[center][color=#ff0000][size=8][u][b][font=georgia, serif]SOLD[/font][/b][/u][/size][/color][/center]

Power handling: 400 Watts RMS
Impedance: 8 Ohms
Speakers: 4 x Celestion G10H-100

The 1540 was one of Marshall’s ‘Integrated Bass System’ cabinets made between the mid ‘80’s and the early ‘90’s to complement the 3500 series transistor bass amplifiers, and features a closed-back design with a central port. Sometimes referred to as the ‘Jubilee’ series (the 1987 year models were finished in silver Tolex to celebrate the company’s 25th. Anniversary) the IBS models were renowned for their high-spec components and top build quality.

This cabinet is, as far as I can tell, totally original and in very good condition with no tears to the Tolex or other damage to the cabinet or the internals, with the four interlocking ’feet’, two recessed carrying handles and all protective corners being present and in good order. The tough metal speaker grille has a small area where the paint is peeling… easily fixed with a tin of Hammerite.

The sound is, as you might expect from a 4x10, tight and punchy… but in an ‘old school’ kind of way. Great on it’s own, greater with another 1540 or possibly even greater paired with a 1515 (1x15”)… if you can find one!

Please note: [b]COLLECTION ONLY[/b]… I’m not prepared to put this bad boy in the post!
