A new one….

As long as you didn’t have the nerve to ask your dad for an amplifier, where did you plug your first electric guitar?

Good one! 
I'm not sure if ever told us when he actually got his first amp in the end, did he? The Fender Twin Reverb he used on the first album must have cost a pretty penny even in the 70s, so probably he had something cheaper before that?

I remember seeing a picture of him before DS playing a Selmer amp!
But was it a Twin used on the first album? I always figured it must've been John's Fender brown Vibrolux...

He got a selmer amp during Cafe Racers days. He said he put it on a chair for Cafe Racers gigs

Thinking of Jimi: has Mark ever tried to play a lefty guitar?

he tried to play a lefty tennis racket though 

but his sister Ruth told him to play the other way around 

[Pottel]

I'd ask him the following:
 - When he looks back on his musical career, which event stands out in his mind as being one of the most significant? Being asked to play for Bob Dylan, for example
 - Same as above, but what was the worst point (professionally) and why
 - If he could only keep one of his remaining guitars, which would it be?

nice one (or better, 3)!!

Who would he liked to share a stage with that he hasn’t had the opportunity to (both living and dead.)

I thought about that, too. The Great Big Band in the Sky.
