Mesa tubes and amps are usually the same price no matter where you buy them.
If you know a dealer real well he might sell you a head 2k head for 50 buck less then the competitor,
but they all pay the same price from mesa, they might get a quantity discount but they are usually
tagged "list price" and "sell price".
Now that mesa no longer protects their dealers area, for example, you can buy mesa on the internet,
and soon I imagine most stores will carry some of the line and be able to order you most items in a matter of days.
I sure hope the above does not affect mesa's great customer service.
You can buy direct from mesa and its the same as buying from another store.
I do know on tubes I can give you this.
If you buy from mesa you pay shipping.
If you want to save a few bucks, order them from a place that offers free shipping, usually on orders of $100.00.
Or go to your local dealer and buy them there. Or trade some items you no longer need or use, like most of us have but
just won't part with, and like most dealers take the hit and pay a few bucks for the tubes.
Here are two links.
(1)Pay mesa to ship them.(2) Or buy the min. to get free shipping from the second link.
Let me know if you find some different prices elsewhere.
