Came across this today....interesting they decided to do this....

Surely they mean the cabs are $800 each...not 1800?!
Time to buy an original one me thinks.
I found those prices outrageous...rather pay less for an original....
Sweetwater has the cabs for 1300 and the head for 1900.
Made in Britain with Pride - anyone expected it's gonna be cheap?
so at $2580 for the new Jub does this mean the original Jubs now are going to skyrocket?
I'm wondering if they are exactly the same. If they aren't, I would suspect nothing will change with the price of originals. If they are the same ... would think it would hurt the value of orginals.
way overdue reissue in my opinion.

Who knows the new ones may be better if they have replicated the diode configuration that gives it that magic. But having a few originals the quality contort back then must have not been that good because not all vintage Jubilees sound the same. If they can capture the magic tone and place right quality control then yeah baby the new ones will be awesome. But I will not hold my breath until I do a side by side comparison. My two cents

I paid $1500 for my 50w in pretty much mint condition a couple of years ago, with the over 3000 SN.
Although, with the price of most of the boutique amps today, I really don't think these are too far out of line, and will probably sell very quickly.

I think you are correct

I couldn't read the article, couldn't get it to load for some reason....IF they are HANDWIRED, I agree. If there's a PCB in there anywhere, the prices are ridiculous. (not that I personally have anything against PCBs, I don't)

I can understand and agree to a point about hand wiring but many incredible amps out there even some amazing boutique builder units are second to none are hand wired. I personally would not get to hung up on the hand wired thing.

AFAIK, the original uses PCBs too. I think only the "handwired series" are handwired point to point.
I expect those prices are MSRP, not street price. Sweetwater already has them discounted on their website: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/2555X

Did you even read my post? I said I DON'T PERSONALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PCBS... my point was, if they are going to charge that much money, they SHOULD BE HANDWIRED for the cost.
A $2000 -$3000 "boutique" amp is handwired. So if you're comparing the price of these new Jubs to boutique amps, compare the construction methods as well.

....and i'm really looking for mr. J.B himself to tell the difference of these old vs. new models.
You will play one of these Joe....right' ?
