Jimi's number 1 Marshall Plexi for £65...

After Hendrix's death, a roadie disposed of his gear through the Carlsbro Sound Centre of Mansfield. I seem to recall there was little interest - maybe the stigma of death , superstition or simply the thought of plugging into that circuit with the very same KT66s Jimi had used.

 

Would that thinking get in the way of a 'fast buck' nowadays ?

 

An advert was placed in the August '71 edition of Melody Maker, and Rich Dickinson bought the amp for £65 plus postage.

And the sale at Christies. I wonder if he kept those KT66 valves ?
