If true, the price of my pre-Gibson Mesa just doubled. But Gibson has a history of buying brands and killing them (Tobias, Steinberger, Oberheim).Administrator of the SDUGF

I've kinda wanted a JP2C for a while now, and this may be the kick in the ass I needed to finally figure out how one would fit in my amp collection...
EDIT:Oh crap, I just realized I posted in this thread already. Sorry for the low content post! Drunkposting is sometimes bad, kids!Last edited by Cynical; 01-06-2021, 01:31 AM.

As long as the core group of managers/workers at the Mesa factory remain stable then there might not be any real changes to the current designs or quality-level of the amps and cabs.
The product-line as a whole would likely be the first area for new office bosses to dapple. They'd probably either want to completely streamline things or go the other way and start using the brand name for stuff made somewhere other than Petaluma (cough cough). Who knows really.?.

Although, I heard it's more of a "partnership" and a full-on buyout, whatever that means.

Lol, this is probably true. Time to go hunting for Mesa Amps.

That’s what I’ve read rumors of as well. After the GC distribution fallout, they may need additional distribution channels that Gibson can assist with. I’m also curious if a new line of Gibson amps will be developed. The rumor is that Dave Mustaine is going to Gibson as well, I wonder if he will be attempting to revive the Kramer brand.
