This is a 1986 Mesa Boogie Mark III Purple Stripe Combo in Imbuya and Wicker. As far as I know this amp is 100% original. Features include Graphic EQ, Reverb, and Simul-Class which would make this a DRG. Also includes an Electro-Voice EVM-12L speaker. Chassis mount is SUS-4. Original vinyl cover is included but quite worn out. Does the job but doesn't look very good.
I've wanted a hardwood Mark III for a while and I picked this up recently because I have been interested in the lower wattage options with the the purple stripe. After messing with the amp a bit I decided I would rather have a Mark III with all the factory mods performed. I found a hardwood Mark III head with all the mods (including the "III+" mod) and I would like to pick it up. I don't have the budget for a lot of amps so I am hoping to sell this one to fund another. In the mean time I will be playing this amp and probably upgrading the tubes soon.
You can judge the condition for yourself based on the photos. The imbuya cab I would rate as "good". The face and top are pretty clean but the back has some big bumps. The amp itself is super clean with an unblemished face, clean transformer and heat sink, all slider knobs in place, etc. As far as I understand it has not been modded, restored, or serviced any time recently. I am only a few hours away from Mesa Boogie Petaluma and if you'd like to have this amp serviced I would consider shipping to the factory on your behalf after purchase.
Asking $1,600. I will deal with packing but would prefer to ship using your FedEx or UPS account number. Easier for me and you pay the best rate for the exact cost to ship to your location.
