Bo Diddley-Owned 100w Marshall Super Bass Amp on eBay

According to the owner this Marshall Super Bass amp was owned by Bo Diddley and was last gigged in 2001 before it was sold to a music store, Mancini Music, GA.

This red 100w Super Bass head and 4 x 12 slant cabinet is apparently from 1969 or 1970, and bears Bo's signature on the head's top.  

At a Buy It Now of a buck shy of 10 grand, this amp is being priced as an authentic piece formerly owned by a rock n' roll legend and Hall of Famer.

But Bo Diddley and other guitarists of his generation used to play on a lot of rental equipment on the road.  And you don't want to be saddled with what could possibly be just a rental amp that bears his signature.  Ask for the necessary letters of provenance before committing.  I'm just sayin'..

Item number: 180496455182
