Although, I'm not upset, the more i read about IIb's the more i think i wouldn't need one. I have a much better plan of attack to regain some former IIC+ glory. I hear Mike B does the IIC+ mod for $200 on a IIC! CHA CHING. I see IIC amps selling for as low as $600, and even with the EQ. Beam me up Scotty and FUCK the inflated prices.

If you can find a IIC let me know. They are rarer then a IIC+ ;)

I passed my real estate license course and I take the state exam on the 20th of this month. Been, (In japanese accent) praying da bruise with my uncle's band, and doing session work and teaching at my friends guittar store. Still waiting for my rack from Bradshaw. so far 7 months on what was a 12 week estimate. sigh... I miss all the goodies and am DYING to play with the new additions to the family. In the mean time I still have the Intellifex and a few pedals here so it's all good. Been jamming with the Fuchs ODS live, and at home I spend a few weeks at a time between the Fuchs, the Boogie and the Peacemaker. I want my Marshall and my Super Reverb back.

Other than that all is good 75 and sunny trade winds blowing and my roommate is cute as ever. MMMM she smells good too, but I digress.... She is off limits. Damn... :D

I was going to say, learning theory would surely interrupt the nap, channel surfing cycle of activities. :D ;)

Ehh, it's like anything, it's who you know. You come here and visit the Honolulu HOM chapter and I guarantee a GOOD time!!! :thumbsup: :D

I am, of course, still working live without a net when it comes to my playing but my laziness is at an extreme advaced stage, so I fear there is little if any hope for me. :no:

I did on Craigslist, and for cheap. It's non simulclass, but since my old nonsimulclass IIC+ sounded as good as anything I'm going to reap the benefits of not paying more for a fully loaded one. The guy hasn't emailed me back yet though.

How can you tell if it's a MK-IIc?
My friend Ronni has a MK-II w/EQ but no + sign in the back.

This site will help.

I think the serial number is the first thing to check.
 
Damm, looks like the on saw is a IIA. The IIC+ had serial numbers from 11500-14000. I don't know how many IIC's were made but they do indeed seem to be rare. Anything with a 10,000 or low 11,000 is probably a IIC.

IIC's are rarer then the IIC+'s. After Mesa started dicking around they announced that the IIC+ was superior to the IIC and lots of guys sent their IIc's back and had them modded to C+ specs. Mesa also discontinued making the IIC in favor of the IIC+. I have only seen 1 IIC on ebay in all the years of looking at boogies!!

Thought this might be a worthy addition:

Apparently the MKIII Coliseum S/N, according to Mesa/Boogie, starts at K500.

Mine is K513, MKIII Coliseum Simul-Class no stripe. What I highlighted is not accurate.
