I picked up this old road warrior. I just couldn’t pass it bye. I have just got it home so I haven’t had the chance to put it through its paces yet as we have family staying at the moment, but from what I have heard so far it sounds amazing. Can’t wait to crank it up..
It’s a 1970 Marshall 100 watt Super Bass and I believe it’s a Mk1.
I can’t make up my mind whether to leave it like this or send it off to be recovered. I have a vintage handle in my parts drawer, so that’s sorted.
Strangely the front panel is in very good condition and the back panel only needs a bit of tolex glued down. So any recovering would be to the main shell only. I’m more or less just up the road from the Marshall factory, so I might take it to them and have a conversation with them about it. I reckon that if they recover the shell, then I could clean up the front and back panels and the match might be pretty close. Or should I just glue down what can be glued down and keep it as stock as I can.
I will get round to taking some internals in the next week or so, but from what I can see thus far, everything in the back looks original (except the valves). The power socket has been changed and the Ohms selector knob is missing. Does anyone know if the indicator light on the front panel is the original?
