MGR/J. « Mesa Boogie Mark IV »
Published on 09/16/01 at 15:00MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER DIED. AND AS I SEE IT, SHE WAS SUSPICOUSLY REINCARNATED AS A MESA BOOGIE MRK4 AMPLIFIER AT TURRAMURRA MUSIC CENTRE, AND I FELT IT MY SOLE DUTY TO AQUIRE HER NEW CARNATION FOR THE PITIFULL AMOUNT OF $2700. IF IT WERE ANY OTHER AMP, SHE'D BE ON A DUSTY MANTLE PIECE. THANK HER LUCKY STARS SHE HAPPENED TO PICK THE AMP FOR ME, AND TOGETHER WE SING, ME, GREAT GRANS AND DEAR UNCLE BOB-MY AXE.
UM. I STILL HAVEN'T 'TUNED' IT.AND I LIKE THIS, BECAUSE EVERY TIME I TWEAK IT I'M FOUND HOURS LATER, EXHAUSTED IN A HEAP ON THE FLOOR. IT'S NOT A CERTAIN SOUND IN THE AMP TO CALL MY OWN, BUT ALL OF THEM. WHEN I FIRST TRIED IT OUT IN A SHOP, I SHAT MYSELF AND SHUT IT OFF IMEDIATELY, SCARED SOMEONE WOULD HEAR IT AND BUY IT BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO. THREE DAYS OF PRAYING AND IT WAS MINE!
OK. I KIND OF FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT THE PROTYPE AND THEY DIDN'T ATTACH THE BACK PANEL.DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M GLAD I'VE GOT A MILLION AND ONE VARIABLES IN TONE, I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY, BUT EVERY TIME I TAKE A PEEK AT ALL THE SWITCHES, I'M LEFT FEELING AS IF THERES A SOUND IN THERE I HAVEN'T YET FELT(PLEASE REFER TO THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH).
I'M YET TO SEE AND HEAR AN AMP AS GOOD. I GUESS THIS FEELING OF LOVE FOR MY AMP MAY BE SHOWERING UNTOLD MEASURES OF BIAS, BUT IS'NT THAT THE QUESTION. I MEAN I KNOW THE AMPS A GOOD ONE, BUT TO DEBATE OUT THE FINER POINTS IS ONLY MISSING THE POINT. YOU CAN NOT PLAY THROUGH AN AMP AT ALL WELL, UNLESS HOWEVER YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH IT.
THE MESA BOOGIE MARK IV CAN ACHIEVE AN ABSOLUTELY STAGGERING AMOUNT OF VARIATIONS IN TONE, AND HAS AN INESCAPABLE SIGNATURE TO ITS SOUND. THIS SIGNATURE SOUND HOWEVER CAN ONLY BE FOR SOME, AND I AM DEFINETLY ONE OF THEM.
