VIEW FULL LIVE VERSION : MESA/BOOGIE 400+ with SUS-4 Suspension RACK

It pains me to do this, but I'm putting my Mesa/Boogie 400+ with Suspension rack and a HUGE load of extra tubes up for grabs. This has been a great amp, but due to the fact that I have to now carry PA gear along with my bass gear I'm trying to downsize my personal gear.

Due to my distrust of shippers, I'm looking to sell regionally, and will drive up to 3 hours (from Syracuse NY) in any direction to meet with the buyer. That means, areas of NY,PA, NJ, MA, VT, etc. Therefore, if the buyer is also willing to make a bit of a drive, most of the Northeast US is in range.

Here are the details:

If you're looking for a completely solid, trouble free, no hassles tube amp, this is it. I've had it for 2ish years, and bought it originally from TBer Hurley000, who also had zero problems with it. I picked it up from him directly so there was no shipping involved or shipping damage to worry about. The amp has been treated with respect and absolutely no abuse of any kind.

About a year and a half ago, I replaced all the tubes with JJ tubes from Bob at Eurotubes, just because I like their tone and I wanted something different from the Mesa/GT sound. The tubes have never been pushed hard, as I play clean and not at huge volume. They have years of life to go.

The amp has the transformer date of 1997. All sliders are intact, there are no problems with any of the push/pulls, pots or controls. Check out the pictures for the details, but the amp is in excellent condition minus some chipping to the anodizing on the rack guards. The amp's original hang tag, unused amp 'feet' are included in the sale.

What you get:

-A trouble free all-tube Mesa 400+

-A Mesa SUS-4 Suspension rack (deep version). If you price this out you KNOW how expensive this rack is and how solidly its built!

-A variety of tubes: 22 Mesa branded 6L6 power tubes (it would be 24 but I gave 2 to my guitarist when HIS amp needed them), 4 Groove Tubes 12AX7 preamp tubes, 4 Mesa branded 12AX7 preamp tubes.

The price is an even $1000. I'll take cash at time of drop off, or Paypal before drop-off. At this time I'm not willing to pack or ship .

Feel free to PM me with any questions, concerns, comments or offers, but if you make an insultingly low offer be prepared for me to post it with your name. :)
