Just got my grubby mitts on a Gretsch 6120 Rev. Horton Heat... Man, what an axe!! Sounds incredible through my Mk II!!

It was time for my rig to get a new set of tubes (Pre and Power); after checking out TAD, The Tube Store, and Tube Depot, I decided on a set of JJ KT-66's. Both JJ's website and Tube Depot suggest trying them in Mesa amps for a different vibe... Aside from a few cracles and pops initially, and...

Was watching a live Blues Brothers video for one of the songs off of "Briefcase Full Of Blues" album, and noticed that The Colonel looked to be playing what appeared to be Mark II with a 15"... Can't see any up close details, such as the EQ (Looks like it's there, doesn't appear to say Mesa)...

Just ran across this beauty on Fleabay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mesa-Boogie-Mark-II-b-15-JBL-/281699976703?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4196a085ff Oddly enough, my Mk II combo also came with a JBL D-130F. Being that Mesa got a lot of parts from Fender in the early days, does anyone know if...

My Boogie Brethren, I have come to pick your minds, and seek out your wisdom... I have the opportunity to get my grubby paws on an '80's Halfback, but haven't been able to find any up for sale to get a ballpark price. Can you guys give me any idea what the going rate is on these now? I know...

http://www.emeraldcityguitars.com/product/robin-savoy-custom/ Despite what the website says, this is a Savoy Classic, and, OMG... This guitar is a MONSTER! Don't let the gorgeous flame fool you; she breathes fire! The Rio Grande Genuine Texas and BBQ Bucker are two of the sweetest sounding...

Greetings and Salutations my fellow Boogie Brothers and Sisters, I wish you greater tone for the New Year! Ok, enough of the BS. :lol: I noticed recently that when I switch to the Lead channel, the reverb seems to disappear. I thought maybe it was because of the footswitch, but the same...

Bad axe. Magic through the Mk II!! http://www.fender.com/guitars/stratocaster/fsr-american-standard-stratocaster-v-neck-rosewood-fingerboard-mystic-3-color-sunburst/ Oh man, what a sound! http://www.fender.com/series/american-standard/american-standard-telecaster-rosewood-fingerboard-natural/

Just got offered TWO brand new American made Fender guitars; a FSR Strat, and a Am. Std. Tele in trade for my Mk V combo... I might have to go there. Only because I still have the Mk. II, which ain't going NOWHERE.

I think I toasted a power tube while playing Ch 1 in Fat mode... The volume dropped, and there was a slight burnt smell; but the amp stayed on. Thoughts?

I have a Comanche that absolutely smokes through my Boogies... Any other "Other Fender" lovers out there?

Got an email yesterday with a link to this article; I was hoping that it would be insightful, but apparently these cats didn't take the time to flip the switch, or tweak any knobs... How can you not discuss or describe the plethora of tones that these early amps are capable of; especially the...

When did Mesa receive the patent for the Mark II design? Does that make the Patent Pending amps a wee more collectable?

Just scored a sweet Cream (Pardon the pun) '78 Mk II 1x15 60/100 combo (Non EQ) in Salt Lake City! Unfortunately, it doesn't have the original speaker, but it does have a vintage JBL D130F which sounds pretty **** good; it's my understanding that these speakers only handle between 35-50 watts. I...

I just switched over to some EH 6CA7 tubes, and noticed the red light over the bias switch was on... Kinda hard to tell if this light is a warning, or if it's just to say that the amp is in EL-34 mode. It did seem that the amp was running a bit hotter... Gonna try the old tubes, and see what...

I figure it was time to retube my Mk V since it was 3 years old, and I did buy it used; I decided to try out some EH 6CA7 tubes instead of regular EL-34's, and it is a completely different animal!! OMG. I am thoroughly, completely, and utterly madly in love with the sounds that are coming out...

As much as I love my Mk V combo, I had to try it with an EV 12-L for that classic Boogie tone... However, (Here's where I needs help) there isn't much room between the two middle tubes and the magnet... I think moving it will take a bit of extra care, but my concern is the magnetic pull on the...

Is this the answer for all the guys looking to get some "Marshallness" out of their Mark V's? After 35 years of playing, and 25 of those years being a Marshall Guy... (We won't count the distortion boxes I've had) I think this is one of the greatest pedals out right now. The Xotic R&D guys...

Has anyone got one of these in front of their Boogie? Your thoughts??

There's a hand written date to the left of my serial number plate. Is this a Mesa Boogie thing, or did someone autograph this amp??
