Gentleman,
I have a blonde short head Mk 2 C+ with reverb, 5 band graphic EQ, 100/60 switch (non simul) w/flight case in beautiful condition. A little wear here, but that’s it. And I do mean little.
I was wondering what these guys are going for these days. Hard to say anymore, as they have become too legendary. She’s all original, was never modded at the factory for upgrades, came this way and all is verified through Boogie.
I hate to admit it, but I must be getting old or something. Things have changed alright. Now I play jump blues and rockabilly with strats through a sweet old blackface Fender Super Reverb. Everything with this Boogie is right on, without question. Reverb is even smokin’ cool and deep. No baloney like scratchy pots even, nothing.
Includes flight case of course. Also thinking of selling the mint wide body ¾ back 1/12 Mesa cabinet as well.
I haven’t used the amp out in years, and when I fire it up at home it is so powerful I double up 20 foot cords and hang out in the hallway. Power attenuator? Naw, why even have this amp if you are going to say that, my opinion anyway.
Thinking of passing her on to the next generation. I bought it years ago when I was doing a Clapton/Cream thing. I sold three 100 watt Marshall heads when I found this, and never looked back. The amp used to bring them in from blocks away, stunned, to the clubs we were playing.
It is in fine working order, has ZERO issues, and my Mesa approved Boogie repair tech went through her a year ago, dropped in new 6l6 and preamp set Mesa labeled tubes from Svetlana, and even he tried to buy it from me-but he could never afford it. I also have a full set of five new JJ 12ax7’s labeled for the specific V positions as backup as well from Bob at Eurotubes. The only thing to mention is that currently the caps are still doing fantastic; tech said they are fine, but will need to be changed one of these years, as with all amps. I told him to do it if it needed it, and he said not even close to being time with the tone it has now. Nothing to hide, that’s why I share this.
I’m not sure what I want to ask for it, that’s why I’m putting this out to this forum and not the classifieds. I know that’s wishy washy, my apologies. I did see one on flea bay for 2500, but with 5 days to go and no bids, and it doesn’t have everything mine has. Still seems absurd to think of that price, but the tone……special indeed.
I’m in no rush, and am well aware of how special this amp is. It really is everything they say it is, and the leads, good gawd. Just not my thing anymore, too rockin’ and way too much firepower. These days I’m a clean jump blues guy, Freddie King, Howlin’ Wolf, play lots of slide jukes, that sort of thing. As for those goofy jam bands out there, this amp will send ‘em all home with their tails between their legs. I’m looking for another vintage blackface Super Reverb, or even a sweet old Deluxe Reverb, something along those lines, so trades a possibility. I’d move the Boogie to get another old Fender before the prices are out of my reach on those.
Advice would be appreciated on pricing, and if you are interested you can e-mail. Keep it clean, this is from work. Pics, serial # and so on always available, with no BS hidden surprises. Just know up front I take things slow, too many fools and cheeseballs out there. Please act accordingly.
Regards, and thanks for the advice if you pen any…
