Hey,
Im new to mesa boogie, and even newer to this board.
I tried out a dual rectifier a couple of months ago, and fell in love imeadiately. Since i have been trying to get a hold one, but it has been difficult with the prices these guys have!
Finally, i have been offered a rectifier for a quite cheap price. The thing is, im not sure of how old it is or its condition. Testing of it is out of the question since it will have to be shipped.
So my question, as the price of this dual rec, is about 1/3 of the normal price (and including a marshall 4 * 12 cab) is it worth getting? even if it might be old , and tubes and stuff will need replacing? Or should i just go for a new one? Can you hear a big difference in age with these amps, i hear that they are VERY well built and last!?
Thank anyone who will help on my first REAL AMP purchase ... hehe now im running through a 12 watt kustom (its TUBE though, and good for practicing, but i need somehting to gig with)
