Title: Help with kit vs. parts question Post by: Hassouni on June 08, 2008, 11:35:27 PM Hi everyone, I'm seriously considering getting one of the Marshall 50 or 100w clones, and there's some confusion. Let me just paste my email to Nik:
On the 1987 Plexi, for example, Package 2 is $530, with assembled board, front plate, rear plate, chassis, choke, OT, PT. But when I go to the parts, the assembled board, chassis, front and rear plates, and transformers + choke come up to $360. Why the discrepancy? Does the kit require less assembly? Nik responded that the $360 "doesnt include pots knobs selectors, can caps, iec socket, jacks, etc etc etc." Does all that stuff add up to $170? What else is required for one of the amps? Thanks!

I'll bet it does. They may only seem like small parts, but just think about the cost of new knobs/scratchplates etc for a strat - I easily got to £100 when I changed the look of my strat and there are more parts to make up an amp... |
