For Sale :: 1981 Mesa/Boogie Mark IIB

For sale here is my 1981 Mark IIB combo amp. The amp is HRGX spec – 100W, reverb, graphic EQ, with the voltage-switchable export transformer – and is finished in cream tolex. Aside from the reverb knob missing from the back panel of the amp, it’s in beautiful condition.

A truly awesome sounding amp, a shame to see it go.

Comes with a flight case and footswitch.

Mark IIB MESA/Boogie

20110413-151337.jpg

My 1981 Mark II Boogie has been out of action for a couple of weeks after a preamp tube failure. I swapped in some JJ 12AX7s (not my favourites, but still) from my Ceriatone Overtone Special yesterday to get it back up and running – super, super classic tone. There is nothing more fun than revisiting an amp like this…super super tone. Nice.

EDIT: Apparently the preamp tubes were not at fault – the relay has been isolated as the cause of the issue I’ve been having with the amp. Bugger.
