  • Succumbing to G.A.S.

    Well I finally did it. I was looking for musical inspiration and what better way to do that than to buy new gear!!!
    I've been going on and on about getting a new amp, well I finally pulled the trigger on a Mesa Boogie Mark IV. Ebay is a wonderful thing!!!
    FedEx can't get to my place soon enough. I haven't felt this giddy since I saw my first nudie mag.
    In anycase, let the rockin begin!!!
    Thanks to everyone who put up with and gave information about my wandering tube amp questions!!!!
    You guys/gals RULE!!!

        MRID,
        How do you like your Mark IV?
        What kind of sounds can you get, and are you using mostly?

          I had a love/hate relationship with the Mark IV. I used to have a short head, and I always regretted selling it. I could get pretty much any tone I wanted outta that thing.

            I'm interested to see how this one sounds.
            It has the Black Shadow speaker, also the owner replaced the outer tubes with the EL34's for that Brit sound..... I dunno if I'll change it back to stock or not. I'm sure i'll have tons of fun tweakin for days/weeks.
            As far as selling your old short head I hear you there it always pains me to sell gear. In fact I have to sell my LIL musicman 212 to help defray the cost of the Boogie.
