How's the turn around time been for sending Mark series amps back in to Mesa lately?

well I've emailed Molly twice about my tubes and haven't even gotten a response, so lesson learned
don't send in your amps with any NOS tubes because they will poach them for themselves.
Must be the "Gibson culture" taking hold I would've never expected this from Mesa.
Has seriously soured an otherwise good experience, my Mark IV is ripping.

That sucks - mollie usually gets back right away- not good to hear this

My Mark I reissue came back last week and, as usual, Mike B. did a great job. Mike did a couple of tasteful mods that really made the amp even better. Of course, UPS managed to break my power tubes on the return trip. I'm just thankful that they're not NOS Sylvanias.

I had some decent Gold Lion preamp tubes in, but nothing to mortgage the house over. A pair of MB 6L6s otherwise. I’ve got a good stash of Winged C tubes here waiting, but no point in risking them to UPS! I’ll post what comes back, looking like this summer. Lol
