    Where to buy Mesa Vintage Powerhouse cabs?

    Thanks for the responses, check two up - I was the original poster. Just wanted to update saying I had finally gotten them (two cabs instead of the 4x10 to make it a more modular rig). Hope the pictures help anyone considering a similar setup.

    Where to buy Mesa Vintage Powerhouse cabs?

    Ordered them from Mesa in Hollywood while I was on a cross country motorcycle trip, they were here when I got home. 2x10 and 1x15. Not nearly as loud as my 6x10, but I'm getting too old for loud, unarticulate, heavy cabs. Depending on the gig I split the rig up and just take the 15 occasioinally.

    How to use send/return on Mesa 400+?

    something interesting to report. I got two new monster cables. Using the send/return does indeed mute the amp when the tuner is engaged. I was surprised by this actually. Even more surprising, and I have no idea why, the signal is jacked up somehow by using the tuner in the effects loop. I don't...

    How to use send/return on Mesa 400+?

    The tuner mutes output when engaged. If I used the send into it, and then used the return backt to the amp would that do it? Does my signal get diverted out to the send only when the return is hooked up? I'd just try it, but I don't have enough cables.

    How to use send/return on Mesa 400+?

    I just got my Mesa 400+ don't understand at all how to use the send/return jacks. I'm kind of a nut about not wanting anything in my signal path between the guitar and amp. I need to hook up my Sonic Research turbo tuner though. I understand I can just run a cable out of send to the tuner...

    G&G Custom ordered case

    G&G did a tooled leather style case for deluxe strats a while back. I contacted G&G about getting one for my Jazz, initially wanting brown. Gus called back, and said that black would look much better with the blue poodle interior I wanted. I think I got the first black tooled case they've done...

    Where to buy Mesa Vintage Powerhouse cabs?

    Finally got my AWESOME 400+. You may have seen it on the bay, it was Ken Lawrence's amp he hand picked while working for Mesa. Anyways, found a small store a ways south of me, called ready to order. He says he'll have to call me back after he talks to his rep about pricing for that cab. Never...

    Drop D for American Jazz?

    Does hipshot make a drop d tuner for my 2001 jazz? I see one for mid 90's, and a new one for 08 & up models. The mid 90's looks just like mine, but it has two mounting pins that my tuners do not have. http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=6

    Measure Your Mesa 400+ For Me?

    this is my approximation of what it'll look like. I'm thinking either a nice leather handle on top or two leather handles, one on each side.

    Measure Your Mesa 400+ For Me?

    I'm still waiting on my 400 to get here, but want to get a custom cabinet ordered for it. I've heard the depth on these amps was 12". Can someone confirm that? Also, is this measurement from the front of the handles or the face of the amp? I'm guessing the handles stick out an inch.
