I just picked up a model 1978 (bass) Major from 1970, my 2nd Marshall after just getting a 1959HW. The major could use a little better note clarity so I'm looking at the filters and JJ tubes as possible points to make improvements. I'm not against changing non-signal path e-caps either if it...

I will try- a coli should be 180W, not partially neutered. I'll be seeing him soon to grab the amps that are done (including a rare 6-pre tube C+ with cathode follower) and drop off a couple more. He said he's not going anywhere for now but I'm making a colossal effort to have his hands and...

hear here! And the coli, any version but especially the Mark II is as good as a Mark gets. Mike loop modded 3 IIB coli this year, all SP 9A, but the 1st pair Mike said had already been made 9C spec with cascode on V4, something he likely does when doing the loop. For non-loop mod there is still...

I thought that red stripe looked familiar. I missed on 2 60W'er IIC+'s this year for $1500, but one the seller didn't know what they were selling. That particular one went to a Chicago hoarder who obviously decided to dump it and the last I saw the price drops took it close to 3K but he had...

Mesa Mark III red stripe long chassis head with Fender 412 in the bay area listed for $1750. Long head vs short head is always better. Oh wait we're talking about amps.,, Either DRG or HRG. The EL34's suggest the "fully loaded" DRG despite the seller's 50/100W description...

This may be the catalyst for the new policy- on ebay there is a IV right now down in Okieland listed as dead and the following: "Had it to one repair man for 6 months with no repair (I should have listened to him). Sent it 3 times to another repairman who assured me he could fix it----still...

Did they say specifically the brown leaky cap issue is a no go or something more general? Either way that sucks and it seems like the job from hell if they've leaked. And it sounded like there were levels of horrid so is yours bad? I'm guessing it isn't preventative if they're turning down a...

A few things I've been keeping an eye out for should a partial trade work out: 14-16' enclosed trailer, '03 and up white sequoia, ktm older 2-stroke exc 300-450cc, old triumph 650/750 2013 sg deluxe, mesa revolver, mesa d180, original bi-phase, working tape delay

Mesa Mark IV - rev B $1.4k Idk about crazy but extremely reasonable for these days with hard case for anyone in WNY Needs a new reverb tank which is cheap. https://rochester.craigslist.org/msg/d/manlius-mesa-boogie-mk-iv-x-12-combo/7529355655.html

Well for those same reasons I can only let go of 2...

Ok here is the unofficial background music to this listing. One of the best vocalists of all time that seamus:

I had heavy doses of tad as a side to my nirvana jesus lizard main meal growing up the second time It might have been that sup-pop sampler that was extremely impressive to blame idr Speaking of is Dave on here? If so could you work it so you can play drums for me once on scentless, school, in...

you will fall down bohemoth mother fucker you will fall down! (i hear voices in my head)

For the Bass 400 the new heater 1W carbon comps are in. This amp came with 5 7581A's and I've tried to get 6 str 418's but only have 4. Being at the end of the product run I wonder if this was "voiced" for the 6L6 as I assume the 418's were getting scarce. I know you are supposed to be able to...

wrapping up loose ends- the fathom was an easy solder. If I could order a new part I would just replace it but I've never seen an open coil inductor like this and wouldn't know what to call it to look for one let alone rating.
