I actually posted a query on Mesa Boogie Facebook page and had some replies. Regretably as I'm using the computer during my lunchtime in work, I can't get access to FB

Mesa certainly do have a sense of humour. On the back of the amp there is a warning "Do not expose this unit to rain, moisture or thieves" :lol:

Good Bait - GB - Great Britain? Nurse more medication!! :)

Ha yeah I don't post much but when I do "it's a good 'un" :lol:

Cheers Dom I bought the amp second hand a good few years ago and use it for larger venues - 'cos it's **** loud!! It's not bothering me in itself and I love the tone. My mate is a professional amp tech and stocks Sovtek tubes so I can get "mates rates" on them - I guess I'll revalve the 12 ax...

Here's the photos Sometimes when something degenerates over a period of time it's difficult to say if the amps tone is somewhat compromised. It was certainly noisy the other night when the amp was switched on.

Sure thing - have the Olympus Digi SLR charging now and will post later. Thanks for the reply.

Took the F50 (combo) out of it's case as I want to do some cleaning on the valve bases. The amp still has the Mesa 12 AX 7 tubes in there and I notice that V2's valve is black at the head of the tube whereas the others are silver? However when I took the chassis out I notice that written on...

So I experienced Mesa Customer Service for the first time and I was impressed to say the least - I had a reply from them that very same day which I think I'll share with the forum. They said... Initially the F-series amps left the factory with no logo and later adopted the Mesa/Boogie badge...

Hey thanks for the pointer - I have joined up, and met a fellow Ernie Ball forumite who seems to be a bit of an expert!!

Hi Elif thanks for your very informative reply. There's a whole load of stuff onthat link you sent me - I'll take a better look tonight. Cheers Spud

I don't know - the dimensions are 9 1/2" x 22 1/2" x 18 3/4" or 24 cm x 57 cm x 48 cm is that a wideboy?

^ I'm going to have to put it through the speaker in my Marshall - a G12 Vintage Celestion and se how it works out. I like the cleans and find the treble no problem. A mate of mine has an F50 and he's changed the speaker too - I'll have to find out what he put in his. Wanna sell your speaker...

Here's (not a very good) picture of mine showing the non boogie badge - anybody know why ?

OK so this is my first post having become the proud owner of an F50. What a wonderful amp it is. I've been hanging around on the Ernie Ball Forums a lot because of my passion for their Albert Lee guitars. Anyway my question is (and please be gentle with a newbie!) why does my F50 have the Mesa...
