I bought a Fender Prosonic combo earlier this year. I noticed the initials M.A.B. written in green marker on one of the speakers, the reverb unit and the footswitch. I did find the name Mel Brown written in the same green marker on the inside of the amp. I am curious if the amp was owned by someone famous or simply just someone who liked to mark their posessions? The music store I bought the amp from did not know the previous owner.

The former Spice girl? :lol:

Mel Brown, the blues guitarist is quite famous (don't know his middle initial). He played with Sonny Boy Williamson, BB King, T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, SRV, Etta James, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and many more. He also had about a dozen of his own albums. Died in 2009. Now if you could only find a pic or video with Mel using a Prosonic..... :idea:

There must be countless people named Mel Brown. Good luck finding out which one initialed your amp.
