Follow your dreams

Remember chase your dreams you never know when the might become reality. For years I wanted a vintage tube amp and was only working 10 hours a week so approx $100 weekly. How was I supposed to buy a vintage tube amp just how? Not to mention it was hard enough at times to even afford the basic things that we need for living . So this is how it all began. I met a fella on line I went through this stupid lawnmower obsession a few years back. I eventually landed an 70s Massey ferguson garden tractor. My friend was bugged me once or twice about his friend whom collected guitars . He wanted my Massey and I wanted a guitar so we did a trade . After he left I noticed he forgot some stuff at my place. So after I tracked him down he showed me his guitar collection and I was amazed. I've never saw so many vintage guitars in one place I was just in aww. I got to play a 60s Gibson gospel,32 Gibson es150 cc ,72 telecaster custom,78 Gibson lesPaul custom. Just really cool stuff but then he took me to his basement and there it was, my forever amp. I went home and couldn't stop thinking of the old amp the blonde tolex just sitting in the basement. After a few visits with him he asked the dreadful question "do you know were I can sell my amp" the amp I wanted. Eventually we made an agreement of me selling his guitars for him . And guess what I got the amp in return so commission. Here is my forever amp an 100watt mesa boogie mark 2a with a single 15"speaker . Never once did I think I'd ever own a vintage tube amp let alone one like the one that Keith Richard's and the boys so remember chase your dreams. Here's my dream come true. I'm going on three years with my mesa and still love everything about it

Awesome! I love my Mesa too (a Blue Angel) and worked really hard at 2 jobs to be able to buy it. It isn't going anywhere.
 
Re: Follow your dreams

welcome to Mesa!

THAT is classic Boogie goodness right there! Epiphone + Boogie gonna = AMAZE balls tone. Gibson 59 + Crate, not so much. You did it right bro!!!!!!

Now, let's talk about that table cloth back there....

Re: Follow your dreams

Ever since I sold my TSL100, it was my dream to own another bloody great Marshall tube head. Turns out all I had to do was stop buying guitars for a minute and throw down for a used JVM 410H I found at a great price.

"You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later."
 
Re: Follow your dreams

I never really saw myself as a Mesa guy. And let's be honest - I own the Mesa Marshall Model....

But...the important point is;

 
Re: Follow your dreams

Well, I picked this up a while back. It can do Marshall. Or Fender. Or Boogie. My favorite is Diesel.
