Hello all!
I have recently gotten back in to playing music (had to take a break to start a family, you know how it goes) and it is time to buy a new amp. I have always wanted a Boogie but they've always been out of my price range. Well, now I have a little cash to spend but to be honest, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the different models Mesa has out there. What I'm looking for is a combo, less than $1000 that would be in the say, 30-50 watt range. It needs to be loud enough to get me through rehearsals and gigs, but I don't plan of any arena shows soon, so anything louder is probably unnecessary at this point.
My new band will be doing covers to start, stuff like Sabbath, Rush, Rage, Alice and what not. Eventually we'll move on to originals of a 'metal-y' nature. We're all in to Metallica, Megadeth, Maiden and the like.
So my question to you Mesa experts is: what are your recommendations?
