A loaded Hardwood Combo with accurate reproduction parts it would be priced at $7500

They must have disconnected they're telephone service when I ordered mine.I ordered my amp while they were making the IIC+ what I got was a strange 3 channel job that was one of the first MkIII's.They should have at least called me I was never happy with at amp.

FedEx always Denys the claim hoping you will go away.They have a low life way of handling claims on things they destroy. They collect insurance but then say it’s not really insurance it’s liability coverage then avoid paying for what they ruined. If FedEx packed it then the FedEx packing...

I am not really a buy and sell guy..I buy intending to keep. Everything has a reason to have been sold. A 1989 Prototype (A) J200 made in 1988 by Ren Ferguson and an assistant in the summer before the factory was built that was shown at NAMM January 1989.That was regretful, cause it developed a...

I think these Mark Amps have just gotten too complicated.Too many knobs. Who needs 3 Channels in my view. I had an early Mark lll the Rythmn 2 was terrible. I have a Mark IV and it's always the clean and the gain set at the one best sound and I never mess will all those controls..when the amp...

I think my first amp was the probably the best amp in the world..a Marshall 50 Watt Head Metal Face Plexi with Marshall 4x12 Cabinet from a friend who bought it new a couple of years before.That 1974 or 1975 that I got it. My father re united with my mother and he was taking the whole family to...

Is the C+ Mod's main feature is that Metallica type of sound ? In my day the main appeal to getting a Mesa Boogie was the Santana Europa sound.

I ordered my Mesa Boogie while they were making the Mark IIC+ in the 80's direct from them. When I got the Amp it looked different and didn't have the almost any Reverb which I expected and described in Catalog as "drenching Reverb" I called and they said they sent me the new model with the...

Thanks..Yes I would want it for resale value as at most I have two decades left I am thinking. But if it is modded correctly and I would like the original Boogie Sylvania Tubes dispite the stupid price on them.I just really don't want to unscrew the thing out of there..and ship it across the...

Only semi regret.. I sold it because it was not very loud and I lost half my hearing in my right ear. I used the money to buy a Martin D28A 1941 Madagascar Authentic and a Baker Stately Homes Walnut Kneehole Desk that I loved that was discontinued just when I was going to order one in 1992. It...

So they have stopped doing mods and don't offer help.. lay out plan or parts to do it...? Maybe it is time to call them.

I have been reluctant to unscrew the thing out of there pack & mail this to the other end of the country so now that Boogie isn't doing Mods on Amps any more I have some questions. *Years ago Doug West said to me that the Mark IIC Amp was built around the old Sylvania Tubes. Anyone using or had...

Is the Modification well documented by Boogie so that a Technician can follow it accurately?..I thought only Boogie's Mike B did it but I just couldn't bring myself to unscrew it out of body..risk transit damage and spend to send it to the other end of the country and back from New Jersey.

Hi..3rd Party as in who ?

True..the parts in those amps were not made by Fender for the most part they were kind of standard stuff. If I needed a replacement part for a Bassman I'd contact Victoria or repair guy would get compatible from manufacturer or maybe from Fender who have part only because they are making a...
