Chris Holmes modded Marshall JMP Mark II 100watt Super Lead - $5000 (Louisville, KY)

Marshall JMP Mark II 100watt Super Lead owned by Eddie Van Halen and Chris Holmes.
Modded by Jose Arredondo.

In 2004, I was living in Cincinnati OH and obtained this Marshall Amp Head through trade
from Chris Holmes of the groups WASP, Sister, Animal, and Where Angels Suffer.

Chris lived in Cincy between 2002 and 2004 to join Randy Piper's group Animal.
I came to meet Chris through Randy who resided in Cincy from 1999 to 2008.
Chris obtained this amp from Eddie Van Halen in 1979 via a trade for an 1975 Ibanez Destoyer.
It was previously owned by the LA punk rock band The Dogs
at the Whiskey, Gazzari's and the Starwood clubs in the 70's.Eddie aquired the amp between 1978 and 1979 in England while on tour for Van Halen's debut.Chris aquired the amp in 1979 shortly after.
Chris used it as his main recording and touring Marshall.
It can be heard on every WASP record featuring him and on the single Animal *!#% Like A Beast.

The amp has the following modifications by Jose Arredondo.
Bias select switch for choosing between EL34 and 6550 tubes.
Impedance switch with two quarter inch jacks which allow the amp to be run at 8 or 16 Ohms.
Effects Loop with send control.

The amp is in good working order and has an amazing tone which resembles the early Van Halen recordings.
It features the original cloth tube retainers. The pictures proudly display the rigors and battlescars of the road, not
to mention the cool cigarette burns from Chris and Eddie Van Halen!!!
I also have a signed document from Chris Holmes verifying the history of the amp.

I would like to get around $5000 based on the amp's history. I hate to see it go but I've got bills.
Please call or text me at 513-675-1372 for further details regarding purchase.

If I made an EVH copy, I'd do the black & white version.


and for only $25 you can buy a shovel and go dig up Dimebag for a REAL EVH guitar.

Anybody can make their own.....

Just takes a decent body & Neck.....pups, hardware & electronics....& the patience to paint it yourself

The ORIGINAL "Frankenstart" is/was a "piece of shit"..............

Only a fool would pay $20,000 for a replica.....

Ok, it's no longer too soon, but that's pretty fucked up.

That place does get some high end guitars from time to time. We had a original 1962 Strat that was in mint condition (for the most part) that went for a little over 8 grand and a really nice Chuck Berry ES335 for about $1,600.
