I had a near fatal GAS explosion last week. In the aftermath these items are eligible for adoption:

Mesa Buster 200. SOLD Very clean. The only esthetic flaw is a tiny 5mm nick in the tolex on the upper edge just above the master knob-barely shows in the pics and invisible unless you're searching with a fine tooth comb. Works perfectly. I was told by the seller it lived its' entire life in a studio, and by the looks of it it might actually be true. Swirl marks on the top in pics are because I gave it a quick wipe with a wet rag and there's dust on it. I have no info on the tubes, so unsure of their vintage. When warm she sings loud and deep. IMO she's best at clean tube tone but does dirty as well, and at 200 watts you can really open her up. Weighs more than my AD200, I'd guess 65 lbs. FX loop, selectable eq, DI.

750 shipped CONUS or CAN

Also Mesa Fathom (M6) head. As new but missing one of the rubber feet. With manuals, receipt and transferrable warranty card. Never racked and barely used. 775. shipped CONUS or CAN Still available.

Markbass -SOLDSOLDSOLDcmd 121P combo with MB cover. As new and barely used, as I have the LM11 head as well (which I'll keep).
725 shipped CONUS or CAN

Paypal works. Not much I'm looking for in trades, but am open +/- cash as needed. I love Roscoe Beck V (any bass trade offer MUST be 34" 5-string with 19mm spacing unless it's a Rob Allen Mouse), might like a Radial Bassbone, a 4 Ohm Epi or Markbass 210, small Schro 4 Ohm cab -hit me up. I'll try and get Markbass/ Fathom pics up later. Note I cannot ship until middle of next week. Happy thumpin'.

Note the addition of an essentially new Mesa Fathom head to the list.

pm sent re Fathom.

O, checking the finances. PM coming soon on the Carbine

Markabass combo will find a new home up north, pending payment by ezrs.

Markabass combo is gone, payment received-many thanks. That leaves a virtually new Fathom/M6 Carbine head with transferrable warranty card and about 4.5 of the 5 yrs of warranty remaining. Thinking of keeping it, but afraid I might cause a seismic event, or simply end my musical joy by blowing out my eardrums (even WITH plugs) via a careless brush of the master. The tone is outstanding, but the 600 watts sounds like 6K. I can't imagine edging past 9 o'clock other than outdoors.

Bump for one of the best sounding heads (mine is a Mesa M6 Carbine) I have owned in the past ten years. Easy to work with. It only has seven knobs and you only have to turn one to get five usable sounds. Works great for cover band playing. It has the best sounding vintage growling SVT sound that I have ever heard from a solid state amp.

It is a cool amp.

TTT.
Would trade the Fathom for a newer blackface Walkabout head. Anyone with one of those looking for a whole lot more clean headroom and 1 less tube?

happy Thursday bimp
