Vintage 1976 Marshall Lead Bass 50 2×12 Amplifier Suzi Quatro
Vintage 1976 Marshall Lead Bass 50 2×12 Amplifier Suzi Quatro
I recently had the honour of purchasing a few items from the collection of Suzi Quatro, and her son Richard Tuckey. This amplifier has been confirmed in writing by Suzi and Leonard that it was used on various recordings between 1977 and 1980 (included in the sale). A true piece of history! Besides from this incredible history, these amplifiers were mail order only, so a rare amplifier in itself. This is the Lead & Bass 50w Combo, dating to 1976. The amplifier comes complete with the two G12M Celestion T1221 12″ speakers dating to April 1976.
The 2x EL34 valves are CVC branded, and the 3x ECC83s are too. The three transformers sound awesome, although one has been replaced this year (before I purchased it) for a perfect Dagnall replacement. Cosmetically it is in very good condition, as you can see, with hardly any marks at all. There is even a set of working castors underneath! You’ll not be disappointed in this one for sure. Please check out the pictures below as these form part of our description.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
