Dan Dare Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Never got all this "Ex famous name, £145 squillion" nonsense. It's just a mass produced and ordinary amp, guitar or whatever. The fact that Spiggy Tope has dribbled over it makes no bloody difference whatsoever. Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bay Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It's simple, there are a small number of people in the world with more money than they know what to do with. So do they use it to fund research to cure cancer? Help the poorest in the third world? Fund space exploration to further mankind? Nope, they buy trinkets to try and out do one another.

timmo Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 If they have the cash to buy it, then fair play to them if that is what they like to spend it on. I guess most of us has spent cash on needless stuff we could have given to charity instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikel Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Its a bit of musical history, I suppose. Auction it for charity would be my call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I would [b]certainly [/b]like a cure for my cancer!! And I'm fascinated by space expoloration. But I wouldn't mind owning some of Jimi's gear (if it's for real) - not sure I would pay this much though, even if I had the money.

uk_lefty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Don't entirely get it. If Jimi was a personal friend or he gave it to me, sure it would be great. But saying to visitors, hey this is Hendrix's amp!! And there's no story behind it other than I was appallingly rich enough to buy it, it's just not so good a story.

arthurhenry Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hendrix's first ever Marshall head fetched £20,000 at auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 If I had the money I deliberately [i]wouldn't[/i] buy it because [i]not[/i] buying it would make me look good to people I've never met who don't like the idea that we live in a society where the rich can buy whatever they want. Being rich might be nice but looking good to people one has never met is reward in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Provenance is a bizarre thing. As some of you will now, there's a regular auction of musical instruments at Gardiner Houlgate, Corsham...in the last sale, a small blister pack of wood shavings from an acoustic guitar 'used by Jimi Hendrix' sold for close to £500. Stupid people. Stupid people everywhere. http://guitar-auctions.co.uk/portfolio-post/lot-447-jimi-hendrix-wood-shavings-from-the-1960s-zemaitis-12-string-acoustic-guitar-used-by-jimi-hendrix-in-1967/ Edited March 19, 2017 by NancyJohnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Funnily enough i've read and heard that hendrix didn't even like his sunn rig. He preferred the marshalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
