Mesa Buster 200?

I've been saving up for a 800RB to match my 300W @ 4ohm 2x12. Missed a local one on CL last week by a few minutes. Yesterday a guy I work with offered up his Mesa Boogie Buster 200 combo with a 15 in it. Said I could make an offer as he never uses it. He got it used for 6 bills. Those models are now discontinued.

 

In terms of volume, would the 200 tube watts be at all comprable to the 300 SS watts of the GK? I fell in love with the GK's 800's tone and power, and am thinking I should probably hold off for the GK. Any idea why those Mesa's were discontinued?

 

Thanks for the info. JR

The GK amp is very easy to find.

The Buster is very difficult.

 

Try it out to see if you like it. If so, and you don't mind the size and weight, get it!!

120 lbs???!!!??

 

Wow. Even with the handle and wheels my back would be f'd in no time. I offered $1 a watt for the Mesa. We'll see what happens. I'd much rather the GK 800RB to match my cab.

The GK and the Mesa are going to sound pretty different from each other. If you really like the way GK sounds, my first thought is that you won't enjoy the Mesa as much. I'm not saying you wouldn't like it, it's just different.

Bottom line is if I can get it for $1 a watt, I'll take it no matter what.

 

I'll buy it from you... I'm looking for a tube combo for when my 350lbs tube rig is overkill :thu:
