Thats "Richards" with an "s". They certainly know how to research a subject!
I wonder if its IS actually signed like that?
And to those with the spare cash and for whom these things matter - what is the provenance that this amp was actually USED on the "Reunion" tour and not sat backstage or in the truck for the whole of the Tour. AFAIK, the amps gave good performance and didnt fail.
How many did they take on Tour and did they rotate them so all the amps got used at some point or other?
Photgraphic provenance? How? They all look the same!
cheers

The owner of Music Ground does own a gold tooth you know. He's larger than life and so are his vintage prices; the shop is a treasure trove of vintage gear.

all the way to the bank.

I purchased one 50 Anniversary Shadows amp in September and the amp was delivered in Oktober. This amp
is not handsigned on top panel but has Tayen speakers and the same specs as the tour amps and sounds great.
The money I paid for it was more than OK. Far away from 5 ... of the handsigned pieces !!!
American brands like Bogner amps, etc. are in comparison to the JMI range not cheaper. We shouldn`t forget
that the JMI amprange is a reissue as close as possible to the original amps from the 60`s!
I do not use the amp for gigging. My current ampset is a JVM 410 Marshall halfstack. Yesterday I played my
( old ) Tele through the JMI - OH god what a sound !!!
