NAD- custom wood MV combo _ PICS!

[babow2]

I just went over to the Mesa Factory to get my new Mark V combo today. I had the amp made in Amber Stain Private Reserve Quilt Maple with black grille, plus I already took delivery of the widebody 1x12 closed back, which houses an OEM EVM-12L.

Ooooh! we need pics!

As for tones, just hit the settings thread or just start twiddling, for me easiest to dial in are Fat clean, Crunch and Mark IV modes!

Thanks. Yeah, I pretty much know where to go on Clean and Mark IV. I've got my eye on Crunch for chnl 2, and will play it probably 45 watts for quick set up. Given 20+ years of playing Marks, I am guessing i can get some decent tones pretty quick. I also played one for an hour or so at the factory back when I ordered.

As to gigging with a wood amp. I take very good care with my stuff, this is an outdoor gig, not a bar and I've never had an "event" with an amp in 22 years. Besides, they are meant to be played out!

I'll post pics.

OEM?

As in, new current production? A left over from earlier production? Or a used one stripped out of another cab?

OEM- meaning it is an original EVM-12L that I have had for years and used in various cabinets. It has been my workhorse.
