Marshall model 1990's big fat brother: the model 2034 8x10!!!

This is one of the coolest cabinets to haul around the country and hit the stages with. It is surprisingly light (well, compared to a refrigerator filled with two dozen sixpacks) but you would have more trouble and less groupies around lifting a Fender Twin onto the podium I can tell you that much!

It has the original grillcloth, tolex, handles, 8 x black Celestion 10inch 7442 speakers with original cones, wiring, serial tags etc. Castor wheels are replaced with original Marshall feet for extra stability.

Oh, yes: it just sounds amazing as it looks..

The Marshall 8x10 cabinets typically fell into two main variations based on their design, size, and intended use.

These cabinets are renowned for providing a punchy bass and articulate treble, favored by artists like Yes and often paired with 50Watt or 100Watt heads.

Two main types of Marshall 8x10s are:

1. Model 1990: a "Thin" or "Narrow" style 120W 8x10 Cabinet from the late 60's and early 70's. Typically closed-back with a massive, focused sound, often deemed a unique alternative to the standard 4x12.

• Design: These are late 60's or early 70's models, designed to be narrower - roughly matching the width of a small-box 50Watt Lead or Tremolo head.
• Features: The earliest ones in 1968 had Pinstripe grillcloth, followed by Basketweave in the late 60's and checkerboard in the early 70's, 8 x 10inch Celestion speakers (greenbacks in the early part of the decade, silver Celestion 7442's after that and finally black Celestion 7442's.
• Usage: These are highly sought after for their punchy, "three-dimensional" sound and are often associated with touring bands from that era, such as Yes.

2. Model 2034 (the one for sale): a Full-Width 160W Bass style 8x10 Cabinet from the early-late 70's

• Design: Early 70's with a larger, full-width cabinet that matched the dimensions of a standard Marshall 100Watt head, providing a much larger footprint.
• Features: Checkerboard grillcloth and 8 x 10" silver or black Celestion 7442's.
• Usage: Often constructed to accommodate more bass frequencies, these were sometimes used by bassists or guitarists seeking maximum low-end punch. Although originally designed for bass, they were frequently used for guitar, sometimes featuring particle board back panels in later 70s iterations to cut costs.
