Lot Essay
These two Marshall JCM 2000 amplifier heads were each used by Jeff Beck for live performances during the 2000s. The DSL100W head, like the upper DSL50W head in the custom rack (see lot 69), is a prototype model sent by Marshall to Jeff Beck – the prototype status denoted by the peach-coloured dot stickers to the fascia. The amp saw extensive use in 2010, including the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on 1 May, Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Illinois on 26 June, Tollwood Festival in Germany on 17 July with Joe Bonamassa, and Molde International Jazz Festival in Norway on 22 July. The peach stickers are instantly recognisable in photos taken during Jeff’s rendition of the U.S. National Anthem before the Detroit Tigers vs. Arizona baseball game at Comerica Park in Detroit on 20 June.
