NTD: the albino JCM5150 + Mesa 4x12

Paartay!

Noice!
I honestly didn't really know what to expect with the thread title, part of me came in expecting some kind of strange JCM800 (or 900) / 5150 amp with the guts from both amps somehow combined haha

Paartay!

This is one of the sexiest amps I've seen!

I remember you posting this on HCAF and I splooged!

This needs an update - we finished the other rig and they look sick together! Currently in talks with a guy on the Duncan forum to make me a Marshall-script style '5150' logo to complete it.

Lighting kind of messes with the seam between the piping and the edge of the 5150, but whatever.

Kinda wanting to tolex my jca in white now

 

[Tommy Gun]

Yes. White tolex does look pretty damn awesome on stage.

so, how hard is it for a regular guy to retolex a 5150 ?

Weedeater guitarist sporting fucking white LP custom (fuck yes mick ronson) in front of full marshall as fuck stack. sounded like SHIT but that's the point. fuck a woman tone.

Not too bad - worst part is removing the old tolex, but a belt sander + 40 grit and some patience goes a long way. Normally, corners would require some practice, but the 5150's corner guards are so big it doesn't matter.

Sloan, jesus... what the fuck did that guy do to that LP? Sharpie??? I hate guitarists sometimes.
