That sucks - it should be out there in the wild, being played. Bit worried about what condition it's going to be in after being an exhibit too.

Wish I'd had this beastie about 15 years ago when I was in a Stone Roses tribute band. Would have shut up the purist fans who always wanted that bit more. Very cool.

Ps. Anyone know what amp Mani used back then? I'm guessing an ampeg.

All the early TV appearances show him playing a Laney head, and two 4x12 laney cabs. In 1990 he definitely used Mesa Boogie, which he also used for the second coming tour, and recording.

Thats all i know.
