I don't agree with the hype about "best pre1000" and all that...it's obviously selling hype, but otherwise it seems like an interesting buy

Did the Rev E's have the big logo on them? Or was this one re-shelled or something?

 

[Elpelotero]

seems reshelled. no big logos.

 

[MesaENGR412]

yeah, they didn't go big logo til rev G i believe (feel free to correct me), did it at the same time they intro'd the knobs that had little triangular point markers and parallel lines around them (instead of cross-hatched "knarled" knobs with dot markers which they now use again with the 3-channels)

They tried selling the head over there for $3200

The headshell has definitely been replaced and it looks like there's something wrong with the cap above the rev marking.

lol don't worry! Never called you out. I saw the user's name and figured you would've posted it on here or your place instead. However, this is the kind of thing I was referring to back then about the term pre1000. People can misuse it and take advantage of others who aren't as educated on the subject.

3200 is nuts. What was he on?!

hahaha, the thought had run through my mind :lol:

I asked about the head shell and this is the response I got...

"Hey. From what I know... this is all original. Please remember that this head was built while Mesa was still figuring out who they were. Each amp is going to be different. No one amp is the same. Not like the new mesas.

But thanks for the info, as I did not know that.

You should post that reply on the vintage section of this board!! I would love to hear what they have to say about "Please remember that this head was built while Mesa was still figuring out who they were." your post made my day!!I wonder if he is intentionally misleading people, or if he is just misinformed? Maybe his pre-1k power has gone to his head?

**** all that. I have a #49 Roadster, therefore I win

 

[jtb226]

Yeah, I thought the reply was quite amusing. I wasn't even sure what to write back to him. :lol:

 

[Aart]

The revision E heads are the ONLY Dual Rectifiers that are soldered point to point!

WTF? LOL?

Point to point, but with a lot of PCB between the point to point?
This guy is a very good comedian!

 

[jtb226]

LOL! I didn't notice that before! I HATE people that post things that are blatantly false in order to hype up their product. :x :evil:
