Re payment for gear. I read an interview with Mark at Ashdown and he said that u2, Foo fighters etc, pay for their gear. Did they pay the full price, does Guy Pratt pay full whack for his gear when he pops up in their adverts?
When I bought a MAG 300 combo in 2005, I got it because it was a good price and had a decent amount of power. 10 years later, i`m still using Ashdown gear. Gotta be worth an endorsment by now
