    Calling Mesa!! Ordering direct?

    I bought my Mk III head (used) from Guitar Source, not a bad store, better than a freakin' Guitar Center!

    Mark III Tone.....

    Why use an eq pedal, when the onboard 5-band eq is, in my opinion, far superior to the GE-7 in terms of maintaining the tone, warmth and natural character of the amp, which in my experience, the GE-7 takes away. I've tried the GE-7 in a couple of different amps: a Marshall JCM 900 Master Volume...

    Mark III Tone.....

    Congrats! :D the Mk III is a underapriciated & very kickass amp. I have an '85 no-stripe simulclass long head that I either play through a Marshall 1960AV 4-12 cab or a Mesa 1-12 half open back long cab with a C90. Is your Mk III a Simulclass, 60/100, or a 60 watter? If it is a...

    PRS stoptail bridges

    Ahh...That kinda blows, so if i wanted to use different gauge strings than what PRS puts on them, or if i opt to use a diferent tuning than standard, I can forget about having good intonation. Disapointing for a guitar that costs that much. I mean, the vintage Telecasters have the 3 saddle...

    PRS stoptail bridges

    I always wondered about these. Is there any way to adjust the intonation on the PRS stoptails like whats on the McCarty models? It does not appear that any intonation adjustment is possible on these....

    Boss GE-7

    My experience with the GE-7 in the effects loop is that it makes the tone sound dead & lifeless. I tried putting mine in the effects loop of my 60 watt Mk IIb combo (no 5 band eq) to try to tame the mid's, and it just kinda made the sound take on an almost solid state characteristic, made the...

    Why did they stop making the MKIIC+ so early?

    I would assume that if they did reissue the Mk II C+, that it would be a run-away seller & be very profitable for Mesa. Unless they are unable to mfg the C+ due to the possible unavailability of certain crucial components, I don't understand why they won't. Maybe they are concerned that it...

    Which Trem do you like better?

    I don't recall ever playing a guitar equipped with a Lo-Pro, but I own a couple of guitars with the normal Floyd Rose style double locking tremolo. (An Ibanez RG-550 with the Edge Pro trem & an 80's Kramer Pacer with a real Floyd.) I don't know if one would sound better than the other. As far...

    Laney amps

    I'm not really concerned about getting something that sounds exactly like my Boogie Mk III, I would actually rather have something that sounds different for some variety. But the thing that intrigues me about the Laney is not only the value, but that I've heard it said that they do sound alot...

    Are V30's really that good as people say

    When you compare them to a speaker like the Celestion G12-75T, the V-30's , in my opinion, sound better. They do have more midrange, and have a warmer sound. When you hit them halfway hard they purr like a kitten. While the G12-75T's have a nice presence to them, they seem to have a colder...

    Laney amps

    I'm thinking about picking up one to use possible back-up to my Mk III. I've noticed they go fairly cheap on ebay. I may try to pick up one of the AOR series heads that they made in the late 80's. I've read favorable reviews on Harmony Central about them. Anyone here have any experiences...

    The Ultimate Practice Amp?

    I've used a Korg ToneWorks amp modeler plugged into computer speakers (Altec Lansings w/ sub) for use as a practice amp before, & it got the job done.

    EVH is back!!!!!!

    Anyone know what the specs are for that new EVH amp? Is it another high gain 6L6 loaded amp like the Peavey 5150's were?

    Speaker/Cabinet suggestions

    I play my Mk III through either a Vintage 30 loaded Marshall 4x12 cab (the 1960AV) or a half open back Mesa 1x12 with a Black Shadow/Celestion 90. Both have different characteristics but still sound good. It depends on what sound your after. If you ae considering getting a Celestion G12T-75...

    Dead Mark III

    A year ago I paid $650 for a working MkIII Simulclass long head. Peronaly, I wouldn't give more than $200 for a non working MkIII.

    If Only We knew!

    I had a '74 Gibson Flying V that I had a repaired broken headstock that I let go for cheap about 12 years ago. And I remember about 16 years ago, when I was shopping for my first "pro" guitar, seeing 70's Fender 3 bolt Strats going for about $300 and 70's LesPauls going for less than $500...

    Playing guitar in an apartment

    I've also had decent results playing through a Korg Ampworks modeler through computer speakers, with a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter. Still not as cool as a real tube amp!

    I have bad GAS!!!

    I've been considereing getting MIDI preamp (Like a used ADA MP-1, Triaxis might be a bit too costly, even used ) and running a rack system for live shows just for the MIDI convience of MIDI. Theoretically, I can link it to my partner's sequencer for all the program changes, I really wouldn't...
