So whose was it?


Assuming Argent doesn't own his own M400 (you'd think Martin would know), my
guess is that they hired it from John Henrys, London's main hire co. I was
lucky enough to have a guided tour around the place from John himself
earlier this year - a full-on vintage kit drool-fest, although most of their
gear (all types) is more current. They've even got Jon Lord's black MkII
(though not for hire), which they reckon 'just about powers up'.
