would love to try one, have yet to see one here.

I wouldnt sell my IV for V, but if I was in the market to buy an amp outright it would be the V.

ok i don't intend this to be a rally round the Mark V thread. I have seen a bunch of Vs for sale already and was reading a long thread over at rig talk about Vs going up for sale and wanted to see if people were selling off vs and why. Figured would get more responses from this board.

I guarantee you that in a year or 2 tops the price of any used IV will be more than a V.
Just look at the price of MESA's other "modeller" the triaxis...new 2k...used...900-1400 max
and thats for an older one (like the one i dumped after 10 years for the same price i bought it..1400).
The newer revisions with the crappy sounding ld1 red chan go for around 1100...thats 900 less
then new. The V will be the same but the originals won't change much

IF you have mind to buy a V at least wait for the first revision..Don't listen to the fanboys
and especially don't listen to people who never had an original IIc+, IV, etc. Look at the
good\smart people here like danyeo and gibson (actually traded his for a loaded IIC+..lucky *******).
They dumped their V's after a week or 2.

 

[Nermel]

Why is someone a "fanboy" if they really enjoy there amp for what it is...and don't insist on splitting hairs on whether it totally keys in on MK IIC+ or IV

There's no need for stupid name calling or whatever have you....

Play a IIC+...play a IV...play a V...which do you like best...get that one.

Ok so for you people who don't like the V and prefer to stick with their original amps are smart, but people who actually enjoys their Vs are just "fanboys"? Funny...

If your IIC+ is so much better than the V, why are you still bothering to come in the Mark V section and try to discourage peple from bying a V?

Honeslty, I am really tired to see threads being hijacked by IIC+ owners trying to convince everybody that the V isn't good. It is pure childish behaviour. No matter what you say, the V is a good amp, it has 9 excellent voicings and it is an excellent bang for the buck.
So now please if you don't have anything more interesting to say about the V, keep your opinion for the Vintage amp section let us continue discuss the V in a constructive matter.

As soon as Petrucci will release an album entirely based on the V, either with DT, LTE or solo, a bet ya that the V will become a classic and get the respect it deserves.

Im not really thinking about getting a V (there is a Dave Friedman Naked I have an eye on right now :shock: ) I was reading the thread over at rig talk and danyeo had several posts there on that thread as well on this topic. Way back when they had announced the V my first thought was wait for the first revision as well. there were several people on this board that were very obviously "true believers" and had put money down sight unseen (unheard to be more to the point) for a V when they hit the streets. I kinda wonder if those same people had had a change of heart as well and have off loaded a V in favor of something older or just something different all together.

By the way I do have a triaxis and a 2:90 by the way and I like it but the triaxis has had to move over for another amp the last 6 months or so and it has been gathering dust in the rack. Im digressing.

Nermel, I take the use of Fanboys by John to refer to some of the people that have the mindset that mesa can do no wrong and hence opinions might be a bit on the biased side.

It was really surprising to hear that people were already selling Vs used and I have yet to even see the first on here in Tokyo.

Just don't like to see this "can of worms" opened all over again :shock: :|

He asked the question in this section and I gave him my opinion on it. And no one is trying to "discourage" people
from buying the V, if anything what most of us are saying is LISTEN and TRY one first before blindly laying down
your cash and realizing it ain't what it's cracked up to be like a bunch of other people found out already.

I'll be the one of the first to check the V out again when rev B comes out (just like I was the first to actually try a V and decide it wasn't worth the money).
And chances are if RS fine tunes it to be what ALOT of us HOPED it would be in the first place I'll also be one of the first people to buy it.

Nah you're previous post was pretty much emotionally charged..."smart/good" people sell their V's...while "insert whatever" keep them because they like them.

quit trolling...or at least do it in a more objective manner

so Nermel,.. got a V? like it? live up to they hype? Is it better than you expected? more than you hoped for? a big let down? didnt nail the tones it claims to? Sold it off in less time it took to make the money to buy it? Regardless how much or little emotion is in other posts, fanboys, , or anything in any way shape or form John P related, have anything to add to the topic of the thread?

There was no emotion there bud, dont read to far in to it. If anything you're the one getting charged up not me.

My comment was meant more in the sense that "alot (not all) of people who had the originals and KNOW better
chose to dump it quick before the word totally gets out and it's value plunges like a stone". There are those here
like lesterpaul who HAVE both the original and are keeping the V as well and I say more power to them, play\keep
what makes you happy. But what I DONT like is "fanboys" who have never owned a MESA before touting the
V like it's gods gift to amps when the reality of it is it's not..not by a longshot.

I avoid posts from V users that discuss tone and effects and what to use and whatever else...But if someone
asks a question like this guy wondering why it's already being flipped or why people say it sucks or whatnot
then I'll add my opinion if I feel like it.

Besides, someone has to play the "bad guy" around here.

 

[Nermel]

I understand...I'm not complaining about opinion, negative or positive...just the way it's said...don't like name calling and whatnot

If stated before that I love my amp...I've never, though, extolled it so high, thus telling/convincing others to sell it out right for a particular amp...

The IIC+ is a "gift of the Gods" for some people...that's great...I wish I could have one too...but I wouldn't sell my MK V outright for it and I'm sure if I have a IIC+ I wouldn't sell it for a MK V... best of both worlds baby

 

[Mark Fore]

Last I heard, the IIC+'s weren't MIDI

Nicely said. Dont you love people who blindly buy something and believe its the be-all end-all because thats what the advertisement says. Buyers remorse denial! :lol:
That said, I like the Mark V. I think it sounds pretty **** good even though people dont think it nails the older amps perfectly. I look at it as IIC+-ish mode and IV-ish mode. The triaxis costs the same as a V head and doesnt even have a power section.

 

[CudBucket]

I doubt it. There are far too many IVs in the world. There'd never be that type of demand.

+1000

But it will be JP fanboys that follow that trend.
