Re: Mesa amp pricing?

Mesa fixes their prices. You'll find the same price wherever you go, so buy in-store (no shipping fees).


The game with Mesa is to find who will throw in the most free stuff with it. If you can't wring a nice little accessories package out of the dealer's hands you can probably find another who's willing.

The real market for Mesa products is used, but those still take a decent dollar on Ebay because everyone's trying to pick them up cheaper.

Rectoverb should be around a grand. Road King about 2300 (way overpriced IMHO).

I suggest looking into the lesser known gear classifieds for better deals, like Harmony-Central... that's how I got a 2500 Triamp for 1050

This was last year, they likely have gone up. Single recto head $1099, Rectoverb head $1199, rectoverb combo is $1399.

I ended up getting a mint rectoverb head off ebay for $800 and had it retubed (not that it needed it, I just wanted it all nice a new).

Re: Mesa amp pricing?

how do you like it carrot head? the recto-verb. does it have a ton of gain like most other mesas?

Re: Mesa amp pricing?

I think TC will agree with me when I say that the Rectoverb has plenty of gain

Slip covers for their 4x12's run just under $100, but they threw one in for free when I bought mine.

Everything else I bought used, and saved a small fortune that way :burnout:


To answer your gain question, I'm pretty sure the Rect-O-Verbs are Single Rectifiers with built in reverb (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). And a Single is plenty loud for what you want to do with it.

Well, they might do Mesa accessories, but also stuff like cables, picks, box o' strings, maybe a decent discount on a guitar/effects unit.

From Mesa's website I think so too. 50 Watts...well whatever its rated that thing is loud as all hell! (played a 50 watt solo head at guitar center wow!)
