SOOOO pissed I'm getting back into the club. I missed out on a Mark IIc on GC used site by minutes. I called while the dude was in the process of buying it. ....ing $699.

Nooo! That sucks man.

If the guy had played it at the store and was happy with it than he got a heck of a deal. Otherwise, $699 is a pretty shady price. I know the Mark IIC+ is the crown jewel, but a Mark IIc is nothing to sneeze at either. Like I said, the shady price means it was either a heck of a deal or "not all is right" with the amp, and I've encountered more of the latter when dealing with Guitar Center.

Yea I know, but I was going to take my chances. Sending it to Mesa to have it upgraded to IIc+ and possibly fixed would run maybe $1000 at the most I would think. I believe the upgrade is $500. I could have still made $1000 if I decided to sell it later.... So bummed lol.

I used to own a F-50 widebody combo, this is the only pic I have. I replaced the black plastic knobs with some nice chrome speed knobs. Someone offered a trade without payment for a VHT Sig:X head. I loved this combo to death but it would've been stupid to refuse. I love that VHT just a little more

I replaced the Celestion V30 speaker with an Electro Voice EVM12L, which could only be front loaded because the power tubes got in the way. It also increased weight by 5 kg. Tone improved drastically, a real beast.

I can recommend this speaker swap to any owner of an open back Mesa, if it fits... V30 is on the left (duh).

A few years ago, downsized to just the one as not touring

Just blew the main power fuse this morning. Think I narrowed it down to the rectifier tube being the culprit. Anyone else had experience with that?

Here's my 3-channel Multi-watt triple rectifier going into a 4x12 Mesa Cab. Have had it only a couple of months now, but loving it so far. Still scratching the surface of tonal possibilities!!

Channel 2 is where it's at! I don't even bother with channel 3.
