Free Agent Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 One of the kids is a guitar phenom. Time to move him to a real amp. The Mesa Boogie like a winner. They have 2 mods the Mark 5 and the Electrodyne. Any takes? Quote

Free Agent Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Mesa Amps are my favorite! Mark 5 is a great little amp that is very versatile! How long has the kid been playing? Five years and he's really good. He just has the little Fender practice amp. Music talent runs in his moms side of the family. Should I try and grind the price of the amp at Guitar Center?

Chadwick Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Answer these questions first. What type of music does he play? What type of guitar does he have and if you do buy the Mesaboogie are u going to get the half stack or combo version. These are important questions to know before you select one of the two amps. They both have their advantages for different styles. Quote
TheAlaskan Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 one of the great things about guitar center is you can go in there and play all the amps..... I say take him in there and see which one and which effects and features he likes best. I used to spend hours in guitar center when I played regularly Quote

I say take him in there and see which one and which effects and features he likes best. I used to spend hours in guitar center when I played regularly Yep, that's what we did. I like the old, very shop-worn Telecasters and Strats they have all about too. The Mesa was the pick. What a superb sound. Quote
Chadwick Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Mesaboogie builds there amps like a tank! They have superb sound and have been my favorite for years now. Owned Marshall's, Orange and Fenders in the past but my Mesa has never failed me. Good job on the buy! Quote
TheAlaskan Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Mesa Boogie's are great amps. Congrats, make sure he keeps plucking away at it I rarely pick mine up anymore, I've forgotten so many songs and chords its kinda frustrating Quote
mush Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 does he have any intrest in bass guitar? i have a really nice bass i paid 700 bucks for never played and it collects dust. Quote
SandSoulja Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 take: MARSHALL MARSHALL MARSHALL!!!! mesa does make really nice amps you cant go wrondg with any of them! Find me at the campfire this season for an acoustic jam sesh too!!! Quote
Free Agent Posted September 4, 2009 Author Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Our youngest was struggling with the big Strat, forget the Les Paul so we got him the Half Strat and the Blackstar Stack amp. The Blackstar was only $499, is a full tube type, and does it ever sound good.

Not quite the snot, ut sure sounds as clean. Damn, what bang for the buck. Edited September 4, 2009 by Free Agent Quote
