13.45 A pal has enquired if the Fender Twin for sale on E-Bay was actually mine.
The seller’s comment… This auction is for my beloved ’73 Fender Twin amplifier.I bought it 3 years ago from Don Strikes in Westbourne, B’mouth who sold this on for Tony Arnold of ’Arnies Shack’ recording studio. Fripp recorded much of his material there, and this is the amp he used.
Don Strike was my main guitar teacher. His shop is now run by his family. The amp belonged to Arny’s Shack and was part of the studio’s available resources. I used this on some sessions, but it was not my personal property nor the only amp I used.
