Unexpected NAD.

Well, new pre-amp day.

Went into town to pay my cell phone bill, and stopped in at the local hole-in-the-wall "we only sell Fender and Ibanez Gio" music store, just to look around.

And I stumbled upon, and immediately purchased this:





...






wait for it...





...



Mesa Boogie Formula Pre

I have to find a use for it now, lol. I figured I'd use it like it was designed, and run it direct to my interface and record.





Now the fun part, who wants to guess how much I paid for it?

Get within $10 and win a special prize.

EDIT:
I paid $150. Wookieslayer guessed it...after I told everyone

 

[Cheesebuiscut]

320~!?

No idea.

 

[heyimdallas]

Hmmmmmmm.....
350 American?

 

[MaxOfMetal]

 

[Chickenhawk]

$320 - nope
$350 - nope

Max -

 

[heyimdallas]

Grrrr..
Can I guess again?

 

[Chickenhawk]

Sure, guess as many times as you want.

 

[heyimdallas]

Alright!
$300!

 

[Chickenhawk]

Wrong again.

I paid:


...



$150. well, $161 after taxes.

Those guys had NO FUCKING CLUE what they had. But I did...and I just happened to have some money in my wallet...which is no longer there


And yes, it is in mint condition. A couple small scratched from being racked, but everything else is pristine.

Anybody know how to run the serial so I can see what year it is?

 

[Wookieslayer]

$150?

Edit: oh damn i guessed it as you posted it!

 

[heyimdallas]

HOLY SHIT!
Happy New Amp Day indeed! What a steal!

 

[Chickenhawk]

Wookie nailed it...you still get the prize, man.


Yea, I'm pretty stoked. Even if I don't keep it, I figured I could sell it for $300...or maybe a little less than that if I sell it here. Which I don't think I'll be able to do now, hahaha.

 

[heyimdallas]

Yeah, you could probably try to sell it for $300 and someone would still be thinking their stealing it from you hahaha.

 

[emperor_black]

Great deal. A couple sold for $300+ on fleabay.

Regarding info, post about it in the boogie forums and they'll tell you everything about it including who built it.

 

[Enselmis]

Aw.. I'm selling one of them... Shoulda bought mine!!

I just tried registering on the boogie forums, but they apparently don't allow @yahoo.com and @gmail.com emails to register.

I wasn't looking for anything Mesa. Just found it, and got it for a killer price.

I bet you're selling yours for more than $150. And I don't blame you, because you have a brain

 

[Leuchty]

How long until we get clips?

Congrats on an awesome MESA score.

 

[Andii]

Amazing find. I'll probably never run into anything like that.

 

[All_¥our_Bass]

Cool find.

Have you gotten to hear it yet?
