Michael Schenker Fest - Nov 13th, 2018, Wytwornia Club, Lodz, Poland

Yep, Mad Mikey's on fire these days, & it really is something to behold. It's crazy how "in the zone" he still is, after all these years & all he's put himself thru as SRS mentions...... he's been shredding these licks for decades & he still looks like a 20 something virtuoso when he's in full flight.This is why, I never miss him when he comes around, & I second the motion that all Dinos shouldn't either.He's the real deal.

I have a ticket to The Schenker Fest in Richmond, Virginia in May. I was bummed I missed this tour last year. Same lineup so I am pretty stoked for this show.

Love his playing now on the old stuff but his solos are very disappointing on the new recordings. No effort put in to compose melodies at all.

That's an amp I'd definitely love to own. Where did you get it? They don't seem very common.

The thing is, not so many people are willing to send an amp. So I sometimes, I send an empty box that fits a Marshall head.

I use Mondial Relay for shipping (20EUR for an amp head), also in Belgium.

I pay by bank transfer (no fees in Europe, no Paypal fee etc...) so people are willing to negotiate a bit.

You can get one of those for less than 1000€.


JCM900 can go as low as 400€ for a head

DSL, TSL, JCM2000 around 750€-900€

JMP from the late 70s, 80s around 1000€


JCM800 (2203,2204 earlier single channel with vertical inputs are best), later models like this one (2205, 2210) are around 1000€. I saw a WHITE one for 650€ but it was already sold by the time I made the offer...

Plexi, superbass,.... from early 1970s: 1500€-1800€

Plexi, Major etc...from the 60's: 2500€ and more depending on condition.


Avoid delusional people that will try to sell 2555 Silver Jubilee or Slash model from the 80's for 1800€.

Also people that said the amp was checked by tech but chassis are still covered in dust.

A new set of tubes for 100W bought on TubeTown are like 100€ for JJ's which are good enough for most things.

Look for the blue capacitor cans on top of the chassis (usually Daly are used in Marshall): marking is like YYWW

where YY= year, WW= week so for example if marked "8148", cap was made on 48th week of 1981 and definitively need to be replaced...If you know how to solder, you can replace them yourself.

You can also add a 1 Ohm resistor on one leg of the power tube socket that you can use to check and measure bias.

So basically: a good soldering iron, clipper, plier, screw driver and a multimeter and that's all you need. Feel free to contact me for advice...

I actually made this into a t-shirt for myself
