Someone must of snagged the one in the second link. Anyone here?
Yes it does. I was kind of pondering that as well. Can't loose either way.
WTH is it with Marshalls lately?
Big boy this time..

That's not the good one. The knobs only go to 10.
Well worth the wait. They're obviously not just rushing them out but ensuring you'll get a well built Thunderbird. The build quality on mine is first rate.

In speaking with my rep at Sweetwater they are definitely not rushing them out the door so to speak. The wait time for Pelham or Inverness is only slightly shorter by a week or two.

Just had time for a pic before dashing off to dinner, the dress was a smash!
Looks good but I think the Thunderbird sticker gives a lift that makes them special

Tonight’s rig…couldn’t get a decent pic. First gig with the Mesa SW215. It does not suck. Mesa TT800 amp, Blast Cult upright and Fano JM4 electric w/Cobalt flats
Happiest Birthday, Queen! @TBird1958
I'm not great guitar player too so might just find Epi Firebird. But it's going to be nice to see if some of you guys already have it.

Looking good! Happy birthday!
Like a lot of things, one is on the GAS list.
Nice! I would love to snag one of those 2x15 cabs to pair with my HiWatt head. Always loved the sound of a 2x15 cab.

When I was building custom cabs, we offered a 215 with the same drivers as this new Mesa 215. Our cab was very popular amongst a certain crowd of players. I will say, I like the form factor of the Mesa a bit more. Ours was tall, wide and shallow, whereas the Mesa is short, narrow and deep. It’s a much bigger sounding cab than its size would suggest. The Faital 15PR400 is like the very best vintage 15 you ever heard ‘back in the day,’ but handles way more power and extends lower AND higher. It’s a remarkable speaker. My DIY ‘1822’ cab uses a very similar Faital 18” speaker with two 2” mid drivers in a sealed cab and it’s my favorite cab I’ve ever made. I sold like 5 or 6 of em. The combo of an 18” driver in a sealed enclosure brought up too many preconceived notions so I could barely give em away. Too bad. That had so much punch and great off axis dispersion. Oh well! For now, if you want that classic vintage vibe but with massively improved power handling and frequency range, the Mesa SW215 is very tough to beat. The Berg NV412 is also seriously underrated if you don’t mind the schlep
Haha! Naw, just tons of blue light and a fog machine
