SOLD: Mesa/Boogie MarkIII Coliseum (red stripe)

[JOEY B.]

I have decided to downsize the collection and sell my latest model Boogie (MkIII "red stripe", simul-class, Eq, Reverb, Coliseum). It has been upgraded with the Rhy2 volume mod, as well as a new cooling fan and half power switch. The tolex is in about a 8.5 out of 10 condition, considering that it is 20 years old. I am going to list it only on the Boogie Board and for local sale until tax refund season hits. If it has not sold by then, it's off to Ebay. The price is $1100 + shipping + Paypal fees (if used). A local pickup or meeting halfway (within 100 miles) is VERY welcome, as this amp will be costly to ship because of its weight. Email or PM me if you are interested.

Thanks,
Joey

is this a head or combo?

 

[JOEY B.]

It is the wide 23" head. Nobody in their right mind would want a combo version of this beast. It weighs nearly as much as my C+ hardwood EV combo. :shock: It will mow down a triple rec. I owned a 2 channel '97 model for about seven years, so I can say this in great confidence.

 

[tobytheplatypus]

thats ok, i have no use for combos
I'm going to look into the money factor, see what i can come up with
out of curiosity (as i wont know for a week or so if i can afford it), but would you ship to Canada if i can get the coin?

 

[JOEY B.]

Shipping to Canada will be fine. I would say calculate shipping weight at 65 pounds, as I tend to overpack my shipments for safety.

Any possibilities of posting pics?

 

[JOEY B.]

I'll try to get some good exterior pics of it tonight. All I have right now are gut shots.

 

[JOEY B.]

Here it is. I forgot to mention that it has new power tube retainers as well as new chrome on the lift handle. All footswitch functions are working properly, as I tested them with my MkII footswitches. Note the serial # has no "K", but no less a Series 300, for sure. Behold :!:

Now with a 4 button "Voodooman" footswitch thrown into the mix.

New Years Day bump.

 

[JimAnsell]

ooh.. tempting.

 

[JOEY B.]

Playing around with this amp tonight. It has the Boogie gain with the JCM 800 thump. More AC/DC-ish on R2 than the 75 watt models. I guess it's the extra headroom :?: . Somebody buy this *****, before I go deaf(er). :lol:

 

[nostar000]

Just keep me updated! :wink:

 

[JOEY B.]

2 weeks 'till Ebay bump. I have my 100% feedback up to the 50 mark so as to cover it with $2000 of Paypal coverage. Just in time for tax refund season.

****, I can't believe this isn't gone yet.

Just out of curiosity, how similar is it to the IIC+'s?

I'm GASing for another Mark III but live in PA and don't have the moneys yet.

 

[JOEY B.]

****, I can't believe this isn't gone yet.

Just out of curiosity, how similar is it to the IIC+'s?

It has a different "feel" than my 75 watt Simulclass IIC+ amps. But then, so does a 180 watt IIC+ Coliseum, which I've A/B'd with my amps. It's hard to put into words. The Coliseums have abundant bass which is not flubby. The clean channel has brutal dynamics, because of the headroom.

GONE!!!!!
