i bought a bad catIIr 15w amp. great amp and very polished, its so hard to get a bad sound out of it and very easy to get great sounds out of it. it has a really warm tone and never gets in your face. i did try a fender 57 RI bassman and a 65 RI super reverb next to the bad cat, and they both...

guys i was also told that shops dont discount mesa amps- fortunately thats not always the case, while i was looking around i was told by someone that the distributors needed to move amps and they were willing to discount. it just depends who you ask.

thats why i didnt buy one, but if you can afford it its a great amp to have sitting there just for that magic clean tone.

i dont wonna mess around with getting amps made, there is a local guy here that makes ulbrick amps and effects, he modded my marshall and services it as well, i could get something made from him, but i played one of his amps and well it didnt do that much for me-great amp but no magic. i know a...

yes very tough choices, im doing lots of research and lots of testing too so all good so far. the other amps you mentioned are hard to get in australia so i got to go for something that i can get serviced here and also get parts for. even buying a bad cat is risky here, we dont get the service...

just another update, i tried a bad cat cub II 30r, it rocks- its the 30w version. wow what an amp. this amp has better headroom than the lone star special and better note separation. the tone of it is great all round but it does need a peddle to get it sounding heavy or dirty (its only a one...

well if i can get hold of one id buy a JJ matchless amp but they are hard to get over here in australia and worth a lot of money. im yet to try a bad cat out so i cant wait. if money was no object id buy that and also have a LSS- just because it can be incredibly sweet sounding.

ok here is the update, in my quest to change my tone im now looking at bad cat amps, ive heard some reallly good things about them and lucky for me the music shop i tried the lonstar has them so ill get a side by side comparison. if the LSS didnt get muddy i wouldve bought it in a heart beat...

ok after some more research lol, my choices have increased :(, lonestar S. fender super sonic matchless chieften fender 65 deluxe reverb (R.I) anyone have any comments on any of these other amps?

therazmeister, have you tried the supersonic? what a pain in the *** it is just to get a new amp, well only because im buying something that will last me for ages.

if i do end up buying a LLS ill change the valves for sure, there must be something good about those JJs if everyone is talking about them. mick do you gig with your setup? update: fender have released a new amp called super-sonic, seems interesting.

http://www.fender.com./products/search.php?partno=2160500400 this amp might have potential. while i was looking and researching amps my choice has come down to this so far. mesa lonestar special and fender super-sonic.

ive only tried the 1 x12 and i noticed the muddiness as well(even in chanel 1), it does stand out especialy when your used to playing marshalls that stay clean when needed. i also found the note sepperation wasnt that good. guitarvet pls keep us posted as this is my main concern at the moment.

ok i did a big music shop test on the LSS and WOW!!! they decided now not to lone me the lonestar to take home (the junior sales man made a mistake GRRR) so i went the music shop and while waiting to set it up i had a good talk with the sales man there (who is a also a working / recording...

roundaboutmusic, did you buy it from billy hydes music ? im trying to get one from them atm. also i forgot to ask you what style of music do you play?

LSCMan that amp looks amazing- how does it compare to the lonestar lol i know you pushed it aside :) so its quite obvious but i couldnt help asking.

is that $1799 for the 2x12 then add tax to that of 8.25%? if i lived in the states i would have so much stuff- i love australia but when it comes down to gear we get shafted big time in choice and value. do mesa boogie do tours of the factory? that would be interesting to check out. my ex GF...

the price is for AU dollars- our dollar hovers around 75% of yours so we suffer a little there but the biggest hit is import duty, then take out transport fees. plus our amps have to run on different power so im not sure how much extra that costs mesa to do. ive been checking on ebay too for SH...

does it ever suck!! - i think it might have to do with price and backing the 5 year warranty here would cost too much money. oh well it still isnt gonna stop me lol. ill let my ears judge this little beast. edit: this is his reply via email. Hello Bill, The Lonestar series amps are awesome...

update, i havent picked up my lone amp yet but i sent a few emails around and found out that mesa boogie only offers 12 month warranty in Australia!!! GRRRR we get shafted in price and now in warranty - this amp better be special.
