Members wednesdaysworse Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 Looking for combo to handle medium clubs (300 people) unmiked and large summer fest stages miked for blues/funk/rock with Strats. Have used Fender Vibrolux RI, small 45W Rivera and a few 30W tube Peaveys with so-so happiness. Now considering Mesa Boogie F50 or Mark I reissue. Any input, reviews, comments are appreciated. I would like to keep it 1X12", 50-100W, under 65lbs and under $1300. Ability to easily add a speaker cab also helpful. I don't care about bedroom or rehearsal space reviews - I need a reliable gigging amp. Good clean is important. Mesa seems to be a good fit. Ideas? Thanks.

Members hbar Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 What didn't you like about the Fender & the Rivera? That's what I would have suggested!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wednesdaysworse Posted December 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thanks, hbar. For me, guitars are easy to like, amps are not.I guess I'm looking for a little more...More Fender watts would probably mean a Twin (my back twinges) or a higher end Rivera (my wallet is killing me). I am curious about Mesa line. But, the Santana legacy bothers me... I like his playing but not his sound. Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Check out Valvetech. There's at least one 50 watt 2x12 floating around this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elliott Damage Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Mark I is 100 watts and extremely loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gatordoc Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Just pick up a used MK IV and be done with it. More power than anyone will ever need and you can always add a 1 x 12 cab. Great for anything from medium size clubs on up. Pick up an amp cart and the weight won't be an issue. Great tone is supposed to hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
