Hi all,

I had good fortune to spend a few minutes talking to DaveCousins and John Hawken last night prior to a gig and I asked about the trons.Dave said they had the 2 M400’s painted black during most of the mid 70’s(one of which I have) but then said they also had one of the big twin manualsone’s as well. John nodded and said “oh yes that was the reallyheavy one”. I asked if it was a MkV and Dave yes he thought so. This wasa bit of a surprise but unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to ask anymore. Does anyone know if they did have a Mk V or MkII? If they did when didthey use it? John is using the Pinder samples on stage but he blends them withsomething else.

 

Cheers

John
