Title: David Marks' Showman Amp
Post by: DSalter on January 09, 2015, 08:07:31 PM
fyi - there is an interesting chapter in Deke Dickerson’s new book “The Strat In The Attic -2” about guitarist Pete Curry purchasing an early 60s, used, blonde Fender Showman amplifier in an old guitar store for $600 only to discover when he changed the tubes that it had originally belonged to David Marks. The book features a photo of the amp and is an enjoyable read if you like vintage guitars.

I just noticed that Amazon lets you preview for free a portion of the book on its site, which includes the entire chapter about the amp.
