Maverick Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 I really want a Mark 1 :guitar: Get a Mark V, and there is a Mark I in it. The bad news is, you still have to pay for a Mark V! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ok, so I didn't get it by the end of 2013. But yesterday I put a down payment on one at a Guitar Center in Maryland. I except to have it home no later than the end of the month, and with any luck, maybe next week. I've lusted after this amp for going on 4 years, and finally, it will be mine! :madra: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Lots of good tones with a Boogie. The guy I record with has 2 IVs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I am excited beyond words for this. I think it might spell the end for my Deluxe Reverb, though. As great as that amp is, I always use my Lonestar now when playing at home. And even though the MKV is heavy (80 lbs) the 1x12 stature will make it a lot easier to move, especially since it already has casters on it. I may just sell the DR, and then finally get Mesa to build a 1x12 chassis for the Lonestar, and have two 1x12 Mesas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Grownup Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Sounds great! Mesa/Boogie makes some stellar amps. Remember to post pictures when you get it, though I don't think I have to remind you of that ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also profit from such a move, but I hate the idea of selling gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also profit from such a move, but I hate the idea of selling gear. Selling gear was an extremely foreign concept to me for a long, long time. I used to feel that once something was purchased, it was mine for life. So every time I would buy something, I would research it and agonize over it to no end because I felt that once it was paid for, that was it. But then last year I had several pedals that were literally just collecting dust, and I thought that maybe if I could sell them, I could get some other pedals that I would really use. Well, that started the avalanche. I can't believe how much gear I've turned over in just one year. But I also know that it pales in comparison to some of the gear hounds I've read about.

I am to a large extend a collector when it comes to guitar gear. I got 4 electric and one acoustic guitar, two amps and some pedals. Sometimes I think about selling some pedals to get some others, but then I think "you never know when you'll need it". The amps and guitars are never to be sold. I'm gonna be buried with them! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It's not so much that I may need some piece later, but rather I bought it for a reason. With the Deluxe, I got it from a place I used to work so there is some sentimentality for that, plus it sounds good for what it is. And it's the best amp I have. Selling it for an amp that I know is more versatile but less valuable is a hard sell in my inner dialogue. My dad once had a Gretsch Country Gentleman in the 60s but because he was a bass player primarily he traded it for a Standel bass amp which he still regrets. I blew it out when I was 15. Oops. I had a Fender Champ amp that disappeared when I was a teenager and it was a really nice amp and I wish I still had it. Each guitar I have serves a purpose too. I could never have 2 strats for instance. Redundant to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once I swap the pcikups in one of them, that redundancy is gone.I could have s Strat that is more modern with hotter pickups, and another one with a more vintage vibe.

micgtr71 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This is a fantastic amplifier that I would love to own. My limited playing these days stops me from dropping this kind of coin on an amp. If I were to start playing out again, this would be what I would want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just put another $100 down on the amp. My bonus didn't come this week, so I will get it, and the amp two weeks from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdouglas Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'd love to trade in a few amps for a V or a Lonestar....or a Heartbeaker. Too painful to sell/ship heavy tube amps via ebay, and Craigslist sucks now...and of course GC trade in prices blow....so I sit... Any ideas for me??

Sorry, I wasn't clear...I have 7 amps already..I need to unload a few before I get anymore....its more a space and sanity thing. :P Gear is more fun to buy then to unload. :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
