jimi Hendrix purchased in October 1966 and was used allegedly on his first two albums and at the
monterey pop festival. Where on earth could you do that? Marshall Rock!!!
At Syndal music.
Awesome -- I just happen to be wearing my Marshall Amps tshirt lol
Crackin tour mate. Was really hoping to see the factory. I’d be worried having all those historic amps and cabs out in the open and may gets damaged or nicked.
Most of them won't fit through the revolving front door, even after you've struggled to get them down the stairs without the security guys noticing. 😉
You would have to steal a trolley as well.
@@Mark95876 no need to nick a trolley. I’m talking about nicking the small bits then legging it. Still, surprised such historic and non replaceable items are out in the open to get damaged by some muppet.
Marshall 30th 6100 is my favourite amp.
Great video just wish they would have had the vintage modern I have two of them they are my favorite Marshall amp
Dagan's athleticism is surprising, I would have totally knock over that moped xD
Well Done - most Mus-ed-cation-al ! ! ! Did you see a 3202 Artist Hybrid 30 Watt Head they were matched up with 1965 A/B 4X10's. 1987-92. I just last summer found it on REVERB - Mint condition !🎸
i feel lucky to own some marshall tube and solid state gear, but my favorites right now are the BT monitor headphones..absolute crackers.
Wow wonderland
Learned A loty
My brother bought a brand new Park rig, 100w top and a tall angled cabinet with 8 x 10inch speakers, this was in the early seventies. I have never seen another Park tall cabinet like it since. He part exchanged a very early VOX 30w combo in tan material which of course is also very rare now.
Awesome!
Absolutely awesome, and this is totally irrelevant, but I think you mean provenance not prevalence
Amazing museum no wonder you were smiling. It got me thinking is there any story behind the Marshall stack in the window of the Newcastle store?
I had completely forgotten all about this but I had a loan of a Park silver steel painted 10 or 15W valve head (I think), for about a year from an English guy (his name lost in the mists of my memory) who worked in my office, whose wife Audrey, a local girl from my town Kilsyth, worked on my team for a few short years. It wasn't working too well as it wasn't very loud, but boy what a tone! Obviously one or more of the valves or some other internal component or two fell out of spec along the way because he told me that he used to gig with it and it was cripplingly loud for such a small amp. Never realised it was made by Jim Marshall. Never seen one before and never have since. Obviously very rare - but Audrey died very young, unexpectedly - so sad - and he called me up to get it back as he moved back to England, heartbroken, after she died. It just breaks me up to think about that now after all those years have passed and I realise that I had the very special privelege of being those two lovely people's friend and getting to roar through that super old valve head for quite a while. Ain't life strange, wonderful and tragic at times man! All the best from Alex the K, Kilsyth, Scotland.
it would have been nice if they would have turned on the light for you in the museum. It actually looks like somebody wanted to make a Marshall exhibition and they stopped in the middle of building it. What a shame. I got my first marshall, a brand new JMP2204, in 1980. Still have that amp!
More metal than ya mams kettle. Lol love it haha.
I never knew this museum was in the uk.
Always did wonder what happened to the Spinal Tap amp, now I know 👍🏻🤘🎸
I own a Marshall 8/10 cab which I believe was made in 1972. Was hoping to see one here to learn a bit more about it. Not a whole lot of info online about them. I think they were only made a few years.
I saw the little mixer I donated when I moved to Milton Keynes.
Around 17.10 in the glass cabinet. It was in mint condition and had a cover too.
I didn’t know they had a museum!
Love My Marshall Stacks and My 5 Watt Green one
O.K., That's really interesting. I have 2 passive cabs with 12" Park Studio speakers, and tweeters. I've always wondered if they would be good in a guitar cab. Now I'm willing to try.
Wow.
Russell Brand loves his Marshall’s 😅
Jim Marshall was a major exporter out of England. He needed distributers period. He was stuck in contracts no matter what the pros wanted. Thats why JTM, Plexi JMP. JCM, etc... 800, 900 his distributors wouldn't let him change without a law suit. until the contract ended.
I'm amazed that they let you pick them up and throw them around...
CMI Lead Bass 100W..... the Amp that changed my life for "Tube Mode" .... :)
I always have been faithful to Marshall amplification!!!!!!!!!
C'mon.. we've all plugged into a Fender when our Marshall wasn't looking 😏
The Bluesbreaker reissue grill cloth was made by Eric Collins in Olympia, Washington, not made locally!
It's okay. The JTM-45 was made in Fullerton, California....
Jim Marshall said he sold the first prototype marshall to a young kid because he was out of stock .He said all I have left is the prototype and the kid bought it .
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the very first amp that Jim Marshall made actually a Fender amp of some sort that he modified?
Fender bassman I think
Tweed bassman, the 5f6a circuit I believe. Turned it into the JTM45
The JTM45 wasn't a modified Fender Bassman. It wasn't based on the Bassman. It was a direct rip off of the Bassman.
@@joebryant8500 Ok we get it, you hate Marshall and Love Fender. Now STFU.
You sir are in walking in hallowed grounds! The Father Of Loud.
omg man as a car guy i really would love to have one of those jaguar amps
As an amp tech, I’m thinking the answer to the question, “how many broken amps can you fit in one building? “, has been answered.
The way this guy talks about Marshall,... is the way I feel about Mesa Boogie amps! To me the Boogie amp will always be the king (snake) tone monster of all time. I have owned Marshall amps in the past,... and I gave them all a good a good faith try,... but I always come back to Mesa Boogie. I have to say though - it's the Marshall stack you'll see more often I suppose,... so Iconic and grand looking,... even I have the Marshall fridge and a 4x12 with green backs!
