Re: how much to pay for a Silver Jubilee 2550 head?

depends how much you want one if its in good condition and a 2555 then up to £1500 would be
about right . the problem with the Jubilee is they were only made for 1 year so they are much rarer than say a 2203 which you could get for £600 . if you are not bothered about cosmetic detail then a new ceritone clone which is hand wired would be cheapest option , however the jubilee is a cool looking amp IMO   smile

Acctually the Silver Jubilee was only made for one year but Marshall made them in black for 2 more years 88 & 89 same amp different tolex and then the SLash amp was released sometime in the mid to late 90's I think also the same amp. So if your only looking for tone and not resale or the sliver color then look for a black one.

There's a 2553 Silver Jubilee on fleebay right now for $1500 USD. Thats the max I would even consider paying for a 25/50 and the amp had better be in top condition.

I have 3 - 2555's. 1 silver and 2 black. There are no tonal differences between the silver or the black and I know of no component differences either. There may be with the 2555sl reissues, but I haven't played one so I can't say for sure. If you want to pay extra for the silver tolex be my guest.

They're going for about £1500...

Really...if it weren't for the hype...you'd be thinking around £1k

Re: how much to pay for a Silver Jubilee 2550 head?

2553's being the small box head do not fetch the money the large boxes do for some reason. 1500 is way to high for the 2553.....would be about right for a 2550....of course values are subjective at best. Nothing is worth more than someone will pay smile

The guy at the repair shop I took my 2553 in black to a few years ago offered me $1200 for mine, I turned him down because I won't sell it.
