    How NOT to sell your MK IV

    Yeah dont sell the IV the 5 is just a diffrent amp its amazing. But its just diffrent. I hear people say upgrade to the 5. Imo its not a upgrade.

    Best curent available EL34 for Mesa Mark V

    No I have a mark V 90w I just bought. I'm selling my my mark V:35. I'm confused on all this bias stuff and wana know if a matched quad of most power amp tubes (El34/6L6) will work in my amp without issues or do I need to stick to just mesa tubes. Seems like they charging a premium on there tubes.
