Anybody researched where/who has the best prices on Mesa gear? Particularly interested in Scout series. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mesa gear is the same price, no matter where you buy it. Very strict pricing policy, from Mesa. Go to any Mesa dealer, get the mesa price.

I got a WA Scout 12" combo recently-LOVELY combo!!! Good thing w/ these(& All Mesa Gear??) is the Handmade-ness... So AFAIK It could easily be worked on IF anything went wrong... I'd go 2nd hand unless U a Rich man! :-)

The used market is the best place to get a Mesa. Stores won't even give you a price break for floor models. I scored a 400+ here about a year ago, man it's a sweet amp.

TB classifieds is the best place to buy Mesa, IMHO.

I did manage to get a nice break ($300 off) on a Walkabout floor model combo three years ago. But everything I've read since indicates I was extremely lucky.
