Members babond Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 So I haven't used the amp in about three years and my friend really wants to buy it. I'm not strapped for cash but then again I don't know if I'll ever use it despite another friend of mine talking about really wanting to start our band back up. I figure if I do sell it I can always buy a nice Traynor or Spider Valve for around $600 used if we actually get the band back in full gear. I dunno though.... what do you guys think?

Members Sixtonoize Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 That's more than they usually go for. I certainly wouldn't trade one for a SpiderValve, but if you can get $850 for it, go wild.You might be able to get a Dual Rec for $850, if you look and bargain hard enough.

Members MattACaster Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thats what I bought mine for a some years back. But it was in mint and the previous only had bought it only 2 weeks before. It is a Series 1 or 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boatshoes Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 i would say $800 seems about right...I have seen them go for $900 before though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhenson42 Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 $850 is a great price given the current market. If I was buying now I wouldn't pay more than $650 - $700 for one. You can get Duals for $900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members babond Posted May 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 part of me hates to part with it because it was my first (and only) really nice amp. i figure i could sell it for $850 and stick the cash back and if the band gets going I could buy something else. while i do really like the mesa i think there might be something i'm a little more into. i never got to try an OD with my single rectifier but I really think it would have tightened it up and made it sound better. the mesa always sounded kind of loose and.... errr fizzy perhaps? ive watched clips of laneys and traynor amps and they seem pretty cool. i wouldnt mind get a nice 2x12 that is versatile and can handle good rock tones (think foo fighters). any suggestions?

Members facefirst Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 Have you ever put the treble to zero and dialed the treble in with the presence knob? That really helps get rid of the fizzyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members babond Posted May 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 bump. i'm looking at maybe selling this today for $850. i think i would like to have a nice 2x12 combo amp for gigging. i want something that is versatile. descent cleans and tight distortion (think foo fighters). i might even go as far as getting a new head though because i still have the mesa 4x12... suggestions please! how are traynor amps? i saw some vids on youtube and they seem pretty sweet.
