I KNEW it was not going to be cheap but boy oh boy these suckers are priced for the PRS/GIBSON crowd for sure. But sure does not stop me from wanting that 2x12 combo.

Mesa Boogie has never really been a cheap company that I know of. I guess it's expensive, but not surprising IMO.

I know I know if I was not gassing for it so bad it would not bother me.
But the price for that head is more than what I paid for my M9 Carbine by quite a few Benjamin Franklin's and then some.

Maxi, is that a U.S. built handwired PTP amp?

If it is, that's not too outlandish.
If it's built offshore with a circuitboard......:thwap

Mesa is expensive, however, they do make really nice amphs that are built like tanks.

^There is a gentleman that would know. They probably sound pretty nice too, eh Don?

 

[bcdon]

Yep. It was way more than I wanted to spend but I have zero regrets. I love my boogie! :dude

 

[Tig]

I'd be beyond happy with the TA-15.
Right, DVM?

 

[duhvoodooman]

Yeah, Mesa Boogie doesn't exactly give their stuff away. OTOH, their engineering and product quality is top-shelf. I dropped $900 on my Transatlantic TA-15 head, and I gotta say it's worth every penny of that.

 

[helliott]

Yep, they're not cheap. But I've been playing Mesa's for a while for live gigging, and wouldn't trade for anything. They're tough as nails, versatile, and they sound great, at least the clean channels (not that wild about the drive channel). I swear by my Lone Star Special for the kind of music I play.

Don at Haggerty's Music has another great boogie demo, this time the Transatlantic 30.
