Dave/Markus haven't made a bigger deal out of it, given the rarityof Mark
Vs over the (relatively) commonplace M400. Anyone seen/heard one?Andy T.
Greetings, Thanks for the tip George and Andy.....
Didn't know aboutit either until I looked moments ago.A MK-VI with longercapstan and dual valve preamps?
Or two MK-VI'sattached together , as in my custom
built JKMK6 ,built in 1998-2001 . Dunno.
....some investigation,enquirieshere are in order.....The MK-V fromSound Sales CT, was a demo unit.
Bill Eberlinebrought that one with him from DMI, NJ
in 1976 . It finally resided in his living-room in
Cornwall Bridge,CT . Was borrowed by Neil Diamond
for use on "LoveAt The Greek" live LP . That instrument
has been theproperty of Pierre Veilleux of Montreal
since 1995 orthereabouts......Hope this helps. -- JK--
