Hi everyone,
Im here to ask, if a Mark II serial i think is 496 for 1.000$ is worth the price??
Also what marks II can be moded to a mark IIc+? Is mesa doing it right now? I meant if i send a mark II to mesa do they make it IIC+?
Thank you guys for your time!
Is it a head, or combo? With a low serial like that, I think it's worth getting; I found my IIA 1x15 for $800. But, I gotta say, IIA's have a mojo and tone that was lost with the IIB, and changed again with the C and C+.
Yes, Mesa will still do the mod, but I say try it as is before spending the cash on making it a C+; you just might dig what it does. Like all Boogies, you gotta twist and pull a few knobs to achieve sonic nirvana; but you may be pleasantly surprised at what it can do. Now, the early II's did have a couple of issues with noisy reverbs, and channel switching, they will gladly take care of those issues, with or without changing the sonic tonality.
I also think you should look at it from a collector's standpoint; originals are always more valuable than modified. While this would be the cheaper route to C+ tones (as opposed to buying an original), if you decided to re-sell, how much of your investment are you going to get back?
Good luck, and happy tone hunting!
