I challenge you to find a decent blackface Fender that is cheap.

If 500 is a cheap price for a 60's black face bandmaster in decent condition, your challenged was completed at Guitar Center of Manchester, CT. However, I've seen silver face combos that go for over twice as much.

It blows me away because I don't think Marshall amps sound all that good anymore. The guitarist in my old band had a JCM2000 and I thought it sounded like crap.

For the same money, there's lots of cool amps you could get that would sound better than a Marshall.

Utter rubbish...Nothing beats a Marshall.

1992? Gas was $1.09 on an expensive day. When is the last time you saw a value meal for $2.99? $5.50+ if you want something more than what used to be a kids meal.

And in 2004 (when this thread was made) I paid $0 in rent because I was still going to college. I hear that you used to be able to get coffee for 5c at one point in history too! :p

Dude. This thread is five years old. Do you really have nothing better to do than troll around a forum's long-dead threads looking for comments you can make one sentence posts disagreeing with?

Tell me more. I mean, you clearly feel strongly about it, so why not give us something more useful than a baseless one-liner about it?

OK, here's one for you.

Laney make much better England-made valve amps than Marshall, and they're better value for money too. My VC-15 cost peanuts and is one of the best little combos I've heard. Tell me I'm wrong, and why.
 
One of my favourite amps is the Marshall I've had since I started playing guitar.

The amp I prefer to use for the most part, however, is a peavey.

It's horses for courses. None of the Marshalls I have do high gain stuff aswell as my Peavey 6505. But I prefer one of my marshalls for the cleans and another for the dirties.

It's like saying that a jigsaw isn't as good as a spirit level. Different tools for different applications. You can't beat a marshall for certain applications, but some amps will kicks it's ass for others.

Please, don't feed the troll. :D
 
Why buy a new Marshall anyway? Anything made by Marshall after dropping tubes is subpar.
