I've got the following: MKIIC+ (modded), MKVII, MKV25, LSS combo, Fillmore 50 combo, Electra-Dyne (and a 20/20 and Rosette). The Fillmore is in some ways my favorite Mesa. Easy to dial in, always sounds great and fantastic clean and crunch tones. I get more compliments on that amp than any...

This, today: Mark V90 Headshell hello are you still looking for Mark V90 Headshell, i am in a PR group which deals in this particular parts. you can contact bill on ''[email protected]'' if its still available this particular parts

I have a Mark VII head and a host of other Mesa amps. I do use it with a 2x12 vertical Mesa cabinet, though slightly different than Sloan's rig, above. Concur it is insanely versatile and sounds wonderful from cleans to searing crunch and solo. That said, owning quite a few Mesas, I recommend...

So weird, yesterday I posted the message below on another thread, but shows the same criminal using the same email for different products: 7/3 "I posted a request for a Mark V headshell last year and got a couple of obvious scam offers and gave up. A couple days ago I got a message on the...

I've got to second props for the Fillmore 50. Have owned 10 or so Boogies and have several of them still. The Fillmore has magic and always sounds good. Brilliant cleans to great gain. The perfect variety amp. The only thing it lacks is metal or super-tight gain and hair-blowing volume. If you...

I have the combo. Obviously the 90 will get your core thrumming in a way the 25 won't, and the 10" speaker is thinner. But it sounds awesome for its size and you can patch in a 12" to thicken it up. It's one of my favorite amps and the one to grab when I'm going to an informal due to its weight...

Gonna jump in, since alternates are being discussed to once again sing the praises of the Fillmore. I own a Mark V 90 and 25, VII, 2C+, Electra-Dyne and LSS. There is something about the Filmore that always sounds great. It has clean and crunch tones to die for, and excellent but not madman...

A couple years ago, I put a Wanted ad for a head shell. The first person who responded seemed sketchy and was pointing to another user who supposedly made them but "had one left." A few weeks ago I got the query attached. I didn't answer but that message has been deleted. Not sure by who...

I own a Mark V combo and seven other Mesas including a DRGX MkIIC+ (modded) head and Mk VII head. I like the gain section of the V but the clean and crunch tones just don't stick it for me. Sadly, same for the VII. Good but not great. After much Petaluma tone chasing, my ideal Mesa would be a...

Will update soon.

Looking for a Mark V 90 headshell to convert a combo to a head.

Any thoughts on the MK VII cleans vs those on the MK V? ...or in general?

I hear you. A single MV seems like a basic requirement. However, Randall Smith had this to say re the MK7: “I wanted to focus completely on unadulterated tonal impact, and, to that end, the output control and the Solo function [found on the Mark V], useful features as they are, did reduce that...

Curious about the quality of the cleans of the MkVII. I have a Mk V90 and 25, a Lone Star Special, an Electra-Dyne and a Fillmore 50 and a Mark II C+ modded. The ED and LSS have superior, honey-drenched cleans, and the Fillmore cleans are the most useful across genres, IMO. But those amps, great...

I posted a separate thread on why I like it. I agree it leans towards classic sounds, not modern tightness. I have an LSS and, while the cleans of the Filmore aren't quite as honey-soaked, they are really great and much more useful for a broad spectrum of styles. It's more versatile than a DRRI...

I bought a 27" ED on Craigslist some months ago. It has an Eminence Texas Heat in it. Sounds great!

I just picked up a Fillmore 50 and I'm falling for it. I also own: Mark II C + modded DRGX head Mark V 90 combo Mark V 25 combo Lone Star Special combo Electra Dyne 1 x 12 combo They are all fantastic amps with incredible strengths. I've been chasing tone with the right balance of shimmery and...

Thanks, Walstib, yeah, that's finally what the tech shop did. Power tubes. Surprising it took so long to land on that. In my initial convos, I asked, "could it be the tubes?" This didn't register with anyone I spoke with as a likely potential cause. So, folks out there, if your amp makes a...

Saw Jeff Beck several times, including the Wired tour at Capital Center in MD. Jan Hammer. Huge sound. Just great. Almost wore out my cartridge needle on Blow by Blow and Wired, alone. But man, he opened for Jefferson Starship of all bands. Whose idea was that? We left 3 songs into Starship.

I bought a Mark V:25 used from Guitar Center. Within the first couple times of playing it, I noticed it makes a clicking sound. The sound happens once the tubes warm up a bit, set with a high gain tone, and is blended into the background sound of the amp while not playing. It can be pretty loud...
