So, I got my Mark IV in the mail....

[Bro KV]

Here it is

But when I looked in the box I saw this

and the back of the amp

So I made a trip to Hollywood yesterday to have it re-tubed and have it checked out. The guys there are way cool, but the drive into LA on the 101 was a ******* joke. Anyways, hopefully it will be done tomorrow.

DOH!

Hopefully the rest of it is ok!

First off, congrats on your amp dude. Second, Thats one sorry a$$ packing and shipping. Hope everything turns out to be in pristine condition minus them tubes of course.

 

[Bro KV]

It was actually the original shipping box, but it looks like USPS launched it off the back of the truck. The shipper already paid for the power tubes, and I am have Mesa put new preamp tubes in since it is there anyways.

Rule of thumb:

NEVER ship an amp with the power tubes in thier sockets. This will ALWAYS happen. Power tubes need to be taken out of thier sockets and wrapped in paper and/or padding and boxed and then can be placed in the back of the chassis or shipped seperate.

Amen! I've never had an amp arrive in the mail that didn't have power tubes falling/fallen out of their sockets! And that's with 4 different carriers!

The last time I was in LA, I saw a woman smoke crystal meth in the passenger seat of a passing car on the expressway. No joke is right.

 

[boogieslayer]

in my experience LA is a **** hole...end of story lol

 

[MesaGod666]

I hate California altogether. F*ck all you psychos!

San Diego isnt that bad, Then again it is next to the border so its 90% mexicans which is not bad! Im mexican just saying :lol:

 

[Bro KV]

SoCal = Northern Mexico

 

[MrMarkIII]

Thanks to all for dissing, I mean, telling the truth about CA.
We need to keep the riff-raff out, after all. :lol:

 

[drunkdolphin]

I go to cali every year for NAMM and in the words of Randy Newman, I LOVE L.A!

Hmmm, so should I drive over to the Mesa factory, about 2 miles from my house, here in Petaluma, CALIFORNIA, and let them know they suck for being in California? :roll:

C'mon guys, lighten up. The Los Angeles freeway system is no more representative of the entire state of California than Time Square represents all that New York has to offer. Anytime, y'all want to see the ocean, redwood forests, vineyards, Sierra mountain range, miles of pristine open countryside, plus world class restaurants, thriving nightlife and on and on (all in one day!), c'mon out to Northern California.

i know you all were tongue in cheek, but someone had to stand up. :lol:
