🎸 1978 MARSHALL 2195 100W LEAD & BASS AMPLIFIER HEAD 🎸

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ MADE IN ENGLAND β€’ VINTAGE MARSHALL β€’ SERIOUS OLD-SCHOOL CHARACTER

Here we have a proper piece of British amplification history β€” a Marshall Model 2195 100 Watt Lead & Bass head, dating from 1978.

And just look at it. πŸ‘€

The brushed gold control panel, cream Marshall script, oversized red power switch and wonderfully aged hardware give this exactly the sort of presence you want from a genuine late-70s Marshall.

This is not a modern reissue trying to look old. The marks, patina and signs of use have been earned over nearly five decades.

⭐ CONDITION

This is a genuine vintage amplifier and naturally carries cosmetic wear consistent with its age and working life.

Please study the photographs carefully β€” we’ve deliberately photographed the head closely rather than trying to hide anything.

You’ll see:

* Age-related marks and scratches to the gold front panel

* Wear and patina to the metal corner protectors

* Cosmetic marks to the rear chassis

* Wear to the handle end caps/hardware

* Various small marks to the original-style black covering

* General vintage wear throughout

But importantly, the character is all there. It looks exactly like a late-’70s Marshall should look rather than something that has spent its entire existence wrapped in cotton wool.

πŸ”₯ Vintage Marshall. Made in England. 100 watts. Nearly 50 years old.

Whether you’re putting together a period rig, adding an unusual Marshall to a collection, or simply want an amplifier with considerably more personality than another modern black box, the 2195 Lead & Bass deserves a look.
