This was stolen I believe last weekend out of my buddy's jeep. He is a local working musician and these are his main amps. Pedals and other things were taken too. Luckily guitars were not in the vehicle at the time. The amps were covered up but he had a bag with pedals, cables, and such where it could be seen. Someone evidently went for the bag and then checked what was covered up and took both amps. Here is what I have from the email from him. He thinks it was a crime of opportunity rather than thought because someone could have broken in with a knife easily, instead they burned the window on the jeep.

1984 jcm 800 4104 serial s07972 50w 2x12 vent back speakers that have 15 ohm stamped onto the side of speakers. Vertical input. Groove tube el34m with premium embossed in red under el34 logo.

Marshall jmp 2150 el34 100w 1x12. Red standby switch with on and off in white embossed into switch instead of standard black switch. Broken Marshall logo in front of black grill that reads "shall." Ted weber sig speaker in back 50w 8ohm speaker. I'll send a pic. Power tubes Sovtek el34g. Preamp: one ecc83 in phase, Jan GE long black plate in bright position 1956. And GE 12ax7a/7025 short grey plates in normal.

Please contact if you have any information. Thanks!

Sh!!!ty. I couldnt imagine my gear getting stolen. I actually keep my guitar with me after a gig no matter where I go. Cant carry amps around like that. I hope your buddy gets it back or finds something better....

Yep, buddy normally has the amps covered so they are not visible, but made the mistake of having the bag with pedals visible. He didn't say what pedals were taken. He was parked in front of his girlfriend's house from what he said. He normally is fairly careful, plus his guitars were not in there (thankfully). But, yeah, it sucks. Marshall combos are a little less common than heads from that era, so I hope someone finds them. And WHO would do something stupid like burn the windows out of a jeep? I hope they find the person and kick their butt.

Anyhow, thanks for looking for his sake.
