I've got probably the worst guitar to use then, because my main guitar (which sounds fantastic) is a Fender Strat with all sing coil pickups.
I don't know if the previous model (amp) has effects on it (big gimmick) but becuse I have an ever growing home studio I have been running things through it, using it as an effects processor. The bass is good but pittifull compared to the jcm 2000. I have just finnished doing my second tour in a Jimi Hendrix tribute band and while I'm on tour I use the Marshall Jcm 2000, which is packed full of valves, tone, power and life and then when I come back to home I have to use the mg 100.
I might just start micing up some earphones that'll probably be louder and sound better. - Ben
