I bet that Stiletto/BX combo sounds awesome with that LP. How much different is it than say a JMP sitting on top? I would assume slightly more modern but still having some british flavor a la the EL34's.

 

[sgtbaker]

The BX has the Greenbacks just like the old Marshalls, so if you hooked a JMP to it, it would be the 1960's all over again. I got it used for $650 at Daddy's Junky Music, where it's $1100 brand new. The only problem is there is one little spot of dried up soda on the tolex. lol. As for the Stiletto, it sounds great. I have yet to perfect it though. I just got it today.

 

[mesanomad100]

stilleto's arent my specialty,series 1 or 2,I cant tell ,dont know the difference from lookin

 

[sgtbaker]

It's a Series I.. I've played an Ace which has the same sound as a Stage II and there really isn't much of a difference that I can hear.

 

[Russ]

Yeah I have the AX for my JMP. It sounds great. I was wondering about the Stiletto with the BX because it is Mesa's Marshally offering.

 

[sgtbaker]

I would totally recommend it, it's just that I don't like paying $1100 for a cab. I would look around before buying it brand new

It's true that you can get most of the same tones in the Stage II (or Ace in this case) but 5 out of the 6 modes were revoiced and it's got a lot more gain as well. Both are fantastic amps, just trying to clarify the differences. I had both but if I had to choose, I'd keep the II (and I did )

Russ, check out the Ace head if you get a chance.. preferrably with a Les Paul. It's so much fun....

It took apprx. ten years all together when I finally found two of these cabs for me . I searched and searched these f.ex. from eBay from all over the world but finally delivery costs makes me delay the buying decision. And for my luck I got both of these from Finland where I live.

But however , I will inform my heirs in my testament to sell these cabs to you Aart then whenever it's prevailing 8) ...hopefully not that yet :shock: There's still some things must be done...

Thanks man. It's called Root Beer and it seems to be alot more of a flame/qulit than the Les Paul Standard's. That's not really a good picture of it. If you get it in the light it looks amazing. I'll get you a pic of it.

 

[Russ]

Those rootbeer LPs are interesting. I have seen many that faded to a purplish color. I asked my firend that works at GC and he said that he sees a lot of them that do that and pulled one off the wall that just happened to be a nice shade of purple.

 

[sgtbaker]

They fade into purple?

 

[Russ]

Yep. They sure do. I don't know why but they slowly change to a purplish hue.

 

[sgtbaker]

Thanks, that's pretty cool to know

 

[flogger]

somebody had me convinced mesas were metal sludge machines

asshats.

 

[David.W]

Hey flogger, how do you like the HD147? Do you find it models the mesa stuff well?

 

[sgtbaker]

Is that Line 6 a tube amp?

 

[verity38]

i think so. line 6 can build some nice stuff but you have to pay big big bucks for it

 

[verity38]

actually it isnt ... i think line 6 is always digital
