Didn't Billy Gibbons record "My Head's in Mississippi" with a Marshall Lead 12?

I'm somehow struggling to sell the bigger brother - Lead combo 30 for £75.... what I thought was a bargain.

I honestly think its worth 3 times that from sounds alone, so I'd say yes but buy for you and not for money.

Mike had one of these I believe.....

Thanks guys! I bought that one on Ebay. Were all the Lead 12 amps made in England?

Yep. It's the newer low-end Marshalls (like the valvestate, MG, MA, Haze) that are made in the east. I think the Class 5 is made in the UK.

The original micro stack (which has since been reissued in MG form) had a Lead 12 head... they also made them in silver jubilee, red, white and plexi/jmp aesthetics back then.
