MKIV Wide Body Combo Quilted Maple.....not for sale anymore

[Finnster]

Here is my situation. I have this beautiful combo in quilted maple that I use with my 2X12 Recto cab. I like the sound with the 2X12 better than the combo by itself so I would prefer to have a head for easier transport. I considered buying a shell but then this nice wood would just sit around and that seems like a sin of some sorts. Obviously this was an expensive amp and it is about a month old so I would like to get $1800 for it. My loss is your gain (no pun intended ) The amp is perfect in everyway and hasn't left my house. Everything is include, obviously. Casters, footswitch, cover, manual. I dont have the original box..sorry. Warranty card has not been filled out.

Did you do it again, Jeff? Seems to me this is two custom high end boogies you bought that you in the end discovered had a little more or something a little different than you needed. It is ironic, because back in the day before I ever had a dual rec, I had an early mark IV combo in hardwood that I gigged for years by pulling the head out of the hardwood and putting it in the Mesa Rackmount kit. It was 4 rack spaces of pure tone that went through my 80s rig into my 73 marshall 4x12 with Greenbacks. The rig served me VERY well and I toured it from 95 till 2001 when I bought my dual rec I am now selling. but my hardwood stayed safe in the anvil till I sold the mark IV in 2001 for the most part. I would pull it out for an occasional funk gig, and I would use the 1x12 hardwood as an ext. cabinet. Then Mesa came out with the 3 channel Dual rec, I got the first one sold in new england, and put the mark IV back in the hardwood, sold it, and moved on. THe rest of the story, you know all too well, Jeff... ;-) Good luck, either way.

Kevin,

Thats a good idea. Where can I get a rack kit for the widebody head? I would keep it if I could do this as it would fix my issue. If I buy a headshell I figured it would cost me about $300 bucks. How much was the rack?

How is that RKII head??

 

[Finnster]

That is real nice! How much $$$$ did that go for new?

A bit over $2300

Finnster...

~itchy PayPal trigger finger still waiting for the okay from you to hit "send money"...second PM sent...~

 

[VLJ]

Just sent you another PM...

 

[BostonGuitar]

No rack kit for the widebody as it is too wide for 19 inch standard rack.

:-(

Sorry brothah...

Really wish you had replied to my email back when you were considering buying my dual rec. Regardless of your disinterest, I would have been cool if you had merely replied in the end... Just a shame...

I have decided to keep it after talking to Mesa last night. I ordered a head shell to swap it over. I said in my original post that I didn't want to do that and leave this beautiful cab sitting around but I decided what harm is that

This way I always have the option to swap it back if I feel the need. It was smarter to do this anyway instead of taking a hit on my combo and I dont have to wait for either build time on a new head or to find a nice used one for sale.

Problem solved..thanks to all!

sorry to those I teased.

 

[Platypus]

good for you, I'm really glad you kept it

 

[PRSKILLER]

Good choice. That would be a big hit to take on such a beautiful killer amp.

 

[Russ]

Nice to see you came to your senses.

How about the empty combo chassis? Any plans of selling that?
