Original HENDRIX Marshall for Sale!!!!!!!!

JTM45 · #1 03-16-2005, 05:29 PM

Did anyone else see this amp for sale on *bay? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it wasn't the genuine article at first but it appears that the guy selling it has received further information that authenticates it as being one of Jimi's Original Marshall Super-Lead 100 Heads.

Currently at £12500 and rising!!! He paid £70 for it in 1971. What a great buy! Apparently it was sold by one of Hendrixs' Roadies to the Carlsboro Sound Centre in the UK after Jimi's death because the guy was owed pay and thought he'd recoup his money by selling one of Jimi's Marshalls.

I reckon it'll either end up in the States or it'll be bought by Jim Marshall (hopefully!). It'd be a GREAT thing to own for sure...........

It's Auction Number 7306711140. Definitely worth a look!

The seller posted on forums on another site. From his post, I think it's fake though.

It was owned by Jimi, it's gonna' look a bit raped.

The amp is now in the hands of Marshall. The owner has 'come to an agreement' with Jim Marshall where-by it will stay at Marshall for the time being while all the evidence is gathered and I'm betting that Marshall may well offer him a wadge of cash for it. Apparently they've even offered to make the guy an exact replica to use while the original is with them!

If Marshall are getting excited about it I reckon it's 99.9% that it's gonna' turn out to be the real deal. There's no reason to think otherwise really. All the evidence is pointing to it being authentic and I think it'll be really cool if it does get fully authenticated.

Even if it's not Jimi's, it's still a pretty cool machine...

If Jim Marshall was openly bidding for it, he's got info that is indisputable....

...no other amp has a history like Marshall :^)

That amp has defenitely seen some gigs either way! What a kool piece of history if it is real.

Looks like it's authentic

There is a note on there now to say it is back up for sale, impressive piece of history indeed!
I wonder if the offer's have got near the expected price yet? i saw some of the news saying it was expected to fetch a Million, i suppose that is possible given that it was the 1st One Hendrix owned......

To me, this discovery equates to finding Tut's burial tomb.

I know..... I'm a sick puppy.

ya, i saw in guitar world about it, after the dude got a bid over 22,000 , he took it of **** and got in touch with marshall, marshall is guna make him a exact replica of the amp so he can still play and get the same sound that he did out of the original, and they are guna buy it from him if it turns out to be the real thing, if it turns out to be the real deal it is sed to be the first musical piece from the great jimi
