Am I nuts?

[masterofsparks]

Thinking about selling the IIC+ and picking up a Roadster.

 

[devilrob1979]

Yes you are. You're selling THE most coveted Mesa Boogie to pick one up that's being mass produced in droves right now. Your C+ will buy you about 15 Roadsters in coming years. Keep it and save up til you can afford a Roadster as well. At least that's what I'd do.

 

[masterofsparks]

Yes you are.

Knew it. . .

 

[Elpelotero]

If you don't use the C+ for anything anymore, then go for it. But realize you'd lose the best lead sound man has ever created! Roadster can't give you that!

 

[ToneAddictJon]

Simple, if you're not satisified with the IIC+ then I say go for it, but if you're just gassing for something new, hang onto the IIC+ and get a secondary amp, pick up a used DR and then get a switching system so you have 2-3 channels of recto and 2 channels of mark

 

[Platypus]

If you're selling it please let me know.

I like that idea. Hate the thought of waiting though. . .

You seem like a very nice fellow and a smart individual so I will not say what I would to a person that would even THINK about doing that. Get some rest, enjoy the sunshine, take your vitamins and for the love of Christ do not sell your Mark II. Have a great day!!!

Hi!

I'm a shrink in my day job and I used to own a Roadster, so I can saw will 100% medical certainty... YES, YOU ARE NUTS! :lol:

However, I think Jon's advice is right on. Give it three days. If it is still a good idea in three days, then consider sell it.

You're not nuts, just a case of temporary insanity brought on by the "Greener Grass Syndrome". I fell victim to this about 10 years ago.
There is a cure.

Your not nuts. You just are after a different sound. I suggest not selling the IIC+ and just getting something different.

I had the same issue a few years ago. I have an original MArshall 1967 Plexi. I was gonna sell it for something else. I ended up keeping the Marshall... but I have not used it in more than 2 years... :wink:

 

[ramalam]

I bought a MKIIC+ new in 1983 and sold it when the band broke up about three years later. Two weeks ago, I got my 2nd. MKIIC+. I have other amps for other sounds but the C+ would probably be the last to go if I sold my amps. The C+ and a Marshall style amp (I love my Ampeg VL 502) cover all the sonic bases for me. I have other amps mostly for their light weight and portability but nothing sounds as good as these two. I don't always wear my best clothes and I don't always use my best amp.

 

[Living_justice]

you can get better amps now, dont listern to these guys, sell to me you know you want to :twisted:

How about a used rect-o-verb or trem-o-verb? Anyone have experience with those? If I were to keep the II, financially that's probably the way I'd have to go.

Of those two, I would say that a used trem-o-verb would be a good addition to the C+, in your amp collection. But selling the C+ would be out of the question. I actually used to play my MkI and a 2 channel Triple Rectifier in an A/B/stereo setup.

 

[ToneAddictJon]

I would second the Tremoverb, they are great amps.

 

[Monsta-Tone]

(I love my Ampeg VL 502)

Probably one of the most under rated rock amp of all time. I have the VL-1002.



I would keep the IIC+ and get something else. I have a '67 Fender Pro Reverb that I never use, but I still have it.
