ID this Marshall for me

[P I K A]

Went into a store today and saw a Marshall JCM 800 head with vertical inputs on the left side. Never saw them that way before. The tag said 4104 on it but there was no one to help me ,just some kid running the place. Anyway it looked beat up so I assumed it was an older unit but what head is it?

The 4104 was a 50w combo..did it look like an hacked combo cab converted to a head?

Right. The 2204 was the head version?

Yea I thought that number was a combo thats why I was confused. No it just looked a little beat up. The thing I'm questioning besides the model is the inputs on the left.

[charvelguy]

Yeah, .. it is basically the 2204. I'd almost bet its a converted combo.. they've likely taken the amp out out of the combo's cab and put it into a headshell. Is it still top mounted like a Valvestate? Or.. is it more like a regular JCM, JMP which is bottom mounted?

Check it out..

Yea it looks like the pic in the auction. Guess thats what it is. Didn't look too close I'll check back Are these good Marshalls? The tag said 499 thats why I initially looked.

That's about the going rate for a 800 combo.

Thanks Ron I guess I'll pass. Been gassing for a mk IV anyway ,I don't know why I'm looking at Marshalls.
