Good question, I've wondered this myself, and I have a Mesa Mark I Re-issue. My cleans are great, but the gain can be hard to dial in with both a SSH strat and a Firebird with vintage firebuckers. I did try a Rat with a les paul custom going through a Champ and that was great. Back in 1982...

I have a '90 reissue. Black Rolex, c90 People call it the Robben Ford Special. It can do metal. I run into a twin cabinet. It's got 60watt switch and tweed switch, so it goes down to 22 watts, more than enough!

Still saving for my preamp tubes, but I have changed my power tubes, along with screen resistors that blew up when my amp fell 3.5 feet, I haven't changed out tubes in 7 years, though. I've just been playing at home, though. Did you know Chinese tube makers have re-issued an RCA blackplate...

wow, I'm actually jealous, guess i'll have to join a band 8) I'm paying off a repair for a 1991 MB Mark 1 Re-issue, then i still have to get some preamp tubes, havent done that since 2010 i tripped on the power cord and lucky the beast didn't land on me!

Can also have blown screen resistors if a power tube got loose in the socket!

those mark 3s! I had a nice one sc eq no reverb with the wheels, even bought the stand! '88 jackson strat with 1 emg 81

if its a screen resistor failure, the next tube will blow too! plus capacitors are supposed to be burned in before you use the amplifier? with some kind of dimmer switch in between power socket and the amplifier plug

I played one last week that made its way to the guitar center of san jose, not too shabby!

its probably a hardware mod youll have to reverse

I think a matched pair of mesa-branded str 440 tubes will do fine, my boogie mark 1 reissue does fine with ordinary mesa tubes in the power section. no biasing required as long as long as you use mesa boogie 6l6 tubes or tubes from a boutique supplier like dougstubes.com or eurotubes.com...

That Bassman looks like a steal! Here it is: Page Item 132-135 guitars 140-1 Mesa Boogies 144 Guitars 148 Marshall Fender amp 154 tele super reverb 160 fender cab 172 hagstrom...

take it back with receipts and a bad attitude! or take it out of the cabinet and use chop sticks to poke at the chassis co ponents at a safe distance if you hear noise then it might be that component you are poking at :lol:
