The swinging 1960s was an era of change and musical exploration, and all the equipment produced in this period had to be cutting edge to keep up with so many directions in music - from the The Four Seasons to Cream with Eric Clapton.

So the 1963 Fender Stratocaster had to have that ‘twang’ for Hank Marvin, the power and sreaming feedback sustain for Jimi Hendrix. The invention of the 1966 Marshall JTM45 head with a massive Marshall 4 x 12 speacker cabinet provided the high power plus edge needed for the likes of Otis Reading to Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac.

For the bass guitarist the Fender Precision bass was used by John Entwhistle of the Who to the Beach Boys, the 1964 Selmer treble and bass 50 head with the 1 x 18 Goliath speaker cabinet was a must for the bass player of the Yardbirds and the Animals, and the 1963 Ludwig Black Oyster drum kit was used by Ringo Star in the Beatles and Keith Moon of the Who.
