Bit of a story to this one folks!
I own Martamp #7, a JTM45 replica, which was the very first JTM/JMP style Marshall amp that Martin built. I know Martin from the very early days of his business, as I was one of his first customers, so this amp has a lot of sentimental value to both him and I:
As a result, it's something that Martin would very much like to buy back and keep for himself if possible.
Fast forward to the end of last week, and Martin's own M45 quarter stack that he sold in August (to raise some cash for the business) came back up for sale. Having played it myself several times, and with it being in the right colour to match my guitars (!), I was tempted to buy it. A conversation with Martin, who is fortunately in a position to be able to buy #7 at the moment, and a three way deal has been done :D
This is my first 'used' Martamp, the first time I've owned Greenback speakers, and a classic sounding/looking JTM45 based rig. Not a bad little Christmas present to myself, and Martin gets one of his very early amps back. A fantastic result all round!
It should be with me at the end of the week, just in time for a rehearsal next Tuesday 8)
