Up for sale is my beloved Mesa Boogie M2000. I bought it new, and am the sole owner. I gigged with it for about 6 months after I bought it, and then took about 12 years off and it sat in my closet. I started playing/gigging again about a year ago, and have put probably another 30 gigs on it in that time.
I re-tubed it about 8 months ago with JJ's, and it sounds great! I have never had any issues with this head other than those inflicted by me! At one point, one side of the graphic EQ (I can't remember which) was damaged/bent while being transported to a gig due to poor stacking by my then singer. Mesa sent me a whole new slider assembly for free (way to go Mesa!) so I popped that in there and it's been great ever since. That's actually been the only problem!
This head went home in the Mesa rack bag that it's in and has never left it, so it's in pretty amazing shape. The footswitch has the most wear, but even that is minimal. I'd say the head is 9+ out of 10, and the footswitch 8 out of 10.
If you've ever wanted to own this head, I don't think you can find a cleaner example than this unless it's still new in the box. Every tone you could ever want is in this head, and it has been very good to me. I just want to get something smaller/lighter.
