Members dragon9666 Posted February 13, 2007 Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 Yup. And they can have only one dealer per so many miles/people........ Ever wonder why you can find 'em on the internet?(save used on ebay) Alittle pricey, but if you can dig it, its tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ZedsDead Posted February 13, 2007 Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 Mesa is a relatively small company and protects local dealers. It is forbidden to sell them online and they even try to regulate what stores sell them for. The idea is... they want all dealers selling them for the same price so there is no reason for a customer to buy anywhere other then at the local dealer. One of the single largest music stores in the country lost their Mesa dealership a few years ago because they tried to sell online and cut prices in the store. Prices outside of the US are high. You'd do much better to find a US dealer and contact them directly. If they are willing to ship, you'll save a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToeJamFootball Posted February 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2007 you can buy them online here in australia, actually, they are listed online, but maybe you have to actually go in to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender says they have a "lowest price" so mom and pop stores can compete. As for Mesa, I got a my Big Block 750 for a steal, used though. New, it's a bitch. Yo.

Members bassman1956 Posted February 14, 2007 Members Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yes, Mesa costs $$$.Everywhere. But, you never hear things like... "Damn Mesa""All I got is this Mesa""Need to upgrade" ... think about it. They may be pricey. But evidently there are tons of people thinking they're worth it if you can afford them.

Members Narcosynthesis Posted February 14, 2007 Members Share Posted February 14, 2007 Pricey, but undoubtably very high quality amps built fully in the US, so you can see where the cost come from David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members theoriz Posted February 14, 2007 Members Share Posted February 14, 2007 I think mesa's policy is not right. I got my Aguilar DB-750 for 2000 euros, a price more or less the same as in the US. The same goes for a lot of other products lately, basses amps etc. But mesa is simply not doing that. European prices are much higher. That's why I'd never buy something from them.

Members Funkee1 Posted February 14, 2007 Members Share Posted February 14, 2007 Mesa sets their prices so that everyone sells their stuff for EXACTLY the same price. Dealers have been dropped for price gouging, and for discounting. Customers do not have to price compare because every dealer SHOULD have the same price. Like Hotblack said, that's not a great thing for you, but think about when the last time you heard someone complain about Mesa quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it more than a few times. Usually regarding their choice of tubes to put in and that they've tried to say that you can't use any other tubes besides Their Brand. Honestly, that's usually about it and most people just blow off that warning and use better tubes anyway. Their stuff is pretty good from my experience.

Or "I called them and they still haven't gotten back to me." Those folks up in Petaluma know how to treat their customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
