New Mesa Owner

[jimmybcool]

Hi all,

I am new here and also new to Mesa. Today I took the plunge and bought my first real guitar amp. Well, I have a Fender G-Dec which is great for a beginner like me but the next step required something with more tone.

But I am concerned about my membership on this board. I noticed that I am the 666th member to join this board. :shock:

Is it a coincidence? Or is it more sinister than that? I dunno. :twisted:

Anyway, thanks to whoever hosts this board and I hope I don't bore with too many newbie questions. Seems there is a lot of knobs on this thing. Oh, I got a used Mesa Boogie Mark IV in a combo format with wheels on the bottom (thanks for the wheels this sucker is heavy).

LOL! Hey someone had to be #666 (I'm glad it ain't me).
BTW a Mark IV is a great way to learn about Boogies. Just remember, patience is the key to controlling this truly awesome amp.

Yup. I am the same guy. Weird - I used the same name too. 8)

Well, maybe I should have chosen SATAN since I am number 666. I am having a very strange day.

But things are calming down. I bit of scotch, a dip in the pool with the wife, and now time to read the manual to this beast. Doesn't seem to be much there but one should not judge a book by its cover.

Cheers all.

Congrats on your purchase! Funny about your manual, my recto came with a 31 page manual

Congrats.

When I first started playing guitar it was with a Presonus mic preamp and my Fostex MR8 digital recorder with 2 monitor speakers.

I was tired of playing through that...I saved up my money and my first amp was the Mesa Boogie F-50 1x12.

I dont regret it at all. This amp is awsome! Now I want more amps

Just wanted to share that with you guys.

Dont worry about that number 666...its only a number.

 

[jimmybcool]

I'm not really worried about 666. I'm not religeous.

I first started with a Fender G-Dec which is still a good investment cause it has built in jams you can play along with and a tuner.

But yesterday I plugged in to check the tune on a guitar and forgot to rejack into the Mesa and started jamming. NOT. NOW I am starting to understand just how tinny the G-Dec sounded.

I can't see a need for anbother amp - yet. Except when I get to Thailand I have a second house there and need to equip it with guitar and amp. Can't find a Mesa dealer there yet but I'm looking.

if you read the fine print of the bible (which i rarely do, im not religious)
in revelations it also refers to the number of the beast as being 616 in
some older texts. i think there was somethin in the news recently about
that too. the copy of the bible i happen to own (it was a gift and i just keep
it around for refrence is the Tyndale Red Letter New Living Translation.
page 726 at the bottom
food for thought...

sorry to double post, but maybe mr Robotechnology is the devil, being
as how hes the 616th member.....

Nah, the devil plays through a Peavey. :wink:
